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."

"To me, what's most useful in WinAutomation by Softomotive is that it's quite intuitive, especially because most of the capabilities of the older WinAutomation remain. You also don't need to do or know hard coding, and this is another useful feature of the solution. I also like that WinAutomation by Softomotive integrates very well with Microsoft products, especially Microsoft Office, and this is great news because most companies use Microsoft Office. Having a very good integration with the Microsoft Office suite covers a lot of bases, and is one of the advantages of WinAutomation by Softomotive."

"Power Automate has allowed us to simplify the business process and improve operational efficiency."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very easy to use."

"The templates on offer are very good."

"It is a great solution for simple automation activities or simple automation of simple tasks."

"It comes as a part of the Microsoft suite, which makes it an easy sell."

"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."

"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software, and it is very easy to connect, authenticate, and automate our daily routine tasks."

Cons

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

"I would like more integration with other tools. It integrates well with Microsoft products, but there should be more integration with other platforms and tools, such as chatbots."

"There have been issues in which it has failed, and it remains a concern."

"It is challenging to scale the solution across multiple branches."

"It should be faster and more user-friendly."

"The tool must be more stable."

"The information is very generalized, and it could be extremely useful to have more specific information about how to use various features within the platform."

"All the services on the Microsoft platform are great. If we want to try something like with SharePoint or Azure or the 365 CRM, then we can't with the everyday community edition of the Microsoft Power Automate. It would be a good thing if there was some sort of trial period. Let's say you have 14 days. That way, can log into the loading screen with Power Automate, and get to utilize services like SharePoint, OneDrive, 365 CRM or etc. to see if they like them. It would be a good way for Microsoft to cross-sell or up-sell."

"Execution of workflows could be improved."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing fee for our customers."

"The free version is quite good."

"The pricing is reasonable and the western license is fantastic."

"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."

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

"The license cost could be better."

"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."

"I give the cost a three out of ten."
