Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

Frees up employee time but can't run when computer system is locked
Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks. It would be better if, when we have scheduled a scenario, it would log into the system automatically.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The approval feature is the most important feature. We also use the flow history feature. It is a very useful product as compared to other products. We can automate easily when a list is updated. We can also handle approval-related issues and integrate it with emails."
"The solution is relatively easy to use and cost-effective."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."
"It servers our purposes in bringing together all types of applications, being able to automate them with the right intelligent output from the data that we plugin."
"Microsoft Power Automate has positively impacted my organization as it has saved a lot of time and effort."
"I believe document reading has been beneficial when dealing with Microsoft."
"One of the most valuable features of Power Automate is its ability to extract text from a website."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The tool's most valuable feature is data import. The OCR feature helps to recognize the data. It can recognize screen and document numbers well."
"This software is very smart - it can decide from a picture if we like that condition, and then the robot will do that action."
 

Cons

"It should work better for Angular websites, as it has a lot of problems."
"The licensing model is difficult to understand and is something that should be improved."
"Power Automate could be improved by adding an internal fuzzy lookup or fuzzy match feature."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by adding more features to the free version it would be good because there are many features that you have to pay for. There are some functions that IT personnel, like myself, have a difficult time using and could be made more user-friendly."
"Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere."
"When you try to create a flow or work on the flow in Microsoft Power Automate you cannot undo changes. There are no options to edit or, undo an action. This feature would be useful. The editing option within the flow can be enhanced."
"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."
"I think the language Microsoft Power Automate uses when you do expressions could be better. What they use is not a popular programming language. It would be better for Microsoft to find a more popular programming language, such as Python. It would take away the whole no-code aspect of the solution but you don't need to write that many lines of code to improve something in a process. Instead of no-code, they could be a low-code environment."
"The OCR has issues recognizing handwritten data."
"Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is right. If you have Office 365 It's included."
"It is free with Office 365 subscription."
"Initially, we had a Microsoft account for Office 365. Later, we discovered that our license included access to Power Automate at no additional cost. There was a small fee for additional features, but it was negligible compared to the benefits. There are not any additional fees required to use the solution."
"There is zero licensing cost. It comes with our Microsoft Office subscription."
"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."
"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."
"Power Automate is comparatively less costly than UiPath."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We pay yearly for the agent who runs the processes, plus an additional fee for maintenance costs."
