Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster

Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

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 chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."

"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."

"Attended versus unattended automation in AutomationEdge has benefited my organization significantly."

"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."

"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."

"AutomationEdge has shown the most productive impact, and the productivity was excellent before, and now it can increase by 20 to 30% more with AI implementation."

"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."

More AutomationEdge pros

"This product is the best in terms of price and capabilities."

"The most valuable feature is that it easily integrates with other Microsoft products, so it has multiple connectors. You can create solutions that connect to Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive."

"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."

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

"We use Power Automate for applicant tracking and automated around 80 percent of the process."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the cost and ease of use, it's very simple."

"Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."

"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."

"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."

"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."

"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."

"When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."

"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."

More AutomationEdge cons

"The licensing model could be improved to make it easier to understand and follow, as it is difficult to determine if the embedded license provides all functionalities or if additional licenses are needed."

"Compared to other RPA solutions, there is a little bit of a feature gap."

"The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data."

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

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

"AI agents could be included in the next releases. Additionally, chatbots would be a great addition."

"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by offering recurring execution on the desktop."

"There should be a comprehensive or enterprise level of application to provide the cognitive AI, and there should be orchestration so that I can control all the robots on one station. The other tools are currently providing these features."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."

"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."

"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."

"The product is available at the lowest price."

"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."

"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."

"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."

"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."

"We are using the free version of Power Automate."

"Its licensing is flexible."

"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."

"When accompanying customers, we discuss the license requirements. Based on these requirements, we suggest whether a per-user plan or multiple platforms per-user plan would be best."

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

"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."
