We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like Power Automate because it is very easy to use for users who don't have IT knowledge.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""I believe document reading has been beneficial when dealing with Microsoft.""I have found the scheduling and email notifications features to very good compared to other RPA tools I have used.""Power Automate Desktop allowed me to quickly visually identify parts of a screen and record it. So I can see that I know I'm going to have to click this button here, this field there, and this tab here, and I can literally go and quickly just record all of them and identify them and have them in a list that I can see and say - there's my list of things.""I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up.""The best part is the automated workflow, which is quite good and easy. It is just drag-and-drop. We are able to create workflows quite quickly. We are able to directly integrate the data that it generates with Power BI dashboards. Its integration is quite good with other Microsoft tools, such as Power BI. The visualization of the data has become helpful for us.""It's an intuitive product. It's not overly technical."

Cons
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier.""While using this solution, we found it to be basic.""The OCR functionality needs to be improved.""The solution could offer more specific training. There should be more examples of what the functions can do and more instructions and explanations to the process.""The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data.""The stability of the product is not very good and can even fail with simple projects.""It should be faster and more user-friendly.""There should be more transparency when it comes to which features accompany the pricing, as there appear to be hidden features of which I am not aware."
