Good for email routing and management features but additional costs for plug-ins
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. One of the main issues I've found is that Power Automate struggles with accessing Excel or other Office documents on servers. Even though it's a Microsoft product, we often have to log in through remote systems, and syncing can be problematic due to the way we use servers. At the very least, they should provide access to Office 365 directly, without requiring additional logins on servers. Most people utilizing Power Automate are already working within the Office 365 environment. Any proof of concepts (POCs) using Power Automate would naturally be built on top of Office 365.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is comparatively quick to deploy for making smaller automation processes."
"From my personal experience of using Microsoft Power Automate, I think that the automatic document processing feature is helpful for many organizations in streamlining administrative processes. It is a very good feature. It has helped many enterprises to process documents without spending much time on them."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"The sequencer programming mode's ease of use is its most valuable aspect. The ease of calling out the functions in a sequence, basically from the functional side, is great."
"The most valuable features are that it is low-code and simple."
"In just in one click, we can see any documentation, etc., that we need. It makes it very easy to navigate."
"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."
"It has the ability to create journey maps, and to connect journey maps to BTMM."
"The product helps us build solid business use cases."
"The initial setup was simple. One can know how exactly the process performs just by clicking a few buttons."
"Predominantly, it enables financial services organizations to build up process knowledge and improve operational efficiency."
"I like the tool's ability to visualize the entire process flow, how the process flow flows, and what deviations happen from the process flow. It also helps to figure out the process bottlenecks."
"One of the most valuable things about process intelligence is that it allows you to mine data over a long period of time, such as one or two years. This gives us a deep understanding of how your processes actually work."
"The backend is great."
"It's easy to set up."
 

Cons

"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."
"For countries in our region, it's not very well known."
"They need to come up with a little more on AI and precision discovery path to be able to record the processes."
"I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot."
"From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"Microsoft could offer more AI education and training."
"The solution could benefit from mirroring Oracle's use of videos and community forums to help users get acquainted with the product. It could use better online training and/or documentation."
"Technical support needs to be able to respond quickly to queries. Right now, they are much too slow."
"Interface could be more user friendly."
"There could be more standard interfaces for importing data from the various systems in the process landscape."
"The area that could be improved in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is its Journey modeling feature."
"SAP has to figure out a better way to price it. Their licensing structure isn't ideal as it's based on data; therefore, it's hard to estimate client costs."
"It should be able to convert business workflows into media documents quickly."
"The UI could be improved."
"I would like to see a better version of the solution."
"The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its licensing cost is comparatively less as compared to Automation Anywhere. We have bought a two-year license agreement."
"Microsoft is providing an automatic license with a cost of $20 million per month, which is reasonable."
"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
"This solution can save money when used for simple tasks specifically using only Microsoft products."
"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."
"Good price-quality relationship. Its features for its price were the best fit for our company."
"You pay for use and if you want a premium connector or adapter, but a lot of things are available for free."
"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The costs of the solution require transparency since sometimes it refers to the number of users and sometimes the amount of volume that is used"
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
