"It is a very useful solution. You don't need to create an infrastructure in your environment just for triggers or executions. You don't need to invest in the infrastructure. With Power Automate, we can call or trigger custom web services and routines. We are also using the flow for gathering data from Microsoft Dynamics."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The product provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools."
"Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's a code three platform that works very easily with documents to create custom automations."
"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."
"The pricing of the solution is competitive, which is good for the Romanian market."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The highest benefit of it is that it's just there, ready to use, and you don't need to start from a blank screen."
"Scraping with UiPath is easy, as is integration with some services. It's also easy to deploy solutions."
"We use UiPath for web scraping. We extract data from websites, store them in boxes, and analyze them later."
"We did not have to do a lot of customization because the standard UiPath activities fit our needs."
"The solution has helped our organization save costs. It’s likely saved us about $10 million."
"Robotic process automation is one of the most interesting features."
"The solution's AI technology and machine learning models are the biggest contributor to saving time."
"Being able to customize this is extremely helpful for us because we have other attended automation processes, and they can each be tailored to the needs of the business."
"Their connector to Oracle or premium data sets that aren't Microsoft would often fail for me. The information given back about why it failed wasn't always robust to understand how to fix it and why it happened."
"Their OCR capabilities are not as evolved as the other tools."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
"The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing."
"Automatic selectors that allow me to select parts of a website could be more adaptable."
"I would like to have a user account so that the staff can see all of their requests, including the status and other details for each one, on the dashboard."
"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."
"Not suitable for connecting other applications like browsers and third party applications."
"For a few of the projects, we have saved money, however, on a few of these projects we've noticed less revenue. The orchestration cost is a bit higher when we are working on smaller projects."
"The licensing process is complicated and needs to be improved."
"With all the different tools that they have in their arsenal, sometimes it's hard to know how we can get the most out of them."
"I'm trying not to sound negative about it as I like them a lot, however, the process mining and the process mining features stem further away from the development of the robots and the monitoring. The development, run, and monitoring are really closely knit, or really close together, and then process discovery is starting to get there. It's on its way, however, I don't see that it's as closely connected as the other three parts."
"The high cost of UiPath licensing significantly reduces the value we get from the solution."
"I would like to see more support for the cloud in Australia."
"Improvement should definitely be made in the area of screen capture, where Adobe Flash is still being used."
"Some features are limited for Orchestrator. For example, the AI features could be more flexible and easily accessible. Every time I want to use some new features, we have to do a deep dive into this technology."
