No-code workflows have streamlined daily operations and support seamless cross-application automation
Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent. Automating a particular activity may not be so useful, but when you connect the whole workflow, then it starts helping a lot. I cannot say much about the best features in Microsoft Power Automate because I have not used it personally, but first of all, it is very easy, it is a low-code platform, and Microsoft has a lot of integration with Microsoft technologies, making it very easy to connect with MS Teams and different Microsoft products, including MS Azure. From that point of view, it provides a lot of connectivity options. From a cost point of view, Mendix is much more costly compared to Microsoft Power Platform, allowing us to develop applications very quickly.

Powerful tool, beneficial process mining variants, and scalable
The initial setup of Process Mining Group ProM was easy for me. However, I have been an application manager for quite some time and I am not comparable to the average person. I was able to install the solution within a few minutes. Additionally, we use the solution for summer school, we have to develop course material around it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very simple."
"I use the product for automation."
"It helps with the feedback mechanism, where we need to determine the relevant team and obtain their email addresses."
"Third-party integrations with third-party applications are quite easy."
"Triggering and scheduling were pretty good. There was no real commitment with WinAutomation because the licensing was very fair and you could trigger bots very easily."
"The solution is comparatively quick to deploy for making smaller automation processes."
"It is basically free for me because it comes with my Office 365 subscription."
"It is easy to migrate from other tools to Power Automate."
"The most valuable feature of Process Mining Group ProM is the toolkit it provides all kinds of variants of process mining. They have one option that you can visualize which processes you mine, and that's a very powerful tool."
 

Cons

"The tool should improve its price."
"It is challenging to scale the solution across multiple branches."
"There should be a comprehensive or enterprise level of application to provide the cognitive AI, and there should be orchestration so that I can control all the robots on one station. The other tools are currently providing these features."
"The thing which needs the most improvement is really just their documentation; it should have better details of the processes and more depth with additional details and examples."
"The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data."
"There needs to be more support documentation and videos that could be more helpful. However, having experience with coding is essential to fully utilize Power Automate."
"There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products."
"The OCR functionality needs to be improved."
"Process Mining Group ProM could improve user-friendliness and the error messages that are provided are not helpful for end users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a cost-effective product and now that it has been acquired by Microsoft, we don't expect the cost to increase with the next release."
"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."
"The pricing is reasonable and the western license is fantastic."
"You pay for use and if you want a premium connector or adapter, but a lot of things are available for free."
"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."
"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."
"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Process Mining Group ProM is an open-source solution that is free from the University of Eindhoven. Additionally, students can use it for one month after they have done some practicing with it."
