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

"Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent."
"It servers our purposes in bringing together all types of applications, being able to automate them with the right intelligent output from the data that we plugin."
"The best features of Microsoft Power Automate are its ability to switch from one app to another without user interaction, so you can automate a task, take data from one source, process it, and then output it in another format or have it as an input for another app, and also to transform data and have that done with minimal human interaction."
"Power Automate Desktop allowed me to quickly visually identify parts of a screen and record it. So I can see that I know I'm going to have to click this button here, this field there, and this tab here, and I can literally go and quickly just record all of them and identify them and have them in a list that I can see and say - there's my list of things."
"The product provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools."
"It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use."
"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."
"In just in one click, we can see any documentation, etc., that we need. It makes it very easy to navigate."
"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 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."
"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"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."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"The price is good."
"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."
 

Cons

"Microsoft could offer more AI education and training."
"Microsoft Power Automate's basic activities are not strong."
"Not suitable for connecting other applications like browsers and third party applications."
"Enhancing Power Automate to work synchronously instead of asynchronously would eliminate the need for additional coding, saving time in project implementation."
"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."
"The speed of the application could be improved."
"The tool should improve its price."
"There are frequent version updates and that impacts different algorithms so we have to adjust our code."
"The solution could be more stable."
"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."
"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."
"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."
"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."
"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."
"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."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."
"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
"My company switched to a monthly payment for the WinAutomation by Softomotive license. I don't have the exact figure, but it roughly amounts to 500 Euros a year which isn't bad."
"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."
"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."
"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"There is zero licensing cost. It comes with our Microsoft Office subscription."
"This solution is reasonably priced and offers a free trial period."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
"The pricing is fine."
"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."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"The product has good pricing."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
