We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power Automate and WorkFusion based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It is basically free for me because it comes with my Office 365 subscription. The main feature is that there is abundant learning material on platforms like YouTube. You can find information about whatever you want to be done in Spanish or English without a problem. It is very easy to learn. Users can start using it on their own without any former training, which is something I like about this solution."
"We use Power Automate for applicant tracking and automated around 80 percent of the process."
"I like Power Automate because it is very easy to use for users who don't have IT knowledge."
"The solution is comparatively quick to deploy for making smaller automation processes."
"This product is the best in terms of price and capabilities."
"The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."
"Very reasonably priced."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the automation interface and the RPA automation."
"It takes care of simple tasks so users can focus more on exceptions than on regular use cases. They only focus on orders where they need to handle an exception, some information was not given, or there is an issue that they had to focus on. The rest of it goes straight through without human touch. We want to see our employees as engineers, wherein they think and solve problems, not necessarily have to do repetitive tasks. I think WorkFusion helps with avoiding repetitive tasks."
"The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature. When clients want to look at the data it's very easy for them to do so. The dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."
"OCR, document processing, is one of the main features of WorkFusion. It can analyze your documents very efficiently. The accuracy is close to 90 percent. It can analyze and extract data from any document to populate or update it in other sources, like Excel or Google Sheets."
"Their robots have increased the rate of efficiency by two to five times in our organization. There is still a human element to code out the package running the robots. You can't just click something and have it run. However, once that has been done, you can parallelize it 10 or 100 times in a fairly straightforward manner."
"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."
"The document processing engine is good. We're extracting around 70 data points from a given document, and we have an automated extraction rate of 80 percent for those fields."
"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."
"The solution is still maturing, and it's going to take time for that to happen."
"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."
"We need a more powerful desktop option."
"Looping can be a bit tricky."
"Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well."
"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."
"Compared to other RPA solutions, there is a little bit of a feature gap."
"These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format."
"On a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate them a 6. That's not low - that 60%. But as I said, it needs to be upgraded and modified."
"We have executed our robots thousands of times in our enterprise environment. However, in an enterprise environment, WorkFusion has performance problems. It is slow in production."
"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use. A good example of this is the use of Python code to perform automations. It is free and the skills transfer is able to happen quickly and the operation and initiation of the completed automation is easy to execute."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal. Part of this could be because of the use case that was selected. Overall, our experience was suboptimal. WorkFusion was an outstanding partner in terms of providing their experts for free to help us on that particular use case, but we still have a lot of things to figure out in terms of how to use its machine learning capability."
"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."
