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.

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 process mining capability of the solution is valuable."

"The support is responsive and reliable."

"This product has an easy-to-use interface with nice detail in the features."

"The solution has saved us hours of work."

"The best feature of the tool is that it is generic, so it allows one to do as he wishes."

"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."

"The initial setup isn't too difficult."

"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."

"It's an intuitive product. It's not overly technical."

"Power Automate Desktop allowed me to quickly visually identify parts of a screen and record it. So I can see that I know I'm going to have to click this button here, this field there, and this tab here, and I can literally go and quickly just record all of them and identify them and have them in a list that I can see and say - there's my list of things."

Cons

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

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

"Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues."

"The solution lacks maturity."

"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."

"While working with big data, when we have structured data like logs, we have to work with an ETL tool before manipulating the data and creating the workflows and the forms. This can be improved. Big data support is something that I'd like to be covered a lot."

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

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

"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."

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

"They have the community edition that people can use for free, and they also have the enterprise edition. My company uses the enterprise edition, and I don't know how much they pay."

"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."

"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."

"Its license is a part of our enterprise agreement. It is a three-year contract, but we pay yearly. So, it is a yearly license. There are no additional costs."

"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."

"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."
