We performed a comparison between Ephesoft Transact and Microsoft Power Automate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the inject feature. With desktop injects, we're doing all these things and extracting these things. Its stable, scalable, and technical support is good."
"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."
"The solution is relatively easy to use and cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature is that it easily integrates with other Microsoft products, so it has multiple connectors. You can create solutions that connect to Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive."
"There is an exhaustive amount of templates that users have access to."
"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the cost and ease of use, it's very simple."
"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the automation interface and the RPA automation."
"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"It's not easy to train."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body. Due to this variation, sometimes the email service crashes, and emails aren't redirected to Ephesoft Transact. Ephesoft has provided us with new hotfixes. Whatever flaws we found in the 2019.2 version, they have already updated it in the new version, 20.1.05, and it's already released. Drawbacks like not capturing the handwritten fields are now sorted."
"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."
"I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot."
"I was working on it for around three days and then took a break of about two days. When I went back to it, all of the Excel, and all the Excel functions, just disappeared. Completely vanished. When I looked up the help, it said that sometimes that happens when you're not connected to the internet."
"Automatic selectors that allow me to select parts of a website could be more adaptable."
"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."
"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."
"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."
"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."
