Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power Automate
Following are some of the business problems,
1. Collecting site engineers daily time detail and pushing that detail to PeopleSoft (ERP)
2. Weekly cross ERP data reading, Creating reconciliation report, and pushing this report to Power BI
3. Reading daily unapplied cash items from ERP systems, Pushing them to the SharePoint list, and Sending push notifications to business teams to give the details

- API Interaction
- UI Automation
- MS 365 tools interaction
- Reading, and sending outlook emails
- Dealing with bulky json response: There should be an inbuild json explorer so that Power Automate itself can parse the json response responded by Power Automate flow so that developer could easily digest the json
- Test logs action activity: There is no activity that can print log messages.
- Way to comment out an activity: Currently there is no way to comment out an activity. There should be a way to do so.
- SharePoint cloud interaction
- Outlook Interaction
- AI Builder
- DataFlow (Power Query)
- High return on investment when we compare it with other automation tools we have such as UiPath
- Quick Developement and Production: Because it is low code no code solution which is always quick to build automation
- Developement Time savings: Because we have trained our business users to build automation workflow by themselves which gave them capability to build the automation flows by themselves
We have used AI Builder to its max to convert our historical data from unstructured format to structured format. CBRE's automation capability touched the high due to AI Builder capability.
- Power Automate beats UiPath basically from a costing perspective. I prefer Power Automate over UiPath because of its different costing segments that make it way cheaper than UiPath.
- Smartsheet provides a number of functions when it comes to dealing with and showcasing tabular data, but Sharepoint Lists along with Power Automate becomes a strong candidate for dealing with tabular data.
