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 initial setup was easy. It was very easy for people to pick up. The deployment took a few hours."
"The most valuable feature is the ability and ease of linking multiple connectors within the same flow."
"It helps with the feedback mechanism, where we need to determine the relevant team and obtain their email addresses."
"I use the product for automation."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the ease of use and the templates that are provided. I no longer need to make the document from scratch. I can search for what template I want and then it only requires me to modify it a bit for my needs. Additionally, it's helped improve my productivity and efficiency, and at the same time, it's quicker."
"The product is very stable."
"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software."
"Is it easy to build automation using UiPath in comparison, to, for example, Blue Prism or Power Automate."
"Our key focus is on eliminating time-consuming tasks and enhancing reliability, especially in repetitive processes, which is where automation has proven to be a significant asset."
"The product helps achieve efficiency that will create ROI and the training and support are very good."
"UiPath has improved our organization; the primary difference introduced by the application of the UiPath tool is the speed of processing and accuracy in the data processing."
"The cloud feature is valuable. Automation Hub and AI fabric are also good features."
"UiPath has a very good user interface, and the automation is a great feature. New users can easily understand UiPath."
"The most valuable feature that UiPath has is the ability to be able to use .NET functions."
"The solution is quick and easy to implement. It's fairly easy, and it means clients don't have to get IT involved."
"There should be more transparency when it comes to which features accompany the pricing, as there appear to be hidden features of which I am not aware."
"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."
"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."
"When it comes to cloud computing, there are many limitations when dealing with large amounts of data."
"Automatic selectors that allow me to select parts of a website could be more adaptable."
"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 solution lacks maturity."
"I think the language Microsoft Power Automate uses when you do expressions could be better. What they use is not a popular programming language. It would be better for Microsoft to find a more popular programming language, such as Python. It would take away the whole no-code aspect of the solution but you don't need to write that many lines of code to improve something in a process. Instead of no-code, they could be a low-code environment."
"Sometimes in their partner communication, they aren't consistent. This maybe is related to the fact they are growing as a company."
"UiPath should improve its licensing structure."
"The initial setup was very complex. We had the data, but we had to streamline it. You can build a robot in 30 minutes, but the robot needs to get the data correctly."
"I would like to see improved support and cost management for advanced certification."
"You can't write small snippets of code. If you want to do a single code snippet, this is not available by default."
"We have seen that UiPath doesn't have the capability to identify unknown pop-ups. This needs improvement."
"We ran into issues during the upgrade. It was not warned before."
"They should expand on workflow type items and take another step up from the long-running workflows to offer more visibility of business processes within Orchestrator."
