The product has good process mining capabilities, but it is very expensive

We are one of the three organizations across Europe and Africa that are certified implementers of FortressIQ. People who would like to use the solution must choose the right partner to implement. Some tweaking still needs to happen around the commercial model and the pricing structures. Even though the product is good, it's very difficult for customers to pay for it. It defeats the purpose if we have a good product but no one can afford to pay for it. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

No-code workflows have streamlined daily operations and support seamless cross-application automation

Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent. Automating a particular activity may not be so useful, but when you connect the whole workflow, then it starts helping a lot. I cannot say much about the best features in Microsoft Power Automate because I have not used it personally, but first of all, it is very easy, it is a low-code platform, and Microsoft has a lot of integration with Microsoft technologies, making it very easy to connect with MS Teams and different Microsoft products, including MS Azure. From that point of view, it provides a lot of connectivity options. From a cost point of view, Mendix is much more costly compared to Microsoft Power Platform, allowing us to develop applications very quickly.

Pros

"The support is responsive and reliable."

"The process mining capability of the solution is valuable."

"It's an intuitive product. It's not overly technical."

"It is a stable solution."

"Power Automate has allowed us to simplify the business process and improve operational efficiency."

"You can automate almost everything in your organization by simply dragging and dropping and selecting a few options, whether it's an Excel spreadsheet or other on-premise data."

"I think the most valuable thing about this product for me is that it is really quick and easy to use."

"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."

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

"The solution helps automate manual tasks and interacts with multiple applications."

Cons

"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."

"Another aspect that needs improvement is the domain definition."

"I would not recommend it for large-scale or for critical operations because it returns quite a lot of errors, not only automation errors, but also errors when liaising with other applications, so in some cases, those applications may not run properly, resulting in errors."

"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."

"The solution could offer more specific training. There should be more examples of what the functions can do and more instructions and explanations to the process."

"Sometimes, Microsoft changes the game rules, and the free tools are no longer free, which makes it too hard to explain to customers. It is a SaaS service, so the cost is calculated based on the execution hours. However, we don't know the background of this cost because we cannot touch the infrastructure. They can be more open to developers or customers about this. The infrastructure part must be open for the customers."

"Compared to other RPA solutions, there is a little bit of a feature gap."

"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."

"ProcessRobot does not support custom components, which is really bad because all of the other solutions do."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution is very expensive."

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

"I am not aware of the recent pricing model, but during the time that I was using this solution is was reasonable."

"Due to the pricing model, the solution is more convenient than any other tools."

"It costs us nothing because we use it on the built-in cost that is a part of our existing license for 365. To use it more extensively, there are different pricing models. Its licensing is complex. It is complex to evaluate the cost in advance. As a result, people don't use it because they don't know what overall cost they are going to incur. There are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. Its licensing model should be improved, and the pricing should be more visible and transparent."

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

"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."

"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."
