Microsoft Power Automate Reviews & Product Details

I’ve found Microsoft Power Automate to be a really useful tool for automating everyday tasks, especially since I already use Microsoft 365. It’s fairly easy to get started with and works well with apps like Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint, which makes managing workflows much more efficient. That said, it can get a bit complicated when building more advanced automations, and troubleshooting isn’t always straightforward. Overall, I think it’s a solid option for handling routine processes and improving productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don’t like about Power Automate is that it can get quite complicated when you try to build more advanced workflows, even though it starts off simple. I’ve also found debugging to be a bit frustrating, as the error messages aren’t always clear. On top of that, some features require premium connectors, which can make it more expensive than expected, and it doesn’t always integrate as smoothly with non-Microsoft tools.

Power Automate has evolved a lot over the last two years, and it’s become a very powerful tool for people who aren’t especially technical. I find it straightforward to build simple automation tasks for users, and it’s also easy to manage the automation flows once they’re in place. It integrates smoothly with their OneDrive or SharePoint locations, and because the flows run using their own credentials, you don’t have to worry as much about managing that. On top of that, the AI elements here and there can massively improve the way we work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it gets laggy when I’m designing a flow, especially compared with Logic App design activities. Other than that, there’s really nothing I can say I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Microsoft Power Automate is how easy it is to automate repetitive, everyday tasks without needing any coding skills. It integrates really well with other Microsoft tools like Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint, which makes workflows feel much more connected and efficient.

For example, I’ve set up flows that automatically save email attachments to specific folders and notify the team when something important comes in. This alone has saved me several hours each week and reduced the chance of missing important information.

The interface is also quite user-friendly, especially for non-developers, and the available templates make it easy to get started quickly. I also appreciate that many flows can run in the background without constant monitoring. Overall, it has helped me streamline processes, stay organized, and reduce manual errors.

One thing I find challenging about Microsoft Power Automate is that debugging flows can sometimes be confusing, especially when something doesn’t work as expected. Error messages are not always very clear, so it can take time to figure out what went wrong, particularly in more complex workflows.

Another downside is that while the interface is generally user-friendly, it can become a bit overwhelming when building larger or more advanced flows. Managing multiple conditions, loops, and actions isn’t always as intuitive as it could be.

There are also some limitations with certain connectors and features unless you move to higher-tier plans, which can make it restrictive depending on your needs. In addition, performance can occasionally be inconsistent, with some flows taking longer to trigger or complete than expected.

Overall, while it’s a powerful tool, there’s definitely a learning curve when you start going beyond the basics, and improving clarity around errors and flow management would make a big difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Microsoft Power Automate because it saves me a lot of time, as it handles tasks that would usually require a lot of effort. It's really fast at doing what I need, like sending emails and filling out forms in SharePoint. I appreciate Power Automate's high accuracy, even though nothing is 100% perfect, it's highly accurate and that's satisfying. I also enjoy the integration options. It connects with a lot of applications, which minimizes my effort and time spent. The initial setup is pretty easy, especially with the good UI on both the cloud and desktop versions. There's also a helpful tour guide and plug-and-play feature, making it very responsive with no lag. Overall, using Power Automate has been amazing, improving the quality of work while freeing up time for other tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yeah. The things that could be improved, I would like, the features that it's on the cloud to be available as well in the desktop version and vice versa. Not to mention as well that there are a lot of features that it's important to be available in the free version. So if there is anything that can be added in the free version, apart from what's there, that would be perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Power Automate has allowed me to use APIs and automate repetitive and mundane tasks without having really any technical training and this has saved me countless hours of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since my organization uses the Google Suite of products, I do wish that those connectors had more features and while I generally like the new designer, I wish that it had more detailed error information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest .once i staerted to work on microsoft power automate i never gone with any other automation tools.It’s easy to use and implenmet the flows, and I can automate my daily tasks, which is very helpful. It’s also easy to integrate with multiple tools, and the available automation templates help me save time so I can focus more on thinking through and implementing additional tasks.

what do i dislike on power automation is i never get notified when any re authentication need to run any flow.only i will come to know during the time of troubleshooting . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its help to scheduling the task to trigger the power BI dataset and helps to send the power Bi report export to clients (even more we can apply the logic to filter a specific data in the report and shared to the multiple users) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s powerful, but simple automations sometimes feel harder than they should be. Troubleshooting issues takes time because the errors aren’t always clear, and premium connectors being pay‑walled can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy using Microsoft Power Automate because it's extremely simple to use. The setup process was extremely easy, taking just a couple of minutes to get the workflow up and running. What stands out to me is the seamless connection from Microsoft Teams to Azure, which I find very simple and easy to use. I also like using it with Azure, Teams, and Outlook, as these integrations work perfectly for my needs as a software quality engineer. The tool's ability to automate workflows and reduce human errors is also something I find very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the debugging feels a little bit hard for me. But, it's a little bit nerve-wracking. And once you get comfortable with the tool, it's fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to get started with Power Automate, and it’s simple to share and collaborate with others. I also like the native Microsoft365 platform integrations out of the box. The learning curve is low, and there are plenty of pre-built templates. On top of that, the ability to tap into external APIs and connect with cloud/SaaS systems makes the opportunities feel endless.

Making data transformations is not simple. There are some functions to use, but it would be much easier if data values could be processed through Python or a similar script. Also running operational commands on a workstation or server can be cumbersome with the additional work of configuring a local PA Desktop platform with a secondary flow.

I wish there was a method to report on failed flows which do not exist within Solutions. This is a limitation which is only mitigated by weekly email failure reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of Microsoft Power Automate and how easy it is to integrate it with other tools like SharePoint and Power Apps. The web environment is very intuitive, especially the previous model I used. I also appreciate the number of tips available for each option and how easy it is to add actions in each box. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, practically without any intervention. Overall, I find that the tool helps me manage emails in real-time to streamline operations.

I think it's the part of variable coding within actions. It's not always intuitive and sometimes knowing DAX or HTML is not enough. Rather, you have to experiment. Perhaps more support at the moment of doing it or providing videos with examples of how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
