mpmX (Mehrwerk Process Mining) vs Microsoft Power Automate Process Mining
process mining head-to-head for ERP teams: evidenced capabilities, published pricing, and which ERPs each actually integrates with.
| Starting price | Quote-based for full enterprise licensing; published fixed pricing for its scoped pilot program | From $15/user/mo (published) |
| Deployment | Cloud, On-premise, Hybrid | Cloud |
| Company size | Mid-market, Enterprise | — |
| Stated ERP integrations | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor | Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP |
| Vendor | MPMX GmbH (Mehrwerk) | Microsoft |
Our take
Where mpmX (Mehrwerk Process Mining) leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 21 of the 28 capabilities where they differ (led by object-centric process mining (ocpm) and digital twin of the process).
- Stated Oracle Fusion Cloud, Infor integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where Microsoft Power Automate Process Mining leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 7 of the 28 capabilities where they differ (led by conformance checking against models and rework & loop detection).
- Published pricing where the alternative quotes.
Where they differ
The 28 capabilities (of 46 in the process mining taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
