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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The support is responsive and reliable."

"The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."

"The solution is pretty customizable. Even big automation tasks are done rather simply."

"The templates on offer are very good."

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

"The solution is comparatively quick to deploy for making smaller automation processes."

"It is fast to implement, does not depend on the changes to existing systems to implement, saves hours that a team spends on performing the process manually, and most importantly it is easy to train business users since users are very much familiar with the Microsoft and Windows interface (UI)."

"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."

"The most valuable thing about the product is that it is simple."

Cons

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

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

"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."

"They should include a custom plugin feature so that we can add our custom connections."

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

"There have been issues in which it has failed, and it remains a concern."

"I would recommend removing the AI Builder feature from the automatic document processing functionality. The tool can serve even better with free automatic document processing features, it shouldn’t only be available in the trial version."

"There are some bugs or intermittent behavior in the Excel activities that require using workarounds."

"We are looking to see more features implemented there are already available in UiPath or Automation Anywhere."

"The UI of the solution is not so good."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution is very expensive."

"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."

"You pay for use and if you want a premium connector or adapter, but a lot of things are available for free."

"There is flexibility in pricing."

"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."

"This is the cheapest option among competitors. You can choose to have the RPA with attendance at $40/month with add-on's totaling about $190. There are standalone options that require someone to run the process and there are fully automated options that are integrated within the cloud."

"The license cost could be better."

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

"The price is right. If you have Office 365 It's included."
