Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

Microsoft Power Automate and ElectroNeek compete in the automation software category. Microsoft Power Automate seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive feature set and deeper integrations, especially for users within the Microsoft ecosystem, while ElectroNeek offers significant budget advantages for businesses focused on cost-effectiveness and scalability.

Features: Microsoft Power Automate provides robust integration capabilities, particularly with Office 365, a wide range of connectors, and a low-code platform that facilitates ease of use. ElectroNeek is valued for its unlimited bot deployment without additional licensing fees, a user-friendly interface, and efficient scalability, making it ideal for quick automation solutions.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Power Automate could improve documentation, enhance integration with non-Microsoft products, and offer better error handling and advanced AI tools. ElectroNeek needs to enhance its activity library for flexibility, improve remote desktop interactions, and browser compatibility, particularly with Microsoft Edge.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power Automate offers flexible deployment options across cloud and on-premises environments, supported by extensive documentation and a large community, although technical support experiences vary. ElectroNeek supports various deployment models, including hybrid environments, but offers limited technical support documentation and less favorable response times compared to Microsoft.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Power Automate presents competitive pricing, especially for organizations already using Microsoft products, offering an attractive balance of cost and functionality for extensive automation needs. ElectroNeek provides affordability with flexible yearly licensing and cost-effective scalability, delivering significant cost savings for simple automation tasks. Although Microsoft Power Automate is generally more expensive, it justifies the cost with its richer features and integrations for complex implementations.

Anabel Marco

Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Automates processes efficiently with cost-effective scaling and robust customer support

Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities. Another important feature for me is its compatibility with MBI, the Power that is ISEQUADO Centers. I appreciate the ability to scale and increase the number of bots or studios without additional expense. Automate's non-reliance on additional orchestrators makes it quite cost-effective.

Ishmael Munyai

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Developer at Apollo Studios

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users

It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

MohammedIdais

Senior Operations and Group Information Technology Manager at a computer software company with 201-500 employees

Facilitate informed decision-making through data analytics and efficient process automation

The most valuable feature for me is the process mining capability. It helps show the optimal way to utilize a process by discovering, validating, and improving the process automation. For example, when building a process from start to end, I may not be sure if it is efficient or optimized. This feature provides validation and improvement of the process using process mining. Additionally, it has amazing integration capabilities with multiple systems, directly working with the database.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."

"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

"This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training."

More Automate pros

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

More ElectroNeek pros

"Technical support is responsive."

"Its integration with SharePoint and Outlook is the most valuable. I found it very easy to use. I could do everything that I wanted very quickly, and I didn't have any complications at all. I never had a problem in using Microsoft Power Automate."

"The sequencer programming mode's ease of use is its most valuable aspect. The ease of calling out the functions in a sequence, basically from the functional side, is great."

"I have seen measurable benefits from Microsoft Power Automate as it saves a significant amount of time, and time saved translates to money."

"Workflow management is what clients select the most. It is very intuitive and pretty much drag-and-drop, so we can create escalation, decision flows, and if-else conditions pretty much by dragging and dropping boxes. Even someone who is not technical can develop a workflow for the business."

"The technical support is good."

"The email routing, consolidation of the reports, and management features are strong."

"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."

"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."

"The documentation is not that great."

"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."

"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."

More Automate cons

"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."

"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."

More ElectroNeek cons

"They should include a custom plugin feature so that we can add our custom connections."

"When comparing with Automation Anywhere, there are a couple of things that this product doesn't have. One of the major things is the key management system. It would be great if they improve this. Its documentation can also be improved."

"Execution of workflows could be improved."

"While Microsoft has a way of integrating well with itself and its own internal tools, it could do more to include external options and add them to the mix."

"While using this solution, we found it to be basic."

"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."

"Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere."

"Enhancing Power Automate to work synchronously instead of asynchronously would eliminate the need for additional coding, saving time in project implementation."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."

"The price of the solution is reasonable. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."

"Power Automate is comparatively less costly than UiPath."

"There is flexibility in pricing."

"We use Office 365 and this solution is free for me to use with the package we have. We have plans to increase the usage of Microsoft Power Automate."

"Comparatively, WinAutomation is cheaper than the other automation tools. When we purchased the license, it was around $50 or $60 per user most probably per month."

"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."
