No-code workflows have streamlined daily operations and support seamless cross-application automation
Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent. Automating a particular activity may not be so useful, but when you connect the whole workflow, then it starts helping a lot. I cannot say much about the best features in Microsoft Power Automate because I have not used it personally, but first of all, it is very easy, it is a low-code platform, and Microsoft has a lot of integration with Microsoft technologies, making it very easy to connect with MS Teams and different Microsoft products, including MS Azure. From that point of view, it provides a lot of connectivity options. From a cost point of view, Mendix is much more costly compared to Microsoft Power Platform, allowing us to develop applications very quickly.

Powerful tool, beneficial process mining variants, and scalable
The initial setup of Process Mining Group ProM was easy for me. However, I have been an application manager for quite some time and I am not comparable to the average person. I was able to install the solution within a few minutes. Additionally, we use the solution for summer school, we have to develop course material around it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools."
"I use the product for automation."
"The solution helps automate manual tasks and interacts with multiple applications."
"If you are looking for a low-code, simple to deal with email and extract a spreadsheet, then Microsoft is a good option."
"The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution."
"WinAutomation is very handy to use, and it has the power to interact with multiple systems, such as SAP, Oracle, or .NET systems."
"It's easy to learn."
"The connectors are a very good feature in this solution because they allow you to connect to multiple applications within the Microsoft environment."
"The most valuable feature of Process Mining Group ProM is the toolkit it provides all kinds of variants of process mining. They have one option that you can visualize which processes you mine, and that's a very powerful tool."
 

Cons

"Not suitable for connecting other applications like browsers and third party applications."
"One of the frustrating things is that you can't use a lot of connectors without having a premium license."
"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."
"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 is not yet stable. It is a new solution, and it is not completely stable."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The BPM component needs improvement."
"They can build more templates and more connectivity with other platforms. They can provide a more user-friendly way to connect with other platforms. They have their own in-built plugins for certain third-party vendors, but there are still a lot of third-party vendors that are not there."
"Process Mining Group ProM could improve user-friendliness and the error messages that are provided are not helpful for end users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is free for us. It is embedded directly in the Office package."
"Power Automate is comparatively less costly than UiPath."
"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
"Microsoft is providing an automatic license with a cost of $20 million per month, which is reasonable."
"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is free with Office 365 subscription."
"Process Mining Group ProM is an open-source solution that is free from the University of Eindhoven. Additionally, students can use it for one month after they have done some practicing with it."
