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.

Useful dashboards, plenty of features, and initial setup simple
We previously worked with other solutions, such as Software AG for process monitoring. It was a good solution. All the products that we worked with have very good functionality. We are mostly working with QPR ProcessAnalyzer, but we may work again with the Software AG process analysis software. QPR ProcessAnalyzer is suited for the mid-scale market while Software AG servers mostly the higher-level market. All the products can work and can do the work for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that it is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it easily integrates with other Microsoft products, so it has multiple connectors. You can create solutions that connect to Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive."
"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."
"I like Power Automate because it is very easy to use for users who don't have IT knowledge."
"Technical support is available regionally and it's quite good."
"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."
"The product is very stable."
"It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use."
"Discovery and root cause analysis"
"I have found the most valuable features of QPR ProcessAnalyzer to be Process Discovery, KPIs, definition, and dashboarding. These are the main features we are working on."
 

Cons

"Compared to other RPA solutions, there is a little bit of a feature gap."
"The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing."
"We need a more powerful desktop option."
"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."
"When we scale up, we switch to another application."
"The licensing model could be improved to make it easier to understand and follow, as it is difficult to determine if the embedded license provides all functionalities or if additional licenses are needed."
"The issue lies more in how you learn the solution. The information is very generalized. It could be extremely useful to have more specific information about how to use various features within the platform."
"The solution is still maturing, and it's going to take time for that to happen."
"Communication with clients could be improved."
"The user interface of QPR ProcessAnalyzer could improve, it is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."
"Initially, we had a Microsoft account for Office 365. Later, we discovered that our license included access to Power Automate at no additional cost. There was a small fee for additional features, but it was negligible compared to the benefits. There are not any additional fees required to use the solution."
"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We've got a subscription package. We are on a monthly package of $40. We've got some discount because we're a big corporate client of Microsoft 365 and other solutions, but the standard price of the package that we use is $40. For the product, you don't have to pay anything extra. If you're using a partner, you need to pay for their coding, advice, and services, which is a separate cost. The majority of the features are available for free for anyone who is on Microsoft 365."
"The price is right. If you have Office 365 It's included."
"The pricing is reasonable and the western license is fantastic."
"The price of QPR ProcessAnalyzer is more competitive compared to other solutions."
