Microsoft Power Automate Reviews

We use Microsoft Power Automate to automate everything, such as mailing, gathering data from a web scraping, and scheduling time.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier.

I have been using Microsoft Power Automate for one year.

Microsoft Power Automate is stable.

We have five people in my organization using Microsoft Power Automate.

I rate the technical support from Microsoft Power Automate a four out of five.

I rate the initial setup from Microsoft Power Automate a five out of five. The process took us approximately one day.

I rate the return on investment from Microsoft Power Automate a four out of five.

With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate.

I rate Microsoft Power Automate an eight out of ten.

The use cases include Power Apps and Power Automate. We have had use cases for scheduling meetings. We have also used it for HR onboarding solutions where document verification was done by using Power Apps and Power Automate.

I have sold both cloud-based and on-premises solutions.

It has a gamut of things. Power Automate is easy to configure. It is more for a citizen developer. It is low code/no code. It is one of the easiest tools when it comes to configuration. By default, we have a lot of Microsoft products on our laptops or desktops. So, it is very easy to configure the remaining products.

The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing.

I have been selling it for the past one and a half years.

It is stable.

I am definitely satisfied with their support.

Its initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to set up.

The number of people required depends on the size of the project. It depends on how big a project is and what is the use case. It could be just a two-member team, and it could also be a ten-member team. It depends on the number of use cases that have to be automated.

Its licensing is flexible.

Power Automate is doing really well. It is a good solution. I would recommend it, but it also depends on a client's requirement.

I would rate it a seven out of 10.

The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution.

Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow. In the next release, I would like InfoPath to be re-included.

Tech support is hit and miss.

The setup is complex - it's confusing for IT workers, let alone ordinary users.

Power Automate is a separate license, so make sure that if you implement it, you have the appropriate license for all the users who will use it. 

I would rate this solution as seven out of ten.

I'm using it for internal purposes at the moment. We are a consulting company and we are exploring goals with the option of implementing automation for our clients.

Currently, I am assessing Microsoft Power Automate, comparing it with UiPath to see if it's good enough for our clients and for our purpose.

We plan to use this solution for getting information from one application to another, for producing sheets and text files for Power BI, and also for integration and displaying dashboards and business intelligence for the business. It will also be used for invoicing and notifications — mainly business processes in general.

Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use. It's very complete with a lot of activities available. It's intuitive and it seems very stable. 

I was using this solution when it was called Microsoft Flow. Currently, I've been evaluating it for the last two weeks. 

This solution is very stable. 

I can't comment on the scalability yet as I haven't tried to scale it yet. Still, I know it will be scalable because it's in the DNA of the project. 

I haven't had to contact technical support as of yet. 

The initial setup was very straightforward. It only took five to ten minutes to get it up and running. 

I installed this solution by myself. 

Microsoft Power Automate is expensive. The full license is quite expensive. 

I would absolutely recommend this solution to others. At this point in time, I would give it a rating of eight out of ten. 

We are using it to trigger web service calls and gather data. There are some companies in Turkey and Sweden that are using Power Automate.

It is a very useful solution. You don't need to create an infrastructure in your environment just for triggers or executions. You don't need to invest in the infrastructure. 

With Power Automate, we can call or trigger custom web services and routines. We are also using the flow for gathering data from Microsoft Dynamics.

Sometimes, Microsoft changes the game rules, and the free tools are no longer free, which makes it too hard to explain to customers. It is a SaaS service, so the cost is calculated based on the execution hours. However, we don't know the background of this cost because we cannot touch the infrastructure. They can be more open to developers or customers about this. The infrastructure part must be open for the customers.

We have been using this solution for two years.

It is scalable.

Technical support depends on the type of partner agreement. We have a premium agreement with Microsoft, so there is no problem with support operations. For support for any Microsoft product, such as Dynamics, Azure, or Power Automate, we can easily talk to their support.

It is very easy to install. It took just one day.

I would rate Microsoft Power Automate a seven out of ten.

The primary use of the product is for automating business processes.

The templates on offer are very good. It's quite helpful to have them.

The initial setup is fast as there really isn't anything to implement if you use the cloud.

Overall, it's been a positive user experience.

I've had some issues with the stability.

I've only been using the solution for a few weeks. I don't have a lot of experience with the solution just yet. It's still quite new to me.

The stability is not very reliable. I've had some issues. 

I can't speak to the scalability of the product. I haven't used it for that long just yet and have not attempted to scale it. Therefore I can't really speak very well to its potential capabilities. 

I've never been in touch with technical support. I cannot speak to how responsive or knowledgeable they are as I have not had an opportunity to communicate directly with them just yet.

I did previously use another solution. I've used UiPath in the past.

Only the desktop version has an installation process. You do not need to install anything if you use the cloud version. It's quite straightforward. 

I'm a student and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

I'm writing my thesis about RPA, but I don't have much developing experience.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. I am unsure of the exact version number.

I'm using the trial version of the product.

I have not decided if I will keep using the solution going forward. 

Although the solution is still new to me, from what I have experienced, I would recommend the solution to other organizations.

I would rate it at a seven on a scale from one to ten.

Our primary use case for WinAutomation is financial. This solution can be used for desktop or front office automation; even the back office operations automations this solution can provide are good.

I find WinAutomation's linear approach to the code and function calling valuable. I also appreciate the effort they put toward the experience for the user; learning is good and automation is very simple.

WinAutomation's OCR integrator should be improved. 

I have been using this solution for four years.

We haven't had are issues with stability.

WinAutomation is scalable to a certain extent. I would rate it seven for the scalability, which could be better. Softomotive is better scalable than WinAutomation in this regard.

I've found that they have a limited support team. Issues take longer to be resolved and there usually have to be a couple of followups with their tech support.

Before switching to WinAutomation, we used other products, including WorkFusion and Jacada. Some were better and some worse than WinAutomation for us. However, WinAutomation's license is cheaper, which is why we ultimately switched. Also, WinAutomation is easier to understand.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

I implemented WinAutomation myself.

As far as pricing goes, WinAutomation's earlier model was good. They were cheap. However, they changed the model. It's per work station now, which is okay.

We use it for automating our business processes. We are using it for sending reminders and these sorts of things. Every Excel update also happens through Power Automate.

It is still under the review stage. We are not using it in production. Currently, we are waiting until the product is completely stabilized. We are expecting it to happen by September 2021. We are using its latest version. It can be deployed on the cloud and on-premises.

Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in.

When comparing with Automation Anywhere, there are a couple of things that this product doesn't have. One of the major things is the key management system. It would be great if they improve this. Its documentation can also be improved.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is not yet stable. It is a new solution, and it is not completely stable. Microsoft is still doing some work on it.

It is scalable. We have 30 to 40 users of this solution.

Their technical support is good.

We are using Automation Anywhere. Power Automate is integrated with Office 365, so we wanted to see if this can be utilized or not.

It was straightforward. It didn't take more than 20 minutes.

I did it myself.

Currently, we are using the free license for testing. After everything is done, we'll buy the license.

I would definitely recommend this solution. I would rate Microsoft Power Automate an eight out of ten.
