Stable with good cross-integration between modules, but the training needs to be improved
We mainly use UiPath as our RPA platform. I have looked at several other solutions that include the bigger ones, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere. We have experience in developing bots in all three of these. It is difficult to move from UiPath to EdgeVerve when UiPath is so good at getting people in the door. They've got a great ecosystem and a great training model. Every other system is more challenging to use. To get an EdgeVerve license, for example, you need to have an NDA in place to use it. Blue Prism is even worse, although, with them, you just have to pay more money. By not democratizing the software and the way to utilize it, smaller companies like EdgeVerve and even Blue Prism, to a certain extent, have suffered in terms of growth. The three leaders at the top do a pretty good job. Outside of workflow, they do a pretty good job, and that's why the customers buy, so you have to be strong on those. As far as the tools are concerned, RPA is RPA, and everybody generally does it in the same way. What is probably going to start distinguishing between products is the use of AI. When AI really overtakes the selectors for RDA, robotic desktop automation, when you have to really rely on the backdrop of the DOM to get at the element, the use of AI and more efficient on-prem AI solutions is going to really make that a better experience. The on-premises distinction is important because there's latency when you hit the cloud. Ultimately, to me, the toolsets are all the same. Drag and drop, the ability to create custom activities in terms of creating your libraries, and that kind of thing, they're all there. This past year has been ridiculous in terms of how all of the tools have progressed. What they were a year ago versus what they are today, is a considerable and significant difference. For example, I have totally redesigned my solutions and architectures over the past year.

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

"EdgeVerve is a bit like Appian, where they have full suites that have a great deal of functionality."
"I would say that the cross-integration between different modules, such as between the OCR, RPA, and ML, is the most valuable feature."
"AI Builder is a good add-on."
"Very reasonably priced."
"Instead of manually triggering payments through the website, everything was done through robotic process automation (RPA), saving us a lot of time."
"I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up."
"It serves our purposes in bringing together all types of applications, being able to automate them with the right intelligent output from the data that we plug in."
"One of the most valuable features of Power Automate is its ability to extract text from a website."
"I see Power Automate as a quick-win solution for many enhancements that can be used in any organization."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"Better training and better accessibility of the tools are the things that need to be improved."
"Better training and better accessibility of the tools are the things that need to be improved."
"They should include a custom plugin feature so that we can add our custom connections."
"Looping can be a bit tricky."
"The connectors and the integration capability can be improved. Microsoft RPA is a growing platform, and it is not yet particularly mature."
"I haven't used it with AI language models, and I think it may be restricted to work very friendly with Copilot, which could lead to further developments with other AI models or tools, thus suggesting some work is pending to do."
"There are frequent version updates and that impacts different algorithms so we have to adjust our code."
"The solution could benefit from mirroring Oracle's use of videos and community forums to help users get acquainted with the product. It could use better online training and/or documentation."
"When we create a support ticket on the Microsoft platform, it takes a good amount of time in certain cases, especially when we get stuck, and at that time, Microsoft's response can be much slower."
"I would like to see better data integration with different sources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."
"I am not aware of the recent pricing model, but during the time that I was using this solution is was reasonable."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing two to three out of ten."
"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."
"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."
"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."
"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
