A scalable solution which is easy to install and use

I do not use the solution personally as I am not the end-user. It is merely one of the solutions that we offer to our customers. We act as consultants, solution providers. We have around 60 customers who are using the solution. I would, for sure, recommend the solution to others. I consider the profile of the project to be quite good at the moment. I rate Another Monday as a nine 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 initial setup is very quick."

"The templates on offer are very good."

"WinAutomation is very handy to use, and it has the power to interact with multiple systems, such as SAP, Oracle, or .NET systems."

"It is Microsoft. So, you get the integration capability."

"Technical support is responsive."

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

"Workflow management is what clients select the most. It is very intuitive and pretty much drag-and-drop, so we can create escalation, decision flows, and if-else conditions pretty much by dragging and dropping boxes. Even someone who is not technical can develop a workflow for the business."

"You can create a flow, and it can be shared across different environments."

Cons

"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."

"It would be great if you could integrate outside of Microsoft environments."

"One of the challenges is dealing with OCR text recognition."

"The BPM component needs improvement."

"This solution should be more resilient, with robots more capable of recovering after an error."

"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."

"I would like to have a user account so that the staff can see all of their requests, including the status and other details for each one, on the dashboard."

"These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format."

"Automatic selectors that allow me to select parts of a website could be more adaptable."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing fee for our customers."

"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."

"I believe one of the advantages of this device is its low cost."

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

"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 product and now that it has been acquired by Microsoft, we don't expect the cost to increase with the next release."

"It has a cost-effective pricing model compared to competitors."

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

"The solution is free with Microsoft 365."
