## Reviews

### "Quick Review on Power Automate" — 4.0/5

> **rizi** | *9 June 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Power Automate simplifies repetitive tasks with low-code automation, integrates well with Microsoft 365, and boosts productivity.
> 
> **Cons**: Debugging complex flows can be frustrating, with limited error detail and inconsistent behavior in large workflows.
> 
> Overall, Power Automate is a powerful tool for streamlining business processes, though it requires careful design for reliability.

### "It's good for the basics, but is still lacking key features and has lots of "quirks"" — 3.0/5

> **Zoe** | *12 June 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What's great about Power Automate is most businesses have it already with their licenses if they already have other Microsoft Cloud offerings. Therefore it can allow you and your business to get some real basic automation up and running quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: It's not fully mature yet and is missing a lot of key features other similar products/systems, such as Nintex, provide. For instance, if you have a few workflow actions you'd like to skip over (or not run) like sending an email every run, there's no way in Power Automate to disable that workflow action. You have to move it to the end of the workflow (however big it may be), and put a "terminate" action before it. With other products, you can "disable" that particular action and the workflow will skip right over it. Or if you change a variable name, in Power Automate you have to find it in every action and replace the old variable name with the new one.
> 
> Power Automate allows users to get up and running quickly if they have other Microsoft Licenses already in house. THe workflow actions aren't always intuitive or straight forward, and it does take some getting used to. Power Automate as a whole lacks basic features other similar products provide. For instance, there's no "check if file exists in SharePoint" function. Instead, you have to put together roughly 3-5 workflow actions in Power Automate to see if a file exists on SharePoint whereas other products it's as simple as 1 step.

### "Excellent Automation tool Integrated Across Microsoft Ecosystem" — 5.0/5

> **Norman** | *3 June 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the ease of integration of Power Automate across the Microsoft, Azure and Office 365 ecosystem.
> 
> **Cons**: The limitation of only a month's worth of flow run history isn't ideal, however a SharePoint list can be used to persist and log data to work around this.
> 
> Power Automate is a very easy tool to pick up and use with a plethora of triggers, actions and connections ready to use out of the box.

### "Power Automate is a great tool to automate your everyday work" — 5.0/5

> **Brenton** | *3 June 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: You can create flows for everyday work items. It helps automate items in your everyday work, whether that be notifying someone a document has been submitted or ready for another person to edit or for approval on something.
> 
> **Cons**: It can take a while to learn how to use Microsoft Power Automate. There are a lot of connectors and actions which can be hard to work out which one to use in certain scenarios.

-----

### "Automate workflows - beginner and pro friendly" — 4.0/5

> **Guy** | *5 March 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Automate the boring stuff or get creative and make great use of it.

I was able to with the Premium version automate notifications built of Kusto Query Language results creating a programmatic way of achieving these results cutting out the human flaw.

It's interface and helpful flow connectors make it easy to make an automation without any coding technical knowledge
> 
> **Cons**: Copilot assistance is very unhelpful and will often ruin your flow rather than aide or assist you.
