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

"Automation is the best feature of the product."
"The initial setup was easy. It was very easy for people to pick up. The deployment took a few hours."
"I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Technical support is responsive."
"So far, the tech support has provided me with good enough support and knowledge."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."
"I find WinAutomation's linear approach to the code and function calling valuable."
"It is very easy to work on the way the ETL happens in ARIS Process Mining."
"The interface is simplified and easy to use."
"I have found Software AG ARIS Process Mining scalable."
"One feature I found really cool was the Conformance Engine."
"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."
 

Cons

"The BPM component needs improvement."
"It's not as user-friendly as a solution such as UiPath, which is really easy to use."
"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 tool should improve its price."
"There should be a comprehensive or enterprise level of application to provide the cognitive AI, and there should be orchestration so that I can control all the robots on one station. The other tools are currently providing these features."
"For countries in our region, it's not very well known."
"Power Automate could be improved by adding an internal fuzzy lookup or fuzzy match feature."
"Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well."
"There should be a single site for modeling and mining."
"The installation is straightforward, we didn't have any technical issues with installing. However, we needed support to complete the implementation."
"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."
"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."
"Customizing KPIs and building dashboards were not as intuitive as other similar tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."
"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."
"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."
"We have it on our system. I don't really know if we need a separate license."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing two to three 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."
"Microsoft is providing an automatic license with a cost of $20 million per month, which is reasonable."
"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."
"The pricing is based on licenses."
"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."
