What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I find Microsoft Power Automate's building blocks quite straightforward, making it easy to set up. For the tasks I'm handling, it is quite easy to get started with and implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

I find it weird how certain features are paywalled behind this kind of power automate subscription. I'm not even sure what it's called. It felt like the product is made incomplete on purpose to make it unusable and ask people to pay. It would be better if it was just upfront that this is a paid-only model. Also, switching from the Teams webhooks was a big pain; some stupid thing wasn't working and needed a component that was paid only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Practical low-code automation platform for enterprise Microsoft environments"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

What | like best is the speed with which it can automate routine business processes in a Microsoft-centric environment. It integrates well with services such as Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and Excel, and it is very effective for approvals, notifications, reminders, and document-driven workflows. I also appreciate that many flows remain understandable not only for technical specialists but also for business users, which improves collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

The main drawback is that complexity grows quickly when flows move beyond standard use cases. Debugging, error handling, dependency management, and long-term maintenance can become challenging.

Licensing and premium connectors also require careful attention, because they may significantly affect cost and scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

As an architect, I love Microsoft Power Automate because it eliminates repetitive admin tasks, letting me focus on design and creativity. It seamlessly connects tools like Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint, streamlining project workflows. Automating approvals and document management saves hours, so I can dedicate more time to innovation.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

As an architect, what I dislike about Microsoft Power Automate is that complex workflows can become tricky to manage without advanced knowledge.

"Streamlines Processes with Room for Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

I like Microsoft Power Automate because it offers low coding applications, making it accessible for those who aren't coding experts. However, if you know coding, it becomes even more flexible, allowing you to do much more than just using Power Automate itself. The setup process is straightforward, mainly requiring the right permissions and creating an environment for the user, and then you're good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

I don't like the error validation in Microsoft Power Automate. When testing a full flow with conditions, it only shows the error in the first one. It's frustrating because I have to go through each step individually to find the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Automation That Boosts Productivity"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

What I like best about Microsoft Power Automate is its ability to streamline and automate repetitive business processes with minimal coding effort. It integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and a wide range of third-party applications, enabling efficient data flow, approvals, notifications, and system synchronization. This results in improved productivity, reduced manual errors, and faster process execution while remaining accessible to both technical and non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

What I dislike about Microsoft Power Automate is that more complex or high-volume automations can become difficult to manage and troubleshoot. Flows with many conditions, loops, or connectors are not always easy to read or debug, and error handling can be limited without additional workarounds. In addition, performance and execution limits, as well as licensing constraints for premium connectors, can restrict scalability and increase costs for enterprise-level scenarios.

"Effortless Automation with Intuitive Setup and Robust Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

What I like the best about Microsoft Power Automate is how easy it is to use and set up. The implementation process is easy and doesn't take much time and for creating a basic workflow one doesn't need to be a tech expert which is a plus for beginners. I appreciate the interface of the software. I also appreciate the number of features it offers.

There is something for almost everything like sending replies for mails, Scheduling the responses, and refreshing the documents when the trigger gets hit. I use it quite often because it saves me a lot of manual work. Whenever I needed help, the customer support was responsive and helpful, even the Microsoft community support pages. Overall, it's a great tool for automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

It sometimes feels a bit of overwhelming because there are so many features. While that's great for flexibility, it sometimes takes time to figure out which option to use for a specific task.

Occasionally, some flows fail without clear error messages, which can be frustrating. Simple flows are easy to build, but when one starts creating advanced workflows with multiple conditions and integrations, it can get confusing. It works well most of the time, but when something breaks, troubleshooting can take longer than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power of easy automation"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

Microsoft Power Automate has been a game-changer in the way I approach workflow automation. I’ve used it to connect SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams, making it possible to automate ownership assignments, notifications, and approvals.

What I value most is its flexibility—whether it’s sending emails from standardized templates stored in SharePoint, triggering Adaptive Cards in Teams for collaboration, or even setting up automated scheduling in Outlook. Power Automate transforms manual, repetitive tasks into streamlined workflows, freeing up time for more strategic work.

For me, the real impact is the end-to-end visibility it provides: one flow can start with a SharePoint item creation, update ownership, notify stakeholders, and generate calendar events—all while reducing errors and improving efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

While Power Automate is powerful, it can sometimes feel limited when handling complex logic or advanced customizations without extra coding. Some connectors also require premium licensing, which makes certain solutions harder to scale. Additionally, flows can be tricky to troubleshoot when something goes wrong, since the error messages aren’t always clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
