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

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."
"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."
"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."
"The most advantageous aspect of the solution is its cloud capabilities."
"The solution has saved us hours of work."
"Overall, I would give Microsoft Power Automate a nine out of ten."
"We have a good overview of our processes now thanks to Power Automate."
"I have found the scheduling and email notifications features to very good compared to other RPA tools I have used."
"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."
"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."
"We have saved thousands of hours by automating tasks that would have been labor-intensive and error-prone if done manually."
 

Cons

"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"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."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"Regarding stability and reliability, AutomationEdge is mid-range. When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"The solution could use some more advanced AI tools. It's one of the solution's only weaknesses."
"I've had some issues with the stability."
"I rate the technical support from Microsoft Power Automate a four out of five."
"Better support is needed for building custom components on top of ProcessRobot."
"There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products."
"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 expect Microsoft Power Automate to work like any other RPA software, but at present, it is fairly lax, especially in the RPA space. We have a very limited set of use cases today for Microsoft Power Automate. Microsoft should make it a full-featured RPA product like other solutions that we use, such as Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and UiPath. This is predominantly the area that they need to improve on. Microsoft Power Automate is quite complex to use as well, especially if you want to do advanced workflows or advanced automation. The regular simple workflows are quite easy and straightforward, but the moment you want to do something complex, it is almost impossible for one of our employees to work on it."
"There could be more communication with third-party cloud tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"Good price-quality relationship. Its features for its price were the best fit for our company."
"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."
"It is free for us. It is embedded directly in the Office package."
"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
