Microsoft Power Automate vs. ServiceNow App Engine

We replaced all the classic SharePoint and Nintex-based workflows with Power Automate. This saved extra licensing costs and getaways from managing legacy workflows. Power Automate Designer is very user-friendly and requires no additional learning curve. We also use it to replace RPA solutions created with other platforms using the Power Automate Desktop application.

Power Automate is a great product that has a vast array of options on how to use it. Your imagination is the only hurdle with using Power Automate as there is no limit to what can be done with the system. It has brought a lot of value to our business through the use of custom systems, connectors, and streamlining processes.

There are limited use cases where we are just using the service now app engine as of now

For most tasks WinAutomation is great and easy to use. You just set up tasks on a step by step basis and you can even tell the program what to do when there is an error (such as continue with job). Sometimes with complicated web extraction jobs it would be good to be able to easily extract data from the web page source.

Since people can handle the tool without any development background, this was really helpful and can be adopted by anyone, as reusability functions and drag-and-drop features are very easy. Many in-built features and functionality for integrating other applications are handy and adaptable.

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.

They tried their best to resolve our queries every time we contacted them about any technical support

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 had to migrate from Robocorp to Power Automate. The automation was using API and sharepoint. So it was better to use Power Automate instead of Robocorp so we did the migration. in some areas the migration was easy but creating flows and making it smaller codes was difficult. Debugging the code was tough so we took lots of time.

App engine can be used just to process the minimal amount of the data which is being received from the user. We are service now catalogue items or any other data technology.

Power Automate can do many things that most platforms can't do as a 'citizen-developer' with no access to coding tools and deployment. It allows you to develop and deploy low/no-cost automation flows quickly. The blocks in Powert Automate do the API work for you, where you only need to connect the key data points and actions taken.

Easy and adaptive features and people with no code to basic code developers can handle this, and the reusability of the many functionalities has added advantage. The incident management tool is at the top of the industry, has easy scalability, and adapts to customer needs. Compared with others, pricing is reasonable for the type of support and features it provides.

It is scalable but not reliable
