Cons
"In an upcoming release, the exception handling mechanism could improve.

If we had this feature it would make it even more stable.""When you are doing desktop automation, they do not have a clear structure to create the code.""On the governance side, there isn't enough documentation on how to govern Power Automate. People just build bespoke automation, which then becomes a problem point for different companies.""It should work better for Angular websites, as it has a lot of problems.""I need to have more integration capabilities from this solution.""This solution should be more resilient, with robots more capable of recovering after an error.""If the product had onscreen help, it would be easier to learn and use.""More OCR and AI capabilities are needed to improve the solution.
