Implementation Rating

The initial setup is easy, but once you are started and want to automate processes, it becomes difficult to automate some processes. Of course you first want to optimize the process before automating it. However, it can still be difficult to automate some process because of the complexity. Then, an extensive guide for Microsoft Power Automate would be helpful.

Likelihood to Recommend

Microsoft Power Automate works well if you want to process much within the Microsoft architecture.Within this architecture there's a lot possible within the Microsoft Apps. When you are looking for an automation on desktop apps or with third parties, Microsoft Power Automate is less suited. There are a lot of integrations possible, but there are also quite a lot of integrations missing, that's a pity.
