Microsoft Power Automate Reviews

The use cases include Power Apps and Power Automate. We have had use cases for scheduling meetings. We have also used it for HR onboarding solutions where document verification was done by using Power Apps and Power Automate.

I have sold both cloud-based and on-premises solutions.

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.

The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing.

I have been selling it for the past one and a half years.

It is stable.

I am definitely satisfied with their support.

Its initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to set up.

The number of people required depends on the size of the project. It depends on how big a project is and what is the use case. It could be just a two-member team, and it could also be a ten-member team. It depends on the number of use cases that have to be automated.

Its licensing is flexible.

Power Automate is doing really well. It is a good solution. I would recommend it, but it also depends on a client's requirement.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

I am the head of RPA solutions at my company where we implement this product for our customers. These are insurance companies that have legacy systems and prefer to keep their RPA off the cloud.

The product allows us to alleviate customer pain points by automating their data entry processes and enhancing archiving capabilities. We are able to minimize the delays of various claims and policies while improving data entry accuracy. We also offer them the ability to archive various communications to a variety of archiving portals such as SharePoint.

The program requires no code, making it very easy to implement various functions.

During their merger, some key functions were eliminated which no longer allows it to run independently from the cloud as a standalone for other companies. For example, options to schedule and trigger have been removed. It would be nice to have these capabilities back.

The flow and the connectivity between databases and so on is a bit complex as well.

We were using Softomotive for approximately three years until they were purchased by Microsoft where it was then merged under the umbrella of Microsoft Power Automate and we have been using this since - it has been about a year and a half since the merger. 

Overall, I would say that it is quite stable, but with the merger, we are not ready to move to the latest version until we can completely replace all of the old functions. I would say the product is 90% stable.

We require five team members to maintain the product and assist our clients.

The product is quite scalable. When considering extending more processes, features, machines, etc. it is a much cheaper and easier option.

We are still communicating with the Softomotive support team that we have been using prior to the merge and they are perfect. Microsoft is supportive as well.

Positive

The initial setup was straightforward and easy, especially in comparison with other RPA's such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere.

We are able to see high returns thanks to having few machines with minimal implementation costs. We are able to present our clients with their ROI upon completion of each project and they see ROI's as soon as their first month.

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.

We were trying some open source solution, but it was not really reliable so we did not continue with it.

The actions and functions are much easier than other competitors.

I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution.

Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow. In the next release, I would like InfoPath to be re-included.

Tech support is hit and miss.

The setup is complex - it's confusing for IT workers, let alone ordinary users.

Power Automate is a separate license, so make sure that if you implement it, you have the appropriate license for all the users who will use it. 

I would rate this solution as seven out of ten.

We have the latest version installed. 

I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up. 

There should be more transparency when it comes to which features accompany the pricing, as there appear to be hidden features of which I am not aware. 

There are factors we must consider when scaling up, such as whether we are using full or partial features. Were I to buy an additional premium, another license, I would lack clarity what I could expect to get in exchange or whether the features would help me to scale up. This is why better transparency is important. 

Scalability can be improved and this is why it is key to know how the features can be integrated into the scalable solution.

I've been using Microsoft Power Automate for the past six months or so.

The ability to know how the various features can be integrated into the solution would improve scalability. 

I have not had occasion to contact technical support, so I am not in a position to comment on it. 

Installation was pretty easy, as we handled it through our office, making use of our office license.

There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing. 

We are customers of Microsoft.

There are more than 100 users making use of the solution in our company. 

I would definitely recommend this product to others for its ease-of-use. 

I rate Microsoft Power Automate as an eight out of ten. 

I am new to RPA systems and I have recently received access to Azure where I am testing out the ProcessRobot solution.

I have found the scheduling and email notifications features to very good compared to other RPA tools I have used.

In an upcoming release, the exception handling mechanism could improve. The issue that we are facing is whenever there is a failure in any of the middle execution and if you wanted to navigate it to the end of the last line of execution, we do not have this feature available. If we had this feature it would make it even more stable.

I have been using this solution for approximately one and a half years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to be scalable. 

We have three people working with this solution in my organization.

The technical support has been good.

I have used previously Winautomation. When comparing the two solutions both are equally good.

The initial setup was in the middle range of difficulty. 

The price of the solution is reasonable.

My advice to others that want to implement this solution is that it has very good features and I have not had any issues.

I rate ProcessRobot by Softomotive an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our customers, to automate fields, for example.

The solution integrates well with Microsoft Office and other Microsoft solutions.

The solution offers pretty good automation capabilities.

The code of the product is very good. 

The initial setup was quite simple. We didn't have any trouble with the process.

The solution has been very stable so far.

Technical support is available regionally and it's quite good.

I need to have more integration capabilities from this solution. It's limiting us right now. Other solutions on the market are better in this regard. They need to step up and improve this aspect in future releases. 

The stability is good. We haven't really had any issues with the performance. I don't recall dealing with bugs or glitches. I don't recall it crashing or freezing. 

We've dealt with technical support in the past. We don't have local support, however, we do have access to regional support. It's good. I'd say that we are happy with the level of support on offer. 

We have experience in Microsoft Power Automate, however, we work with other solutions around the RPA - such as Micro Focus.

Overall, we found the solution to be very straightforward. It wasn't difficult or complex. In our case, it was easy. A company should have too much trouble handling the implementation process. 

We are partners with Microsoft.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're quite happy with the product right now.

I'm using it for internal purposes at the moment. We are a consulting company and we are exploring goals with the option of implementing automation for our clients.

Currently, I am assessing Microsoft Power Automate, comparing it with UiPath to see if it's good enough for our clients and for our purpose.

We plan to use this solution for getting information from one application to another, for producing sheets and text files for Power BI, and also for integration and displaying dashboards and business intelligence for the business. It will also be used for invoicing and notifications — mainly business processes in general.

Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use. It's very complete with a lot of activities available. It's intuitive and it seems very stable. 

I was using this solution when it was called Microsoft Flow. Currently, I've been evaluating it for the last two weeks. 

This solution is very stable. 

I can't comment on the scalability yet as I haven't tried to scale it yet. Still, I know it will be scalable because it's in the DNA of the project. 

I haven't had to contact technical support as of yet. 

The initial setup was very straightforward. It only took five to ten minutes to get it up and running. 

I installed this solution by myself. 

Microsoft Power Automate is expensive. The full license is quite expensive. 

I would absolutely recommend this solution to others. At this point in time, I would give it a rating of eight out of ten. 

We are using it to trigger web service calls and gather data. There are some companies in Turkey and Sweden that are using Power Automate.

It is a very useful solution. You don't need to create an infrastructure in your environment just for triggers or executions. You don't need to invest in the infrastructure. 

With Power Automate, we can call or trigger custom web services and routines. We are also using the flow for gathering data from Microsoft Dynamics.

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.

We have been using this solution for two years.

It is scalable.

Technical support depends on the type of partner agreement. We have a premium agreement with Microsoft, so there is no problem with support operations. For support for any Microsoft product, such as Dynamics, Azure, or Power Automate, we can easily talk to their support.

It is very easy to install. It took just one day.

I would rate Microsoft Power Automate a seven out of ten.
