"Automation powerful and easy to integrate"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

What I highlight the most is its native integration capability with the entire Microsoft 365 ecosystem, which is what we use here in the company. The ease of creating automated workflows between SharePoint, Excel, and Outlook without the need to write complex code is really a great help. Additionally, the visual interface is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Sometimes, debugging complex flows can be a bit tedious because error messages are not always specific and I have to track down where the error is. Sometimes it tells me where the errors are, but many other times it doesn't. Learning advanced functions or logical expressions is not very intuitive and requires a considerable investment of time to learn how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What I like most about Microsoft Power Automate is how easy it makes automation even for non-developers. The drag-and-drop interface and ready-made connectors help in quickly building workflows without heavy coding knowledge. It integrates very well with Microsoft tools like Outlook, Excel, and SharePoint, which makes it highly practical for day-to-day business tasks. Another strong point is its ability to handle repetitive processes like email notifications, file handling, and approvals efficiently, saving a lot of manual effort. The cloud-based execution and scheduling features also make it reliable for unattended automation.

Overall, it strikes a good balance between simplicity and capability, making automation accessible while still being powerful enough for more advanced use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

One drawback of Microsoft Power Automate is that it can become slow and less responsive when dealing with complex or large workflows. Debugging issues is also not very straightforward, especially when flows have multiple nested steps. Additionally, the cost of premium connectors and licensing can be high for advanced use cases. There are also some limitations in customization compared to more developer-focused automation tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power Automate Streamlined Our AWS Governance and Account Workflows"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

"Intuitive Automation with Seamless Integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I mainly use Microsoft Power Automate as an automation tool for my workflows, which include sending weekly or monthly report emails and tracking folder changes. I love that it helps me automate tasks rather than spending precious man hours on repetitive work. It's really easy to use even as a beginner, thanks to its user-friendly UI and UX. The good support and documentation make the experience even better. I also appreciate the quick building of workflows without needing deep coding knowledge. The drag-and-drop of actions makes the automation process intuitive. The super strong integrations work well with Excel, Power Apps, and all, making the implementation aspect much faster compared to custom coding, and the deployment is easier. The initial setup was very easy for me, which is another plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Sometimes the debugging aspect is not so efficient, errors aren't always clear which makes solving them difficult. Another major issue I face is the quota timeout when so many flows run on short recurring time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It streamlines everyday tasks. Improves workforce productivity. Automates tasks across business systems. Increases employee satisfaction and reduce human error. Save time with decision making. Use predefined templates to create a flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular stands out. However, it does sometimes lag, which can be annoying. It might be related to the infrastructure. Also, the interface design could be more user-friendly. Sometimes it just feels a bit slow or unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power Automate Made Our Certification Emails Fast and Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I am a new user to power automate so quickly learnt some basics using YouTube videos, and managed to sort out an automated process connected to a Microsoft form to confirm if they have gained a pass mark to generate and email a certificate via email and if not to just send an email, in a short space of time we have removed a manual process that the team had to do.

Can see us using it to automate other processes within the business as the process to create a new automation is a nice step by step process which is easy to follow.

Used customer support to understand which paid plan we would need which was extremely good value for the year and once that was set up our automations just run in the background without any issues, and they do all the steps so quickly! no waiting around for the email to come through, within 2mins of completing the training they get an email with a certificate confirming they have passed or not. its great!

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

So far not found anything i don't like as the system is very easy to follow and if you do come across an issue if support can't find a solution there is normally one online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple No-Code Automation That Boosts Productivity Across Outlook, Teams & SharePoint"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

"Approval flows easy to create, without relying on technical areas"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like that I have been able to easily enable some approval workflows for my processes without needing support from technical areas to create them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

The configuration to use approval flows seems unintuitive to me. For example, if I need them to have expiration or escalation, I must enable an additional rule for this to work. Honestly, I believe it should be automatic, because it is always necessary and required for the flows to conclude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Automation with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like Microsoft Power Automate's ability to quickly build and deploy automation using a low-code approach. It allows me to connect multiple systems like SharePoint, Dataverse, and external APIs without the need for heavy development, which significantly speeds up delivery. I appreciate the wide range of connectors and how easily it integrates within the Power Platform ecosystem, making it simple to extend Power Apps and create end-to-end business solutions. It strikes a good balance between simplicity and capability, enabling rapid development while still handling complex workflows when needed. The low-code interface allows me to quickly design workflows using pre-built actions and connectors, which speeds up development and makes it easy to prototype solutions. I also like that it has a process standardization benefit, ensuring workflows run consistently across the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

One of the main issues is the reliability of connection references, especially when working with external on-premises servers. These connections can fail unexpectedly and often require re-authentication, which disrupts production workflows and increases maintenance effort. Better management of connection references across environments (Dev/Test/Prod) would also be valuable. Currently, reconfiguring connections during deployments can be time-consuming, so more seamless environment-aware connections or auto-mapping would improve the experience.
