Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power Automate

For automating repetitive tasks that helps in daily process. There was a problem in checking the mails everyday and processing the invoices attached with it. So with the help of Power Automate we are able to automate it by reading the mails as soon as it receives and process the invoices. This helped in SLA and was able to free 2 staffs from this process and they can concentrate on other processes.

I had to migrate from Robocorp to Power Automate. The automation was using API and sharepoint. So it was better to use Power Automate instead of Robocorp so we did the migration. in some areas the migration was easy but creating flows and making it smaller codes was difficult. Debugging the code was tough so we took lots of time.

Best for automating outlook emails, SharePoint, teams. If the automation is using Api's, then this is the best tool that you can find in the market. Good for Document approval flows and Forms and Survey processing. Not good for highly customized code or intersive applications. Heavy data transformation and manipulation is not possible.
