"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.

"Saves Time and Boosts Efficiency"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

"Easy Automation Setup with Seamless Outlook and SharePoint Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

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.

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.

"Easy No‑Code Microsoft Automations with Reliable, Fully Cloud Deployment"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

"Effortless Power BI Scheduling and Automated Report Exports"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

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.

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

I really enjoy using Microsoft Power Automate because it's extremely simple to use. The setup process was extremely easy, taking just a couple of minutes to get the workflow up and running. What stands out to me is the seamless connection from Microsoft Teams to Azure, which I find very simple and easy to use. I also like using it with Azure, Teams, and Outlook, as these integrations work perfectly for my needs as a software quality engineer. The tool's ability to automate workflows and reduce human errors is also something I find very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Sometimes, the debugging feels a little bit hard for me. But, it's a little bit nerve-wracking. And once you get comfortable with the tool, it's fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Native Microsoft Automation is Easy to Start and Powerful to Administer"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Automate?

It’s easy to get started with Power Automate, and it’s simple to share and collaborate with others. I also like the native Microsoft365 platform integrations out of the box. The learning curve is low, and there are plenty of pre-built templates. On top of that, the ability to tap into external APIs and connect with cloud/SaaS systems makes the opportunities feel endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Automate?

Making data transformations is not simple. There are some functions to use, but it would be much easier if data values could be processed through Python or a similar script. Also running operational commands on a workstation or server can be cumbersome with the additional work of configuring a local PA Desktop platform with a secondary flow.

I wish there was a method to report on failed flows which do not exist within Solutions. This is a limitation which is only mitigated by weekly email failure reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
