Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power Automate
We thought Microsoft Power Automate would meet our needs for workflow automation. We manage a large project for our client with about 1,500 projects we have to track from start to finish in a 12-month cycle. our SharePoint tracker has over 100 fields. We wanted to use Microsoft Power Automate to monitor the tracker and start workflows when dates were added to certain fields. Think review and approval before the project goes to the next step. Our team is in the sharepoint list every day making updates. Our experience was that Microsoft Power Automate failed us. It would often throttle the workflows and when someone was supposed to get an email to review something it would be delayed.
Pros
- Email notification
- Setting up process flows
Cons
- Throttling - in our experience, makes it unusable for a project with a lot of rows and a lot of activity.

- Email Notification
- Negative impact due to throttling
- We have to pursue other automation tools
In our experience, Microsoft Power Automate fails with throttling and became unusable to meet our client deadlines. Nintex did not experience throttling issues for us.
