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

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier."
"The best part is the automated workflow, which is quite good and easy. It is just drag-and-drop. We are able to create workflows quite quickly. We are able to directly integrate the data that it generates with Power BI dashboards. Its integration is quite good with other Microsoft tools, such as Power BI. The visualization of the data has become helpful for us."
"It is easy to migrate from other tools to Power Automate."
"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."
"We use Power Automate for applicant tracking and automated around 80 percent of the process."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"The pricing of the solution is competitive, which is good for the Romanian market."
"Very reasonably priced."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."
"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."
"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format."
"While working with big data, when we have structured data like logs, we have to work with an ETL tool before manipulating the data and creating the workflows and the forms. This can be improved. Big data support is something that I'd like to be covered a lot."
"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."
"The solution could use some more advanced AI tools. It's one of the solution's only weaknesses."
"Their connector to Oracle or premium data sets that aren't Microsoft would often fail for me. The information given back about why it failed wasn't always robust to understand how to fix it and why it happened."
"I would recommend removing the AI Builder feature from the automatic document processing functionality. The tool can serve even better with free automatic document processing features, it shouldn’t only be available in the trial version."
"The solution could offer more specific training. There should be more examples of what the functions can do and more instructions and explanations to the process."
"More scripting capabilities could be included in Microsoft Power Automate."
"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."
"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."
"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is reasonably priced and offers a free trial period."
"You pay for use and if you want a premium connector or adapter, but a lot of things are available for free."
"It had by far the fairest licensing on the market. For the money, you got a very good value."
"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."
"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."
"It has a cost-effective pricing model compared to competitors."
"When accompanying customers, we discuss the license requirements. Based on these requirements, we suggest whether a per-user plan or multiple platforms per-user plan would be best."
"The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is fine."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
"The product has good pricing."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
