Scraping the websites is easy and easy to integrate with other databases but lacks custom activities
We use it to scrape websites. We scrape the updates and provide the details as a database to the user. We use AssistEdge to process and compare data on websites. Then, there is a process automation use case It makes scraping easy and is competitive compared to other tools. It's easy to use. So, I…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"The templates on offer are very good."
"In just in one click, we can see any documentation, etc., that we need. It makes it very easy to navigate."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The best feature of the tool is that it is generic, so it allows one to do as he wishes."
"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."
"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."
"You can automate almost everything in your organization by simply dragging and dropping and selecting a few options, whether it's an Excel spreadsheet or other on-premise data."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the automation interface and the RPA automation."
 

Cons

"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"Microsoft could offer more AI education and training."
"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."
"We expect Microsoft Power Automate to work like any other RPA software, but at present, it is fairly lax, especially in the RPA space. We have a very limited set of use cases today for Microsoft Power Automate. Microsoft should make it a full-featured RPA product like other solutions that we use, such as Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and UiPath. This is predominantly the area that they need to improve on. Microsoft Power Automate is quite complex to use as well, especially if you want to do advanced workflows or advanced automation. The regular simple workflows are quite easy and straightforward, but the moment you want to do something complex, it is almost impossible for one of our employees to work on it."
"There are two versions of the automation suite. You've got your cloud functionality, and you have got your on-premises functionality for legacy systems. There are a lot of functionalities between the two systems that don't cross-correlate with each other. A lot of the functionality in the cloud system is not there on the production side in the on-prem system. If they could implement some of the similar functionalities and streamline them for integration, it would be a lot easier. There should be seamless integration between the two systems."
"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."
"It's not as user-friendly as a solution such as UiPath, which is really easy to use."
"The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing."
"Automatic selectors that allow me to select parts of a website could be more adaptable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
"Microsoft is providing an automatic license with a cost of $20 million per month, which is reasonable."
"When accompanying customers, we discuss the license requirements. Based on these requirements, we suggest whether a per-user plan or multiple platforms per-user plan would be best."
"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."
"The license cost could be better."
"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."
"Comparatively, WinAutomation is cheaper than the other automation tools. When we purchased the license, it was around $50 or $60 per user most probably per month."
"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."
"Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."
