Featured Reviews

Guhan Eshwar - PeerSpot reviewer
Building tools with user-friendly interfaces abut needs integration improvements
An integration of Copilot options within Microsoft Power Apps would be useful. In UiPath apps, there is an autopilot function that uses a generative AI model, which creates layouts and connects data services automatically with a prompt. Such integration would be beneficial to build basic frameworks that can be enhanced. This would assist business process users who lack coding knowledge.
VikasKumar16 - PeerSpot reviewer
Has defined complex workflows and handled detailed automation scenarios efficiently
It requires extensive knowledge if somebody wants to work on SS&C Blue Prism, compared to other tools. The downside is you need to be very aware of the tool. You need to know how to write the workflow and have a detailed understanding of SS&C Blue Prism. It takes more time to learn compared to other tools in the market which are more user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very good. It's very full. You can do almost anything."
"I like the solution's ability to approve some tasks electronically."
"When compared with Microsoft Power Automate, it is a bit more mature, and we're able to build things pretty rapidly."
"I like how fast I can develop an application and put it in production with PowerApps. I think the integration is also excellent. The platforms is growing, so they are constantly adding more connectors on all these things."
"Ability to generate QR codes and scan barcodes."
"I would say that the most valuable features are the user interface, navigation, and business routes."
"Overall, I would rate Microsoft Power Apps nine out of ten."
"It's very easy to build an app using this solution."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."
"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
 

Cons

"If the price was reduced and the quality of the user interfaces was improved it would be beneficial."
"I would like to see a more intuitive merged experience for pro-coders."
"The controls are not available in the tool by default, so it needs to upgrade their controls, like gallery controls and some other controls, so that they can be made more usable."
"Improvements could include more templates for application development, especially those commonly used across different companies."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate Microsoft's customer service or technical support around a three. I find it's better to read forum posts than to call the support staff at Microsoft."
"Custom error management is also a challenge. Customization, including the ability to integrate custom code, would be valuable."
"A downside is that Power Apps is primarily designed to work within the Microsoft ecosystem. It’s unsuitable for publishing apps outside the network, so you need additional Microsoft technologies for broader use. While it’s very scalable for simple apps, it's not ideal for large-scale enterprise applications."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our enterprise contract with Microsoft Power Apps includes the application feature platform in our subscription package, so we are not incurring any extra expenses. All of our other subscriptions are also part of our license agreement."
"We use the Office 365 package, and Microsoft PowerApps is a part of the package. We don't pay any separate price for this. There are no additional costs. We just pay for the Office 365 package."
"Pricing for this solution is completely based on user requirement. If your requirement is simple or less complex, then the basic licensing model can work, e.g. the free model, or else, you need to go for the premium features or premium model."
"The enterprise-level costs a great deal of money, and you have to purchase additional licenses to scale it."
"It was about $40. There are people that are lower than that, however, they don't give you the features."
"The price of Microsoft PowerApps is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"My company has non-profit licensing, and hence, it is affordable. Pricing depends on usage."
"If we compare Microsoft Power Apps with any on-prem or other Azure solutions, I feel it can be made cheaper."
