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 RPA robotic process automation is a good feature; we can make a flow within a flow, and we just made a UI flow that runs every day and so far has been quite helpful."

"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."

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

"We have saved thousands of hours by automating tasks that would have been labor-intensive and error-prone if done manually."

"Overall, I would give Microsoft Power Automate a nine out of ten."

"It is a very useful product as compared to other products."

"It servers our purposes in bringing together all types of applications, being able to automate them with the right intelligent output from the data that we plugin."

"Power Automate Desktop allowed me to quickly visually identify parts of a screen and record it. So I can see that I know I'm going to have to click this button here, this field there, and this tab here, and I can literally go and quickly just record all of them and identify them and have them in a list that I can see and say - there's my list of things."

Cons

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

"The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data."

"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."

"Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere."

"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."

"I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot."

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

"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."

"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing fee for our customers."

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

"Power Automate is comparatively less costly than UiPath."

"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."

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

"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."

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

"We have it on our system. I don't really know if we need a separate license."

"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."
