The usability of the tool overall has improved especially for testing. Previously testing was very tedious and slow, but with the new automation center its smoother. > > **Cons**: A lot of the issues are the same as my previous review, but there has definitely been improvements especially with regards to setting time triggers and speed of the application to reach SLA > > Microsoft Power Automate is a great RPA tool with a lot of strong features and excellent compatibility with Microsoft applications. I think the tool is easy to use but still lacks in advanced features for developers where other tools like UiPath still offer a stronger product with a lot more power. I believe that Power Automate should lean more into the advanced tools and code integration more than co-pilot which doesn't really save much time compared to making re-usable components manually. ----- ### "Power Automate is the bomb\!" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *9 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easily it integrates with SharePoint, it has all the functionality of most other workflow engines. > > **Cons**: The limited functionality in 'free' version. > > My experience so far with Power Automate has been great, up there with all other workflow applications. ----- ### "I like it, but can be difficult for beginers" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *17 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use power automate to practice and improve my knowledge, I like to use it and integrate with BI and Sharepoint > > **Cons**: Learning curve may be complicated, That was my opinion in last review, and I'm still thinking the same ----- ### "Overall great product streamlining data collection" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like Power Automate for its ability to easily automate repetitive tasks and streamline workflows. The integration with Formstack is especially helpful for automating actions based on form submissions, saving time and reducing manual work. It also supports better task management by automatically creating and tracking tasks, helping keep work organized and on schedule. > > **Cons**: Some users find Power Automate can be difficult to troubleshoot when flows fail, as error messages aren’t always clear. Others mention limitations with complex logic, connector reliability, or performance issues with larger workflows. Licensing and premium connectors are also a common concern, as costs can add up. While powerful, it often has a learning curve for more advanced automations and task management scenarios. > > I find it can be frustrating to troubleshoot when something goes wrong, as error messages aren’t always clear. Some connectors can be unreliable, and more complex automations have a learning curve ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/399464/microsoft-power-automate?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/399464/microsoft-power-automate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
