Microsoft Power Automate vs Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation comparison

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

"It is very easy to learn and use. It is quite useful for any sort of back-office work. Any kind of work with low and medium complexity is very doable in ProcessRobot. For higher complexity, some refinement is required, but it is doable."

"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."

"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."

"This product is a really easy-to-use solution for quickly developing prototypes."

"It is a low-code platform. It is easy to use and good for automating small tasks such as expense approvals, timesheet approvals, etc."

"It has a gamut of things. Power Automate is easy to configure. It is more for a citizen developer. It is low code/no code. It is one of the easiest tools when it comes to configuration. By default, we have a lot of Microsoft products on our laptops or desktops. So, it is very easy to configure the remaining products."

"Technical support is responsive."

"The automation features of Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation have assisted us to deliver quickly, especially if you have captured everything on ARIS, then you just need to run a report, and some of the elements are automated."

"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."

"When compared to other workflow automation tools out there, it's just not as mature."

"The BPM component needs improvement."

"The speed of the application could be improved."

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

"I had some experience in the past with the solution having some difficulties with large loads, it is already better but it could still be improved."

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

"There could be more communication with third-party cloud tools."

"Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI."

"It is free with Office 365 subscription."

"My company switched to a monthly payment for the WinAutomation by Softomotive license. I don't have the exact figure, but it roughly amounts to 500 Euros a year which isn't bad."

"The license cost could be better."

"It had by far the fairest licensing on the market. For the money, you got a very good value."

"At the moment, from our experience with the two, Power Automate is a lot more expensive solution than Automation Anywhere, but it is also a far more reliable solution. With the price increases and with the current pandemic situation going on worldwide, a lot of the prices have fluctuated, but the packages and the all-encompassing features you get with the Microsoft package far outweigh the benefits from the Automation Anywhere side. Each package on the Automation Anywhere side is cheaper, but we need to continuously purchase subsequent packages to continue with our automation to the extent that we require. So, the Power Automate solution is a bit more pricey, but it does offer us a far better range of capabilities."

"Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."

"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."

"There is zero licensing cost. It comes with our Microsoft Office subscription."
