"It is easy to migrate from other tools to Power Automate."
"It is Microsoft. So, you get the integration capability."
"The solution has saved us hours of work."
"It servers our purposes in bringing together all types of applications, being able to automate them with the right intelligent output from the data that we plugin."
"The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"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."
"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."
"The stability is good. I did not encounter any issues with UiPath."
"UiPath is user-friendly."
"The only way you're able to show true value with an automation program is if you automate something end-to-end. UiPath does end-to-end automations and, among all the other tools that are available, UiPath is the leader in end-to-end automation."
"The UiPath community is helpful because you can ask questions and get tips from other people on best practices. Many of the problems have already been resolved by others so you can get advice from those people. You can also see how other people use the system."
"AI functionality enabled our clients to automate more processes overall. It helped with end-to-end automation in the way that if you automate more processes, you save more time, and save more money for the company."
"We used to have two shifts before acquiring UiPath. Now, we've reduced the human workforce for the night shift. 60% of the work we can assign to RPA."
"The steps, documentation, and information are pretty straightforward when it comes to the product, so there is no ambiguity."
"The feature that I like the most is the Document Understanding for extracting information from PDFs."
"While using this solution, we found it to be basic."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by adding more features to the free version it would be good because there are many features that you have to pay for. There are some functions that IT personnel, like myself, have a difficult time using and could be made more user-friendly."
"It is mostly integrated with the Microsoft environment. Unlike UiPath, we cannot really use external tools with Microsoft Power Automate. There should be a possibility to integrate it with external tools or systems."
"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."
"While Microsoft has a way of integrating well with itself and its own internal tools, it could do more to include external options and add them to the mix."
"They need to come up with a little more on AI and precision discovery path to be able to record the processes."
"We find the solution to be not that user-friendly, and might be using the older version, which really did not have a lot of features, so my review is mostly based on the older version."
"I feel that a Host Admin, being a master Admin, should be somehow able to login to different tenants."
"I'd like the solution to address how can I see more opportunities and capitalize on the improvement of any kind with an obvious focus on RPA."
"I would like it to better handle updates from other systems, whether it's SAP or a website. That's the thing that we struggle with. Anytime a system changes, we have to go in and modify the code."
"The built-in OCR is only 60% to 70% correct if you're analyzing a PDF that has images in it, so this is an area that can be improved."
"It took quite a bit of time to understand some of the document types. Some of the documents were already pre-built, but some of the documents were new, and it took us quite a bit of time to get it to train on those documents. If there was any variation, we had to re-train it. It took longer than expected."
"I would like to see improved support and cost management for advanced certification."
"UiPath needs to improve the selector and offer better integration for Python."
"In terms of performance, sometimes it slows down when the internet connectivity is poor. They need to optimize it a little."
