User interface streamlines task automation and improves efficiency
akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions. The ease of use stands out because the design of akaBot is very friendly. The best features that akaBot offers in my experience include the UI automation in the browser or in the Windows application. What I appreciate most about the UI automation in browsers or Windows applications is the auto-generate selector in a browser and Windows application. This feature makes a difference because it reduced most of the time developing the bot.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

Pros

"The cost is affordable, and it fits our requirements."
"akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions."
"Its integration with the Office 365 ecosystem is most valuable."
"I see Power Automate as a quick-win solution for many enhancements that can be used in any organization."
"It is a low-code platform, easy to use, and good for automating small tasks such as expense approvals and timesheet approvals."
"Third-party integrations with third-party applications are quite easy."
"Overall, it is a great service at the given price, it is very modern, and it integrates in a great way with pretty much anything, and it is also fast."
"Its usability is very valuable because it has a quite simple flow. It is very user-friendly. It provides you templates. I started learning with the help of Teams templates, and then I started providing them. It is always good to start with a template so that you understand how it works. Its branches are quite user-friendly. You can put expressions in it. It allows you to link and test the flow so that you can check whether everything is running properly. From a business standpoint, Power Automate is quite good for a non-tech person. It is not like Java, HTML, or C++, which are very developer-driven. Power Automate is a more business-oriented kind of tool."
"We jumped onto this solution because it's very reasonably priced."
"Power Automate is not complex and is very easy-to-use in deploying most development projects."
 

Cons

"If they can provide more intelligent automation, it would be beneficial."
"I used UiPath before akaBot, and I think UiPath has more features than akaBot."
"There are frequent version updates and that impacts different algorithms so we have to adjust our code."
"I have had some issues with stability where I received a surprising error message and still don't know why it happened."
"It would be great if you could integrate outside of Microsoft environments."
"Microsoft Power Automate is limited if we want to create a complex flow because we have to split the log into two flows."
"The solution is still maturing, and it's going to take time for that to happen."
"It can have customizations like enterprise solutions. In the approval section, there should be an option to reassign approval to some other employee."
"AI-enabled voice recognition features could be included in the product."
"I rate the technical support from Microsoft Power Automate a four out of five."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is right. If you have Office 365 It's included."
"This solution can save money when used for simple tasks specifically using only Microsoft products."
"It has a cost-effective pricing model compared to competitors."
"Comparatively, WinAutomation is cheaper than the other automation tools. When we purchased the license, it was around $50 or $60 per user most probably per month."
"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."
"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."
"The solution is free with Microsoft 365."
"Initially, we had a Microsoft account for Office 365. Later, we discovered that our license included access to Power Automate at no additional cost. There was a small fee for additional features, but it was negligible compared to the benefits. There are not any additional fees required to use the solution."
