"Streamlines Automation, Slight Hurdles in Debugging"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like the pre-built templates and various app integrations in Microsoft Power Automate. Now that they've added AI, it's a good feature too. We can connect Outlook, Teams, and other apps seamlessly into our workflows. AI features like data extraction from invoices are really helpful. The pre-built templates, such as for email notifications, are readily available and easy to use directly. Setting up Microsoft Power Automate is very easy because of the pre-built templates and proper documentation on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

When it comes to complex workflows, debugging becomes harder and they run very slow. In the error messages, it doesn't show the root cause of failure, just says 'Action failed'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Microsoft Integration, Exceptional Automation Capabilities"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like Microsoft Power Automate for its ease of use and how well it integrates within the Microsoft ecosystem. Its almost drag and drop features are great, and the no-code approach is lovely. If you do have to use code, it's extremely light, with helpful power fx for quick functions, transformations, and JSON parsing. I enjoy its multiple connections and various approaches to trigger workflows, like time-based triggers, buttons in Power Apps, or HTTP requests. The ability to have comprehensive end-to-end flows within the Microsoft ecosystem is a big plus, and its Power BI integrations are great. Setting it up is very straightforward and easy within Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Online, and I appreciate that it's relatively easy to use and set up because it's within our license. Also, using it for a proof of concept or RPA approach, like triggering a report from SAP and downloading it to an Excel file, works well for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Well, the Copilot is almost useless. It feels like a black box. If you request, it's simpler. Yes. And yes. It will be able to help you about anything beyond the simple request. It's useless. Sometimes the errors are not very clear. What they are and what should be suggested fix. In general, not just in Copilot. I wish this to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It saves a lot of manual effort, like copy-paste work, email follow-ups, and moving files around. It also helps standardize processes so everyone follows the same workflow. And it’s accessible: you can start simple and gradually build more complex automations as you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Sometimes the flow becomes slow when there are a lot of actions. The daily limit for external connections should be increased for Excel and other connectors, and the HTTP request should be non-premium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Non-Tech Users, But Needs a Smoother UI"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like that Microsoft Power Automate enables non-technical people to build real solutions without needing a developer. This tool makes me feel more productive, allowing me to work smart rather than hard. I appreciate being able to understand and address my own problems since I know my workflow better than anyone else, which also helps save money as every automation significantly reduces costs. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

The UI or UX can be confusing for new users, the newer interface has limited actions, and sometimes I have to go back to the old interface to find some features. Error codes lack depth, making debugging difficult, so I have to think carefully about how to test and monitor flows after I create or build them. While triggering complex workflows, I experience latency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Automation, Powerful Microsoft Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like using Microsoft Power Automate to automate workflows between applications. It helps reduce manual tasks and improves efficiency, especially when working with Microsoft tools. I find that it integrates well with Microsoft applications like Outlook and Teams, allowing me to automate workflows without complex coding. The connectors are particularly useful as they make it easy to connect different applications and trigger automated tasks, like sending notifications or updating data when an email arrives. Overall, the ease of starting with the templates and connectors is great, and it was very easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Sometimes the platform can be a little difficult for beginners. Some workflows and configurations take time to learn. More tutorials and documentation would help new users understand the tool faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Automation with Vast Connector Library"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I use Microsoft Power Automate to bridge the gap between my communication development tools. I have a flow that monitors my Gmail for specific project alerts and automatically posts a summary to Slack. I also like that it tracks build status notifications from Android Studio via custom HTTP requests to keep my team updated. What I like most is the vast library of prebuilt connectors; being able to link Gmail to Slack without writing a single line of backend code is a huge time saver. These connectors are valuable because they abstract away complex API authentication that I'd otherwise have to handle manually. The most seamless aspect is the dynamic content picker. When setting up a flow between Gmail and Slack, I don't have to parse the JSON or write regex to find the sender email or message body. The initial setup of Microsoft Power Automate was much easier than I expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

While the connectors are great, the error handling and debugging process can be frustratingly opaque. When a flow fails between Gmail and Slack, the error codes provided are often vague, making it hard to tell if the issue is a connection timeout or a permission error. As a Flutter developer, I would love to see the expression editor upgraded to a full-screen mode with proper syntax highlighting and more robust features, as writing complex nested logic in the small sidebar is prone to errors.

"Great tool for automation and easy to learn for beginners"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

"Streamlines Automation but Needs AI Enhancements"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.
