Ayobami Shobaloju - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Gopinath Bandekar - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable cloud-based solution that allows optimization in addition to process discovery and analysis
When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design. It is very limited because of the transactional data. It seamlessly creates the BPML as well, but it would be easier if the other model, the EPC, were also created simultaneously.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find WinAutomation's linear approach to the code and function calling valuable."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are user-friendliness and low coding functionality."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. A lot of the bulk functionality is done either through standalone or custom connectors and standard API processes."
"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."
"Its complete integration with Microsoft tools and the inclusion of the CRM are the most valuable features. It is embedded directly in the Office package, so clients have direct access to it. It has a lot more functionality than other standalone solutions, such as UiPath or Blue Prism."
"It is a great solution for simple automation activities or simple automation of simple tasks. It is also integrated with Office 365. Integration is an absolute breeze with any RPA software."
"You can create a flow, and it can be shared across different environments."
"The interface is simplified and easy to use."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...On a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the setup a nine."
"I have found Software AG ARIS Process Mining scalable."
"One feature I found really cool was the Conformance Engine."
"It is very easy to work on the way the ETL happens in ARIS Process Mining."
 

Cons

"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."
"Power Automate could be improved by adding an internal fuzzy lookup or fuzzy match feature."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
"The tool should improve its price."
"The solution could benefit from mirroring Oracle's use of videos and community forums to help users get acquainted with the product. It could use better online training and/or documentation."
"The solution lacks maturity."
"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."
"The licensing model is difficult to understand and is something that should be improved."
"I guess we have many unnecessary steps within our processes. There is room for automation and room for enhancement within our application portfolio management...In short, I would like to eliminate unnecessary steps in some processes in this solution."
"When the process models are transferred back to the design environment for further optimization and simulations, we need to see some improvements in the way the models get created in the design."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."
"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."
"Due to the pricing model, the solution is more convenient than any other tools."
"There is flexibility in pricing."
"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."
"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."
"Looking at the value it gives, ARIS Process Mining's pricing is fair."
"It's highly-priced, so it's not exactly a cheap product...We are getting what we are paying for, so on a scale of one to ten, or one is low, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"We pay for a license to use this solution."
"The pricing is based on licenses."
