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.

Simplifies integrations and is suitable for large companies

Sometimes, when our company develops using the latest technology, the knowledge is not yet cycled down to the tool's support team. The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool. The promotion of a feature before it is mature may cause issues, and I feel that sometimes the deployment of such features is a little too early. The tool will release a feature, but it will have bugs in it. We face challenges because the tool's team doesn't have the knowledge to deal with the issues in the product's new features. When SAP develops something, if the tool's team doesn't know how to support it, it becomes a problem because now we have to access developers to get the information that is not readily available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's an intuitive product. It's not overly technical."

"It makes work easier."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the ease of use and the templates that are provided. I no longer need to make the document from scratch. I can search for what template I want and then it only requires me to modify it a bit for my needs. Additionally, it's helped improve my productivity and efficiency, and at the same time, it's quicker."

"Overall, it is a great service at the given price. It is very modern, and it integrates in a great way with pretty much anything. It is also fast."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it easily integrates with Azure DevOps."

"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."

"Technical support is available regionally and it's quite good."

"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."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers an integrated development environment."

Cons

"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."

"While Microsoft has a way of integrating well with itself and its own internal tools, it could do more to include external options and add them to the mix."

"When we scale up, we switch to another application."

"The stability of the product is not very good and can even fail with simple projects."

"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."

"They can build more templates and more connectivity with other platforms. They can provide a more user-friendly way to connect with other platforms. They have their own in-built plugins for certain third-party vendors, but there are still a lot of third-party vendors that are not there."

"It doesn't have any OCR capabilities."

"The solution lacks maturity."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

"The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."

"Due to the pricing model, the solution is more convenient than any other tools."

"It is free for us. It is embedded directly in the Office package."

"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."

"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."

"We use Office 365 and this solution is free for me to use with the package we have. We have plans to increase the usage of Microsoft Power Automate."

"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."

"The licensing model is flexible in that you can pay per automation or per user. My client receives a discount because of the large number of users and pays approximately $15 for each one."

"The product is not cheaply priced."
