Good for email routing and management features but additional costs for plug-ins
Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere. One of the main issues I've found is that Power Automate struggles with accessing Excel or other Office documents on servers. Even though it's a Microsoft product, we often have to log in through remote systems, and syncing can be problematic due to the way we use servers. At the very least, they should provide access to Office 365 directly, without requiring additional logins on servers. Most people utilizing Power Automate are already working within the Office 365 environment. Any proof of concepts (POCs) using Power Automate would naturally be built on top of Office 365.

Discovery and root cause analysis are key benefits; its own dashboard is a standout feature
I think the company has the technology for continued improvement of its communications, the one-on-one with clients. They have improved their software over time but there is still more to be done, particularly with the user interface. They could include numerous additional features but I'm not sure if we are in a position to utilize them. The solution could be more flexible and intuitive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Power Automate has allowed us to simplify the business process and improve operational efficiency."
"The integrations that are built into Power Automate for those different Microsoft functions are good."
"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."
"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."
"The most valuable features are that it is low-code and simple."
"From my personal experience of using Microsoft Power Automate, I think that the automatic document processing feature is helpful for many organizations in streamlining administrative processes. It is a very good feature. It has helped many enterprises to process documents without spending much time on them."
"Power Automate is not complex and is very easy-to-use in deploying most development projects."
"It helps with the feedback mechanism, where we need to determine the relevant team and obtain their email addresses."
"I have found the most valuable features of QPR ProcessAnalyzer to be Process Discovery, KPIs, definition, and dashboarding. These are the main features we are working on."
"Discovery and root cause analysis"
 

Cons

"I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot."
"The OCR functionality needs to be improved."
"Not suitable for connecting other applications like browsers and third party applications."
"When we scale up, we switch to another application."
"Microsoft Power Automate is limited if we want to create a complex flow because we have to split the log into two flows."
"The UI of the solution is not so good."
"Their OCR capabilities are not as evolved as the other tools."
"Its licensing model should be improved. The pricing should be more visible and transparent. When you consume services, there are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. It should also support visual process editing, which is a standard feature for BPMN 2.0 compliance. They should improve the visual designer."
"Communication with clients could be improved."
"The user interface of QPR ProcessAnalyzer could improve, it is not very intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not aware of the recent pricing model, but during the time that I was using this solution is was reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."
"It had by far the fairest licensing on the market. For the money, you got a very good value."
"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."
"Its licensing is flexible."
"Microsoft Power Automate is expensive. The full license is quite expensive."
"The price of QPR ProcessAnalyzer is more competitive compared to other solutions."
