Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power Automate

We use Power Automate to build workflows and business process management-based processes. We have categorized development into two models: the Citizen development model and the IT Pro model. Citizen developers can only create Automated cloud flows, Instant cloud flows, and Scheduled cloud flows and can only use standard connectors, whereas IT Pro developers can use standard flows, desktop flows, and premium connectors.

Pros

  • Customer follow-up.
  • Finance approval Process.
  • Payment booking.

Cons

  • Some standard/build-in connectors must be provided free.
  • Flow run history must be maintained more than 30 days.
  • More features in PowerShell module.
  • Automating workflow management.
  • Report creation.
  • RPA using Power Automate Desktop.
  • Multi level approval process.
  • Reduction in time and effort.
  • Enhanced Operational Efficiency.
  • Compatibility with Microsoft Services.
  • Increased productivity.
I was part of the migration of classic SharePoint workflows and Nintex workflows. We didn't spend much time learning the new platform because of its user-friendly interface and intuitive drag-and-drop functionality. We have mostly O365 E1 and E3 licensed users, so they can participate in our Citizen Development program and utilize Power Automate to build day-to-day business processes.
Power Automate don't require additional license like Nintex. Also, plenty of connectors in Power Automate connect external systems and applications.

Would you buy Microsoft Power Automate again?

Yes

We replaced all the classic SharePoint and Nintex-based workflows with Power Automate. This saved extra licensing costs and getaways from managing legacy workflows. Power Automate Designer is very user-friendly and requires no additional learning curve. We also use it to replace RPA solutions created with other platforms using the Power Automate Desktop application.
