Aiwozo Automation Suite vs. Microsoft Power Automate

Aiwozo Automation Suite works best for simple, repeated tasks. For example, we use it for data entry, preparing reports, and moving files between systems it really saves a lot of time. It’s also good when the process is clear and doesn’t change much.But it’s not that great for things that need human decisions or keep changing often. If the logic or steps change every few days, then setting up the bot again becomes a bit of a headache.

I am using Power Automate in my organisation to automate workflows for updating SharePoint list data and sending emails, and for scheduling tasks and jobs, as well as for integrating with third-party apps such as SAP, Power Apps, and SQL for CRUD Operations.

• Aiwozo handles data entry really well. For example, it can pull data from Excel or emails and enter it into different systems automatically. It also checks the data for mistakes, so we don’t have to do that manually.
• It’s great for creating daily or weekly reports. Instead of collecting data from different sources ourselves, Aiwozo bots gather everything, prepare the report, and even send it to the team by email.

• Sending confirmation email to clients and user once the flow is triggered.
• Fetching or Dumping files from one location to another if the flow is triggered.
• Schedule flow helps to send alerts and triggers the flow at a specific interval of time to carry out the required task.
• Power Automate also be used to convert any file format to a specific file format and save it to the required location

• Sometimes scheduling bots or tracking their status isn’t very smooth. It would be nice if the dashboard gave more clear, real-time updates or alerts when a bot fails.
• Aiwozo works well with common apps, but integrating with some third-party tools still takes extra effort. Having more built-in connectors would make things easier.

• Steep learning curve.
• It can be slow to develop simple solutions compared to other automation platforms such as Smarsheet.
• Troubleshooting and developing can be frustrating without proper access to edit the code directly.
• Only able to edit through the GUI and with expressions.
• Many ways to do the same thing can be frustrating when you need to rework your flow.

The tool is very useful when used with its various native connectors, taking great advantage of the integration between the components and systems of the Office365 universe. However, its cost is still high, and automation using more advanced components containing AI resources becomes unfeasible for some companies. Due to the financial crisis that many companies are currently experiencing, investment in automation systems or tools is taking a back seat.

Even new team members can pick it up quickly with a bit of guidance. Most of the common automation tasks can be done without much coding, which really saves time. There are still a few small areas that could be improved, like smoother debugging or better error messages, but overall it’s a solid and reliable tool that makes automation easy.

Power Automate features a clean and intuitive user interface that allows users to create, manage, and monitor workflows easily. The UI is designed to be accessible to both technical and non-technical users, with drag-and-drop functionality for building workflows. Power Automate supports integration with a wide range of Microsoft and third-party applications. This flexibility in integration allows users to automate workflows across various systems, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency.

both Community support and Microsoft official support typically respond to (and resolve) reported issues in a VERY expedient manner, usually going above and beyond for education and bugfixing. I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of support I had been provided in the past.

after reviewing the main features of Power Automate, the Microsoft trainer focused on some of our real life use cases implementation, from simple to more advanced.

although it was productive, it is more difficult to stay focused and in a 7 hours a day online training (including screen share issues and the fact that the trainer just can't precisely show the exact location of your mistake)

I was part of the migration of classic SharePoint workflows and Nintex workflows. We didn't spend much time learning the new platform because of its user-friendly interface and intuitive drag-and-drop functionality. We have mostly O365 E1 and E3 licensed users, so they can participate in our Citizen Development program and utilize Power Automate to build day-to-day business processes.

Compared to AA, Aiwozo Automation Suite feels much simpler and quicker to get started with. The interface is really user-friendly, and you don’t need much coding to build bots, which is a big plus for our team. AA is powerful and works well for complex automation, but Aiwozo Automation Suite is easier for small to medium tasks and everyday processes.
Another reason we chose Aiwozo is that it integrates smoothly with the apps we already use, and setting up bots is pretty fast.

Microsoft Power Automate is worlds ahead of Zapier in so many ways. The looping, DOM access, and flow controls are much better. I feel that accessing different data within previous connectors used in a flow is much easier in Microsoft Power Automate as well. The custom connector creation process is a lot more pleasant in Microsoft Power Automate. The DateTime data type is handles MUCH better in Microsoft Power Automate, which is reason enough to use it.

• Aiwozo has definitely saved us a lot of time by cutting down manual work.
• It’s helped improve accuracy and speed in daily tasks.
• Overall, we’ve seen better productivity and quicker turnaround on many processes.

• You can automate a lot of process very easy like automatic mails for status updates and such. This will save a lot of time and is more accurate, faster and up-to-date than a user can be.
• Task approval is centralized and automatic reminders save us a lot of time.
• The ROI is good if you have a lot of use cases and things to automate
