Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

Microsoft Power Automate and ElectroNeek compete in the automation software category. Microsoft Power Automate seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive feature set and deeper integrations, especially for users within the Microsoft ecosystem, while ElectroNeek offers significant budget advantages for businesses focused on cost-effectiveness and scalability.

Features: Microsoft Power Automate provides robust integration capabilities, particularly with Office 365, a wide range of connectors, and a low-code platform that facilitates ease of use. ElectroNeek is valued for its unlimited bot deployment without additional licensing fees, a user-friendly interface, and efficient scalability, making it ideal for quick automation solutions.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Power Automate could improve documentation, enhance integration with non-Microsoft products, and offer better error handling and advanced AI tools. ElectroNeek needs to enhance its activity library for flexibility, improve remote desktop interactions, and browser compatibility, particularly with Microsoft Edge.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power Automate offers flexible deployment options across cloud and on-premises environments, supported by extensive documentation and a large community, although technical support experiences vary. ElectroNeek supports various deployment models, including hybrid environments, but offers limited technical support documentation and less favorable response times compared to Microsoft.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Power Automate presents competitive pricing, especially for organizations already using Microsoft products, offering an attractive balance of cost and functionality for extensive automation needs. ElectroNeek provides affordability with flexible yearly licensing and cost-effective scalability, delivering significant cost savings for simple automation tasks. Although Microsoft Power Automate is generally more expensive, it justifies the cost with its richer features and integrations for complex implementations.

Anabel Marco

Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Can automate several processes with only one bot and is easy to implement, administer, and use

We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly. We can automate several processes with only one bot, so it's much cheaper than other products where you need to buy additional licenses. We need a good value for our automation. The other solutions might be more robust, but Automate is perfect for us because we're not a large enterprise.

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Developer at Apollo Studios

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users

It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

Senior Operations and Group Information Technology Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees

Facilitate informed decision-making through data analytics and efficient process automation

The most valuable feature for me is the process mining capability. It helps show the optimal way to utilize a process by discovering, validating, and improving the process automation. For example, when building a process from start to end, I may not be sure if it is efficient or optimized. This feature provides validation and improvement of the process using process mining. Additionally, it has amazing integration capabilities with multiple systems, directly working with the database.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities."

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

"We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly."

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."

"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

More Automate pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The drag and drop feature, which is no code, is very useful for me because I am not a technical person. It is very user-friendly."

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

More ElectroNeek pros

"The solution is very easy to use. It's a code three platform that works very easily with documents to create custom automations."

"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."

"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."

"Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."

"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."

"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."

"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."

"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

More Automate cons

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

More ElectroNeek cons

"More scripting capabilities could be included in Microsoft Power Automate."

"The technical support has room for improvement."

"While Microsoft has a way of integrating well with itself and its own internal tools, it could do more to include external options and add them to the mix."

"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."

"It should work better for Angular websites, as it has a lot of problems."

"There should be a comprehensive or enterprise level of application to provide the cognitive AI, and there should be orchestration so that I can control all the robots on one station. The other tools are currently providing these features."

"It's not as user-friendly as a solution such as UiPath, which is really easy to use."

"They can provide a deeper level of feedback about running processes. When I compare it to Blue Prism, the control room has slightly less information about the running processes and possible errors. I'm not a pro, so I am not entirely sure if this is a core feature of the product or if it is because of the way our partners have developed it or set it up."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"Microsoft Power Automate is expensive. The full license is quite expensive."

"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."

"They have the community edition that people can use for free, and they also have the enterprise edition. My company uses the enterprise edition, and I don't know how much they pay."

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

"Good price-quality relationship. Its features for its price were the best fit for our company."

"The free version is quite good."

"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 is a cost-effective RPA solution."
