Microsoft Power Automate vs Verint Robotic Process Automation comparison

"The most valuable feature is that it is very easy to use."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power Automate is the ability to automate tedious tasks."

"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."

"It helps with the feedback mechanism, where we need to determine the relevant team and obtain their email addresses."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the automation interface and the RPA automation."

"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."

"Instead of manually triggering payments through the website, everything was done through robotic process automation (RPA), saving us a lot of time."

"Verint RPA gives our clients greater visibility into what's being done and how. It also lightens the load on the workers by automating tasks."

"Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere."

"Some automation features on some programs did not work smoothly."

"Microsoft shouldn't charge extra for the database license if you want to store the data in the database during the trial. We wanted to have a historical trend of the data, and we started with the trial version of the tool. The database license is not included with the trial version, and you have to purchase it separately. Because we had a budget constraint, we had to pull all the information manually from the system, massage it, and push it to the dashboard. About two months ago, we have upgraded to the full-fledged version in which the database is integrated. The database license should be there in the trial version, but they have totally decoupled it. They should have provided a bundle, at least for the trial version, so that once a person or a firm gets a sense of it, they can start building. It might be because they wanted to sell additional licenses or premium licenses, and that's why they have added it in the premium version. It should have more cognitive features. Automation Anywhere and UiPath are different because they have cognitive functionality plus intelligent automation. The cognitive functionality is currently not there in Microsoft Power Automate. It is just for workflow automation and basic bot-level tasks. It should have more cognitive features, which probably will be launched in a couple of years."

"Not suitable for connecting other applications like browsers and third party applications."

"Microsoft could offer more AI education and training."

"WinAutomation is scalable to a certain extent. I would rate it seven for the scalability, which could be better. Softomotive is better scalable than WinAutomation in this regard."

"I was working on it for around three days and then took a break of about two days. When I went back to it, all of the Excel, and all the Excel functions, just disappeared. Completely vanished. When I looked up the help, it said that sometimes that happens when you're not connected to the internet."

"From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"Verint RPA needs a more robust toolset to create complex UIs for workers. It's probably not just this product. Almost all automation solutions have similar limitations."

"When accompanying customers, we discuss the license requirements. Based on these requirements, we suggest whether a per-user plan or multiple platforms per-user plan would be best."

"It is free for us. It is embedded directly in the Office package."

"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."

"This solution is reasonably priced and offers a free trial period."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."

"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."

"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."

"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
