Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software.""Different trigger events were most valuable. You could schedule a process on a recurring basis, at a certain time of day or week, or when something happens, which is huge.""The email routing, consolidation of the reports, and management features are strong.""The pricing of the solution is competitive, which is good for the Romanian market.""The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes.""It's easy to learn.""The whole platform seamlessly integrates well.""The product is very reliable and very easy to use."

More Microsoft Power Automate Pros →

"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism.""This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems.""The most valuable feature is the robotic process.""Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low.""You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it.""The solution is scalable.""The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server.""The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

Cons
"More scripting capabilities could be included in Microsoft Power Automate.""The tool should improve its price.""I would like to see better data integration with different sources.""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.""The UI of the solution is not so good.""From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere.""The BPM component needs improvement.""These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format."

More Microsoft Power Automate Cons →

"The solution could use some AI integrated features.""Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly.""Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath.""RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind.""The interface could be better from a usability standpoint.""It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are.""The process discovery could be a bit better.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."
  • "You pay for use and if you want a premium connector or adapter, but a lot of things are available for free."
  • "Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."
  • "This solution is reasonably priced and offers a free trial period."
  • "There are many different ways to license it."
  • "There is flexibility in pricing."
  • "This solution can save money when used for simple tasks specifically using only Microsoft products."
  • "There is zero licensing cost. It comes with our Microsoft Office subscription."
  • More Microsoft Power Automate Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."
  • "Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
  • "I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."
  • "Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."
  • "Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
  • "There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
  • "Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
  • "I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
