Microsoft Power Automate Reviews & Product Details

Power Automate makes it incredibly easy to orchestrate workflows across our AWS account‑tracking process, automating notifications, approvals, and data updates without custom scripting.

Power Automate has reduced manual coordination across our AWS footprint, improved data consistency, and created a predictable workflow for capturing account‑level information. It saves time, enforces governance, and keeps our cloud operations team aligned without needing custom automation or scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Power Automate can become slow or complex when orchestrating flows across hundreds of AWS accounts, especially when API calls stack up or connectors require custom handling. Debugging multi‑step flows isn’t always intuitive, and AWS integrations aren’t as seamless as Azure‑native connectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Power Automate helps automate routine tasks across Microsoft 365 and external apps, so workflows can be created quickly without deep programming skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Power Automate is not always easy to manage, thanks to its complicated licensing and limited debugging visibility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It obviously helps automate many daily tasks. I use it a lot for its scheduled reminders to notify different channels, chat groups and mail groups, as well as with the incoming webhook connector. The existing connectors to other services are useful, and it provides an effective framework with almost all the features needed for entry- to mid-level automation tasks.

Very slow interface

Very less and/or scattered documentation available for different connectors

I miss an ai helper trained on power automate, that can suggest me some workflows after getting my text based input regarding task and goals at hand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most in Microsoft Power Automate is the simplicity it offers in connecting different applications and automating tasks without the need for coding knowledge. It is a tool that I have been using to connect different applications, including Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint, and automate different tasks. It offers different templates to ensure that different workflows can be easily set up. It has greatly helped me reduce repetitive tasks, enhance accuracy, and be more productive as I have been able to focus on other tasks instead of manually transferring information.

The only drawback is that with advanced workflows, one might need to know how to read complex logic or expressions, and this might not be easy for a beginner. Some connectors might not always perform as expected, and troubleshooting might take a while for larger flows. Some premium connectors might only be available with a higher plan, and this might limit smaller teams. The interface is very easy to use for simple operations but might get cluttered with many complicated flows, and navigation might get a little tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Microsoft Power Automate is how easily it lets me automate repetitive tasks and workflows without needing extensive coding. Its broad range of connectors across Microsoft 365 and third-party apps also makes it especially useful for streamlining day-to-day business processes and keeping routine work moving smoothly.

Power Automate can start to feel confusing once workflows become more complex, and tracking down errors during debugging isn’t always straightforward. On top of that, some of the more advanced features require premium licenses, which can drive up costs and potentially limit how much smaller teams are able to use it.

Power Automate is really easy to use—you don’t need to know any code or programming at all. It’s not difficult to get started. I use it every week to help me export some reports. The way it works is that it has a built-in recorder; after I record all my steps, it will automatically run them according to the flow actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When your computer or network experiences delays, Power Automate may fail to recognize certain steps and display an error in red. That’s why it’s important to set the right wait time during the design process—not too short. Also, if the webpage changes or something pops up during automation, you’ll get the same error and need to reconfigure the flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone who is PL-900 certified, I really like how user-friendly the interface is. You don't need to be a coding expert to build useful flows. The pre-built templates are very helpful for getting started quickly.

I also appreciate the Microsoft Developer Program. It gave me access to the Admin Portal so I could learn how to manage environments and data policies without needing a paid business license right away. It is great for learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing structure can be very confusing to understand, especially when moving from a developer account to a real business environment.

Also, sometimes when a flow fails, the error messages are a bit vague. It can be hard to figure out exactly what went wrong without searching online for answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Microsoft Power Automate mainly for the 'out of sight out of mind' concept, as it eliminates the need for me to manually query my own data extraction since it's automatically displayed in the apps directly. I definitely enjoy everything related to integrating with other apps within Microsoft 365, especially when combining it with Power Apps. The initial setup was pretty straightforward, and with AI on the side, I really can't even complain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Power Automate is definitely falling behind AI agents. Microsoft needs to do a refactoring to make Automate even easier to use, which is already a hard task on its own. The flows themselves could be directly wired or shown diagrammatically just by a prompt so you can actually see the automated process rather than just blindly trusting an Agent.

I use Microsoft Power Automate for automating Microsoft tools like Teams and Outlook, and I like that it provides seamless integration with other Microsoft tools. It's easy to use with built-in AI that helps you all the time, making it easier to play around with the features. I specifically find value in using Teams messaging and Outlook email sending, and I have also integrated it with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The expression section is incredibly hard to write an expression for. It would be much better if I could easily see the output and use them. For instance, when a message comes from Teams, I want to see what message is being sent, but the output section has tons of data to analyze by looking at raw data. Then I have to write a specific expression that captures the data from that message. It could be more user-friendly if it were in a format like n8n. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Power Automate allows for rapid prototyping and deployment of automated workflows without a heavy DevOps overhead. The native integration with the Microsoft 365 stack is its biggest strength—being able to trigger a flow from a Power App or a SharePoint list modification allows us to achieve 'quick wins' that look very professional to stakeholders.

It struggles with complex logic. Once you need to do advanced data manipulation or heavy-duty loops, the visual interface becomes cluttered and difficult to document. The debugging tools are also somewhat opaque. Finding exactly why a specific action failed in a nested condition can be a headache. Lastly, the dependency on the Microsoft ecosystem makes it a tough sell for cross-platform environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
