Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

It's easy to create Python libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases
We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation is the best feature of the product."
"This solution improved the reporting in our organization. The financial department was doing a lot of copy pasting from different sources to create financial reports. Through ProcessRobot, we were able to automate all those copy pasting and produce all those financial reports overnight."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The integrations that are built into Power Automate for those different Microsoft functions are good."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier."
"AI Builder is a good add-on."
"The technical support is good."
"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."
"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."
"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."
"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."
"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."
"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."
"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Power Automate's basic activities are not strong."
"It is challenging to scale the solution across multiple branches."
"I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"The stability of the product is not very good and can even fail with simple projects."
"I need to have more integration capabilities from this solution."
"When you try to create a flow or work on the flow in Microsoft Power Automate you cannot undo changes. There are no options to edit or, undo an action. This feature would be useful. The editing option within the flow can be enhanced."
"We are looking to see more features implemented there are already available in UiPath or Automation Anywhere."
"The platform's documentation could be better."
"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."
"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."
"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."
"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"This solution can save money when used for simple tasks specifically using only Microsoft products."
"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."
"We've got a subscription package. We are on a monthly package of $40. We've got some discount because we're a big corporate client of Microsoft 365 and other solutions, but the standard price of the package that we use is $40. For the product, you don't have to pay anything extra. If you're using a partner, you need to pay for their coding, advice, and services, which is a separate cost. The majority of the features are available for free for anyone who is on Microsoft 365."
"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"The pricing is fine."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"The product has good pricing."
