Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."The most valuable features of this solution are the cost and ease of use, it's very simple."
"It comes as a part of the Microsoft suite, which makes it an easy sell."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"It makes work easier."
"The best feature is that it doesn't require any other connectivity."
"We use Power Automate for applicant tracking and automated around 80 percent of the process."
"WinAutomation is very handy to use, and it has the power to interact with multiple systems, such as SAP, Oracle, or .NET systems."
"Instead of writing multiple lines of code, we can do it in a single statement."
"Keyword-driven automation has been beneficial in streamlining operations."
"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."
"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."
"One of the challenges is dealing with OCR text recognition."
"The stability of the product is not very good and can even fail with simple projects."
"During their merger, some key functions were eliminated which no longer allows it to run independently from the cloud as a standalone for other companies. For example, options to schedule and trigger have been removed. It would be nice to have these capabilities back. The flow and the connectivity between databases and so on is a bit complex as well."
"These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format."
"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."
"They can provide a deeper level of feedback about running processes. When I compare it to Blue Prism, the control room has slightly less information about the running processes and possible errors. I'm not a pro, so I am not entirely sure if this is a core feature of the product or if it is because of the way our partners have developed it or set it up."
"Support could be improved."
"When we call an API and there is an error, it doesn't tell you what the error is."
