Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power Automate
My team has access to Power Automate through our O365 licences. we caught its potential usages after Microsoft made a presentation of the Power platform.
Since it is a cloud based solution depply linked to office 365, our main usages were first around Word, Excel, Sharepoint and Outlook simple but repetitive tasks automation. we then automated daily paperwork/management workflows.
we then began to use power Automate for some company wide business processes.

- easy to use workflow solution
- very efficient integration with all O365 components, especially Word, Outlook, Sharepoint, MS Teams...
- easily extracts data from a great number of sources ( and can be used as an ETL tool)
- updates are sometimes not backward compatible and can break existent workflows
- Power Automate can be tough to learn for people that aren't used to Microsoft/Azure products and UI
- 3rd party connectors troubleshooting can be confusing
- workflow/business process setup
- Office 365 integration
- the great number of 3rd party connectors
- Task automation made easy (less development for the same result)
- a lot of time saved with repetitive tasks automated, that means more time for more added value tasks
- time is money so it is cost efficient
we didn't use the conversational AI Tools as help during automations development, as we relied more on the dedicated "human" support that Microsoft provided.
we are more considering to try the Power Automate AI Builder feature in order to extract data from scanned paper documents
