Microsoft Power Automate vs OpenText Robotic Process Automation comparison

"To me, what's most useful in WinAutomation by Softomotive is that it's quite intuitive, especially because most of the capabilities of the older WinAutomation remain. You also don't need to do or know hard coding, and this is another useful feature of the solution. I also like that WinAutomation by Softomotive integrates very well with Microsoft products, especially Microsoft Office, and this is great news because most companies use Microsoft Office. Having a very good integration with the Microsoft Office suite covers a lot of bases, and is one of the advantages of WinAutomation by Softomotive."

"The interface is user-friendly."

"Microsoft Power Automate offers over 200 connectors that enhance the user experience."

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

"We have talked to Microsoft. We're a large company and we're talking to Microsoft on a regular basis. We have a partner we talk to when it comes to Automate. We are absolutely satisfied with technical support."

"The best feature is that it doesn't require any other connectivity."

"It makes work easier."

"Microsoft Power Automate has positively impacted my organization as it has saved a lot of time and effort."

"It lets us automate almost anything, even with the legacy tools. It is very easy for us now to automate with legacy tools, which used to be difficult earlier. We work with a lot of other automation tools from Micro Focus, such as Operation Orchestration, but these tools can only connect to the API. So, there was a gap when we wanted to automate older and legacy tools that didn't have any API to connect to. We can now also automate without any changes in the customer environment. We don't need to change anything in the way that the customer environment works."

"There have been issues in which it has failed, and it remains a concern."

"The solution lacks maturity."

"For countries in our region, it's not very well known."

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

"The technical support has room for improvement."

"I would like to see better data integration with different sources."

"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."

"There could be more communication with third-party cloud tools."

"It currently supports only on-premises deployments. They can include support for cloud deployments. It should provide us the ability to choose a robot for executing a workflow. We want to control which robot executes a certain workflow. Right now, it automatically chooses the robot that is going to execute our workflow. It should also provide the ability to get filters on the outputs of the steps. We have each workflow as a step, and each step has some output. We would like to have the functionality to execute some script or some logic on these outputs to format the tests directly on the variables."

"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."

"Currently, we are using the free license for testing. After everything is done, we'll buy the license."

"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."

"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."

"It depends and varies a lot according to the licensing terms. There is no cost to maintain if we have less than 10 forms. Microsoft only charges if there are more than 10 forms. So, most of the companies can survive without paying anything extra. It is included in the Office 365 licensing."

"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."

"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."

"The pricing model is very straightforward. You can have a one-year or three-year subscription. You pay for each robot that you want to use simultaneously. If you want, you can install 50 robots and get 50 licenses. If you want to use only one robot at a time, you just need one license. For each license, you pay around 10% or 15% to support. You pay for the license, and you pay a small percentage of the cost of the license for support. This is their licensing model, which is very easy to understand."
