Potential but not for us. **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Phil P. | Delivery Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?** There wasn't much for our scenario that made this worth while. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?** We spent months in development trying to get this software to work for us and it still didn't end up being reliable. Any anomaly in system behavior would cause the automation to fail. Because the automation used pictures of websites controls to do the automation, it would fail if those controls happen to move a litle by something as simple as resolution change or window movement. We had the automation use excel to process reports but if excel needed a moment to process the data winauto would end up stalling and not moving forward when excel was ready. Frankly the months of setup we went through to get this working was replaced by a 3 day development cycle to put together a python script, vbs script and then using windows task scheduler to automate. **What problems is Microsoft Power Automate solving and how is that benefiting you?** The tasks we wanted to perform were to navigate a website, download some reports, process them in excel and then email them out to key recipients. In the end it did not end up working for us. ### 2. Cheated out of a lot of money! **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2019 **What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?** It was useful to be able to create small robots that would perform specific tasks automatically **What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?** I paid a lot of money to buy this software, then without telling me they pushed through an automatic update which meant that each individual robot that you created from that point on had to have a paid license. **What problems is Microsoft Power Automate solving and how is that benefiting you?** I stopped using it on the day they pushed through the cheat update ## Microsoft Power Automate Discussions -
