Microsoft Power Automate Reviews & Product Details

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.

It’s very easy to set up automations and streamline several jobs. The integration with Microsoft products like Outlook and SharePoint is also a really nice feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not possible to create a new function that you can reuse across several flows. Also, creating multiple variables should be possible in a single step, instead of having to do them one at a time. 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.

Easy to build automations using their no-code builder. It has connectors for different types of automation, like email automation, SharePoint list automation, and Excel automation. The automations can be deployed on the cloud with time-based triggers, and it’s easy to monitor errors using the logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a lot of time to load large automation flows with many steps. Even debugging errors that contain multiple steps in the flow can be a bit time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to automate flows, and the tool is very user-friendly. Since it comes free with an M365 license, most of the functionality is available at no extra cost. You can also record flows for automation, which makes it even more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My organization doesn’t allow cloud access, so I can’t trigger forms through Power Automate desktop. Also, sharing flows requires premium licensing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No-code automation platform that makes it easy to build automations and has native support for most Microsoft tools like SharePoint and Excel. It’s straightforward to create automations around Microsoft services, and it’s also easy to deploy cloud solutions without any additional hardware. Everything runs completely in the cloud.

There are occasional failures in the cloud runs, but they’re very minimal—about 1 in 100 automation runs. These errors are due to outages in Microsoft services, but overall power automate is very reliable. 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.
