Gowtham J - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools
The initial setup process involves three trigger points. One is a manual trigger, where users interact with a button or interface element to start the flow. The second is the recurrence trigger, which allows users to schedule automated maintenance at a specific time. Third is a data-driven trigger, where the flow is initiated based on an event in a database, such as creating a new line item in SharePoint database. Once triggered, the flow continues to execute, performing the configured actions and providing the results.
Rahul Sharma. - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution with a comparison feature that helps people to understand and visualize the impact of a particular task
UiPath Process Mining is as lightweight a tool as it is new. It's not able to handle a lot of logs in one go at high speed. The solution's speed is fairly good, but it should be further increased to make it more powerful to process large amounts of logs. Logs should be as much as possible. We have taken one year's and sometimes two years' logs to understand the behavior. We are not here solving small problems because a lot of money is invested. I have observed that handling a large amount of logs slows down the solution's performance. This area is improving because we are now observing a new version of UiPath Process Mining with improved speed. As a developer, I'll be happy to see that happening more quickly, and I am sure the solution is heading there.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The sequencer programming mode's ease of use is its most valuable aspect. The ease of calling out the functions in a sequence, basically from the functional side, is great."
"The most valuable feature is the ability and ease of linking multiple connectors within the same flow."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like Power Automate because it is very easy to use for users who don't have IT knowledge."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Very reasonably priced."
"It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use."
"This solution improved the reporting in our organization. The financial department was doing a lot of copy pasting from different sources to create financial reports. Through ProcessRobot, we were able to automate all those copy pasting and produce all those financial reports overnight."
"UiPath Process Mining has a good roadmap ahead for the future."
"The solution counts the number of cross-sections at each step of the year which allows you to see all the data to figure out what is happening in the company. You do not need to manually collect data, it continuously updates the data. Overall the solution is easy to use and has dashboards."
"The core mining analysis is strong."
"There are other automation tools on the market but Uipath is the leader with many capabilities."
"I rate the solution's initial setup a nine out of ten...I rate the solution a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is not stable and ten is stable."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath Process Mining is the comparison feature."
"This technology as a whole is really revolutionizing our finances."
"We haven't automated processes based on UiPath Process Mining, but we've used it to gain insight into our processes. It also helps us refine and speed up our standard operating procedures."
 

Cons

"I rate the technical support from Microsoft Power Automate a four out of five."
"The solution could use some more advanced AI tools. It's one of the solution's only weaknesses."
"We need a more powerful desktop option."
"We expect Microsoft Power Automate to work like any other RPA software, but at present, it is fairly lax, especially in the RPA space. We have a very limited set of use cases today for Microsoft Power Automate. Microsoft should make it a full-featured RPA product like other solutions that we use, such as Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and UiPath. This is predominantly the area that they need to improve on. Microsoft Power Automate is quite complex to use as well, especially if you want to do advanced workflows or advanced automation. The regular simple workflows are quite easy and straightforward, but the moment you want to do something complex, it is almost impossible for one of our employees to work on it."
"They need to come up with a little more on AI and precision discovery path to be able to record the processes."
"They can build more templates and more connectivity with other platforms. They can provide a more user-friendly way to connect with other platforms. They have their own in-built plugins for certain third-party vendors, but there are still a lot of third-party vendors that are not there."
"The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing."
"While working with big data, when we have structured data like logs, we have to work with an ETL tool before manipulating the data and creating the workflows and the forms. This can be improved. Big data support is something that I'd like to be covered a lot."
"UiPath could improve on how it works with the project management process and flow."
"In an upcoming release, they could improve on the customization."
"Integration with new technologies should be kept up-to-date so they can be adopted as they are released."
"I used to be a trainer and an instructional designer. I think the training has to be more specific — it's a little scattered."
"We found that the flow chart is not very clear for some of the complex processes."
"Process mining is something that we are doing, but I think it needs to be more mature. UiPath is still new to process mining. They are decent in SAP ERP when it comes to process mining. But compared to Oracle's E-Business Suite and all, they are still pretty new."
"It would be beneficial to improve the cost since it is quite expensive."
"Unlike scan.ai, UiPath Process Mining doesn't provide high-level insights. It isn't easy to integrate. They should stop selling and try to bring more value into the system. A person can have only 10 UiPath Process Mining licenses, but nobody uses them, so in hindsight, everybody feels like UiPath is a failed product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is zero licensing cost. It comes with our Microsoft Office subscription."
"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."
"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."
"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."
"This solution can save money when used for simple tasks specifically using only Microsoft products."
"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"We use Office 365 and this solution is free for me to use with the package we have. We have plans to increase the usage of Microsoft Power Automate."
"We are using the free version of Power Automate."
"We are using the Community Version of UiPath and have only a single process automated."
"It is very expensive."
"The price of UiPath Process Mining could improve."
"Our licensing for UiPath Process Mining and the various tools such as Studio Orchestrator is all paid for on an annual basis. However, with the Document Understanding feature, the licensing is per page. So if we're going to read some 20,000-30,000 pages, that becomes one separate licensing stack."
"It is not an expensive product, although the price could be lower."
"It's reasonable. It provides you with all the basic features that somebody would expect."
"It is extremely expensive."
"The licensing cost depends on the enterprise, and the discounts and offers available at the time. The price of the solution is reasonable."
