The summary above is based on over 100 recent interviews with UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our comparison report.
"The program requires no code making it very easy to implement various functions."
"Triggering and scheduling were pretty good. There was no real commitment with WinAutomation because the licensing was very fair and you could trigger bots very easily."
"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."
"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."
"It is a stable solution."
"The pricing of the solution is competitive, which is good for the Romanian market."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."
"It's easy to build automations in UiPath. It has a simple drag-and-drop interface."
"We did not have to do a lot of customization because the standard UiPath activities fit our needs."
"In addition to savings in time and cost, UiPath further saves us money because of the reduction in human error."
"The client is eliminating human errors as they are eliminating some of the accrual processes from SAP, where a lot of mistakes can be made. If the bot is not making mistakes, then they are eliminating errors by 100 percent, but this depends on whether the bot is efficient or error-free."
"UiPath has reduced human error by 20%."
"We have saved steps and time from people doing their jobs because they're not doing all this crazy validation anymore."
"The number-one valuable feature is the ease of use. I come from a development background where I wrote a lot of code. The fact that you have these activities with pre-built functionality is great. You can drag them in and use them as shortcuts to get to an end result faster than if you had to do it in a programming language."
"It is easy to use because we receive support from UiPath. Also, the product is easy to train people on and get people using it. You don't need a technical background to learn it."
"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."
"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."
"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."
"For countries in our region, it's not very well known."
"Sometimes there are issues with security policies within the company. Some parts get blacked. There are some drawbacks when we use it connected to the cloud. We need to convince clients to open some parts. This is often an issue that originates from the company itself, not Power Automate."
"They need to come up with a little more on AI and precision discovery path to be able to record the processes."
"Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well."
"If someone was just about to start using it, it would be better if it was a bit more user-friendly in terms of understanding function references. I come from a bit of development background. To me, it all makes quite a lot of sense, but someone using it for the first time would probably battle understanding how the functions work. This might be something they could improve on. It would be really useful if it could publish data to Power BI. We like to use Power BI for our reporting, but we can't directly integrate the data across. If there was a way to automate the collection of the data and push it straight into the Power BI platform, it would be quite useful."
"Many of the features that UiPath has are good, although better documentation is required for them."
"We used AI to predict the data modeling and report structure, but it wasn't accurate all the time. It's an evolving functionality, and I hope that it gets corrected over the course of time. The basic functionality is on par with any other software in the market, but it's not helpful for simplifying complex workflows and modules."
"I would like to see more machine learning features and capabilities for more accurate OCR."
"Some of the APA integrations are complicated and have room for improvement."
"Its price is high compared to many other tools. When we go for any additional capability, everything comes at additional pricing. As a package, they can provide something that helps with scalability in terms of bot addition."
"Some of our employees also use MacBook devices for their daily work, mostly for high-graphic projects. UiPath doesn't have a complex set of features for OS X systems. If they could add more complex features for MacBooks, that would be good."
"Capturing ROI needs improvement. I would also like for it to have more logging mechanisms in Orchestrator."
"It could be a little more aesthetically pleasing."
