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 solution is very easy to use."

"Power Automate is good for automation."

"We saw a significant return on investment because we were able to save a lot of time from our financial and human resources staff, so this saves a lot of money and the return on investment on that 1,000 euros is quickly felt."

"Good core applications."

"It is easy to migrate from other tools to Power Automate."

"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."

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

"The most valuable features of this solution are the cost and ease of use, it's very simple, and they have many, easy-to-use features."

"I think the most valuable thing about this product for me is that it is really quick and easy to use."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

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

"The thing which needs the most improvement is really just their documentation; it should have better details of the processes and more depth with additional details and examples."

"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."

"Technical support needs to be able to respond quickly to queries. Right now, they are much too slow."

"These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format."

"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."

"WinAutomation is scalable to a certain extent. I would rate it seven for the scalability, which could be better. Softomotive is better scalable than WinAutomation in this regard."

"The solution could offer more specific training. There should be more examples of what the functions can do and more instructions and explanations to the process."

"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."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing fee for our customers."

"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."

"Power Automate is comparatively less costly than UiPath."

"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."

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

"This solution is reasonably priced and offers a free trial period."

"Its licensing cost is comparatively less as compared to Automation Anywhere. We have bought a two-year license agreement."

"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."

"We use Office 365 and this solution is free for me to use with the package we have. We have plans to increase the usage of Microsoft Power Automate."
