"Easy, Code-Light Automation That Fits Perfectly in the Microsoft Ecosystem"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

What I like most is that it lets me automate repetitive tasks without having to write much code. There are plenty of ready-made connectors, so it’s straightforward to build workflows between Microsoft applications and other services. Automations like sending notifications, updating files, moving data, or triggering actions automatically can save a lot of manual effort.

I also appreciate how well it fits into the Microsoft ecosystem. Since I already use tools like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Excel, and other Microsoft services, creating workflows between them feels natural. The interface is easy to follow, and once you’ve built a couple of flows, putting together new ones becomes much faster.

Copilot is another helpful addition. It can generate flows from simple descriptions and suggest improvements, which comes in handy when I’m trying to automate something quickly or when I’m learning a new workflow. I still review everything before using it, but it definitely helps speed things up.

Overall, it’s a solid tool for cutting down on repetitive work and improving productivity without needing deep development experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

I don’t have any major issues with it, but there is a bit of a learning curve as workflows get more complex. Simple automations are easy to build; however, once you start adding multiple conditions, approvals, or integrations, it takes some time to understand how everything fits together.

When a flow fails, troubleshooting can also mean digging through the run history to pinpoint exactly where the problem occurred. It’s not especially difficult, but clearer error messages would make debugging faster and more straightforward.

Other than that, it’s been a reliable tool and has worked well for the automation scenarios I’ve explored so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and easy-to-implement automation"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

One of the newest things I like is the growing integration with AI capabilities and Microsoft Copilot, which makes creating and optimizing workflows much easier. The expanding library of connectors allows seamless integration with Microsoft services and many third-party applications. I also appreciate the improvements in cloud flows, approval processes, and automation monitoring, which help reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency across business processes.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Power Automate could improve the debugging experience by providing clearer error messages and more detailed execution logs for complex workflows. Managing large flows with many conditions and actions can also become difficult, so better design tools and visualization would be helpful. Additionally, simplifying licensing, improving connector performance, and offering more advanced monitoring and governance features would make the platform even more valuable for enterprise environments.

"Easy Drag-and-Drop Workflow Automation That Fits Perfectly in the Microsoft Stack"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

It is easy to build useful workflows with a drag-and-drop interface with no deep coding needed. That means business users can automate things like approvals, notifications, or data movement without waiting on IT. It fits naturally with tools like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Excel, and OneDrive. For someone already working in the Microsoft stack (like me), this is a huge advantage since we can automate workflows right where the work already lives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

When something fails in the workflow, troubleshooting isn’t always straightforward. Error messages can be vague, and tracking down the exact step or data issue takes effort especially in larger flows. Also, flows can sometimes be slow or inconsistent, particularly with complex logic or multiple connectors. Delays in triggers (like email or SharePoint events) can impact time-sensitive processes.

"Reliable No-Code Automations with Seamless Microsoft 365 Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

It’s easy to build no-code automations that can be deployed in the cloud and connected with Microsoft applications like Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint. They’re very straightforward to deploy in the cloud and have a very low failure rate, so the automations feel highly reliable. The basic connectors are free and cover most of my everyday automation needs, such as automatically sending emails and updating SharePoint files.Has a no code UI where with drag and drop the automation can be built Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

No issues so far. It’s a very well-integrated product for developing automations with Microsoft tools like Excel, Outlook, SharePoint, etc. The only shortcoming I’ve found is that Excel macros can’t be executed in cloud automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick and effective automation in Microsoft Power Platform, with top-notch support"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I love the possibility of automating my entire Microsoft environment in my company, as we work with the entire Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem. We have been able to integrate the whole company with a few automations and with few licenses, because only those who develop and those who use the flow need a license. So far, I haven't had any failures, except for some configurations that don't hold. In general, it is very fast and efficient. Moreover, the interface has been improved over time and today it is much more user-friendly and smooth. Lastly, Microsoft's support team is top-notch: always at your service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

I feel that they have fallen behind in AI topics, ease of integrations, and the automatic creation of actions with AI builder, etc. They should focus more on integrating AI into their tools. I have also had problems with the permanence of certain configurations that after a while I have to readjust because they stop working unexpectedly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast Automation with Powerful Integrations and Smart AI Guidance"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like new design of power automate. It is simple and easy to understand. A person who does not have any coding experience can easily catch up and start automating tasks. Easy to find bugs as we can view the run history and specifically pin point what went wrong. Integration with sharepoint and one drive is really helpful.Support of microsoft takes time but they always come with the right solution. Pricing is affordable.Performance of power automate flows is really cool. the sophisticated flows are executed within seconds. The compose actions takes only 0 seconds. The retry policy, concurrency control and pagination features are good. The AI associated with power automate helps to quickly analyse which action to choose and helps to complete in no time.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

The response from microsoft when we raise a ticket for support has a delay. It would be better if the response time was shortened.And also after multiple users trying to edit the flow, it becomes corrupt irreversibly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best RPA Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

The most amazing feature in Power Automate is how easily it connects to different connectors. The tool is also very user-friendly: it’s easy to understand the flow and easy to develop with as well. It can be connected to SharePoint, Outlook, and so many others like those. Also its license cost is cheap when compared to other RPA tools like UiPath. Also it can be integrated with AI for more business scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Compared with other RPA tools like UiPath, Power Automate feels slow. Also, while the standard license and initial cost may be low, for most connectors we still need to pay extra to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Solid, Easy Way to Automate Everyday Workflows in Microsoft 365"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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: Powerful, Easy-to-Manage Flows with Smooth OneDrive/SharePoint Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

"Easy No-Code Automation That Streamlines Workflows Across Microsoft Tools"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.
