The product has good process mining capabilities, but it is very expensive

We are one of the three organizations across Europe and Africa that are certified implementers of FortressIQ. People who would like to use the solution must choose the right partner to implement. Some tweaking still needs to happen around the commercial model and the pricing structures. Even though the product is good, it's very difficult for customers to pay for it. It defeats the purpose if we have a good product but no one can afford to pay for it. Overall, I rate the tool a seven 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 process mining capability of the solution is valuable."

"The support is responsive and reliable."

"Its ease of use is most valuable. A lot of the bulk functionality is done either through standalone or custom connectors and standard API processes."

"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 initial setup was easy. It was very easy for people to pick up. The deployment took a few hours."

"Power Automate has allowed us to simplify the business process and improve operational efficiency."

"Its complete integration with Microsoft tools and the inclusion of the CRM are the most valuable features. It is embedded directly in the Office package, so clients have direct access to it. It has a lot more functionality than other standalone solutions, such as UiPath or Blue Prism."

"The feature most useful for integrating different applications is its ability to create flows. Specifically, we use flows to integrate with finance and operations."

"We have saved thousands of hours by automating tasks that would have been labor-intensive and error-prone if done manually."

"It is basically free for me because it comes with my Office 365 subscription. The main feature is that there is abundant learning material on platforms like YouTube. You can find information about whatever you want to be done in Spanish or English without a problem. It is very easy to learn. Users can start using it on their own without any former training, which is something I like about this solution."

Cons

"The way the commercial model of the product is structured must be improved."

"Another aspect that needs improvement is the domain definition."

"The technical support has room for improvement."

"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."

"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."

"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."

"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."

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

"There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products."

"We find the solution to be not that user-friendly, and might be using the older version, which really did not have a lot of features, so my review is mostly based on the older version."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution is very expensive."

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

"This is a cost-effective product and now that it has been acquired by Microsoft, we don't expect the cost to increase with the next release."

"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."

"I am not aware of the recent pricing model, but during the time that I was using this solution is was reasonable."

"We have it on our system. I don't really know if we need a separate license."

"Its licensing is flexible."

"The pricing is reasonable and the western license is fantastic."

"The solution is free with Microsoft 365."
