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."
"It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use."
"Triggering and scheduling were pretty good. There was no real commitment with WinAutomation because the licensing was very fair and you could trigger bots very easily."
"The solution has saved us hours of work."
"The product is very stable."
"The templates on offer are very good."
"The most valuable feature is that you can run multiple automations at the same time, in parallel."
"Its integration with the Office 365 ecosystem is most valuable. We use a lot of ready-to-use templates."
"Technical support is available regionally and it's quite good."
 

Cons

"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
"Microsoft Power Automate's basic activities are not strong."
"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."
"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."
"One of the challenges is dealing with OCR text recognition."
"There are frequent version updates and that impacts different algorithms so we have to adjust our code."
"When we scale up, we switch to another application."
"There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products."
"Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
"There are many different ways to license it."
"Initially, we had a Microsoft account for Office 365. Later, we discovered that our license included access to Power Automate at no additional cost. There was a small fee for additional features, but it was negligible compared to the benefits. There are not any additional fees required to use the solution."
"This solution is reasonably priced and offers a free trial period."
"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."
"The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."
"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."
"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."
