Featured Reviews

Ayobami Shobaloju - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Deepak-Rai - PeerSpot reviewer
Analytics and dashboards enhance decision-making
Maybe adding some competitor analysis would be beneficial, especially if I am using multiple tools. I do not have many statistics there. Let's consider I am using two tools in one organization due to the criticality of the process. At that time, I am mining, and definitely, the cost is a mining factor.
