Good for Microsoft services, lack of few features

What differentiates Microsoft Power Automate from other similar products?

Power automate is not a great tool comparative to other RPA tools in market but what differentiated is that you can connect power automate to other Microsoft services fluently like we can easily automate SharePoint, one drive, outlook, etc. Super awesome to work with power apps. So basically they are not just dealing with front end automation, they are doing end to end automation for all Microsoft services.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect is its integration with other services and also its OCR and AI capabilities of Microsoft makes it more reliable.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I dont like the Ui, its becomes messy when you keeps on developing a complex solution. Also compare to other RPA tools, its behind them in features and cost.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Yes definitely Microsoft and its services are always capable and reliable enough to consider your demands. If you want to automate so many things related to micros ft services also want to make everything like mobile applications, web application in power apps of micros ft and here too you can integrate power automate with them. But if you are looking for tools for front end automation then go for other rpa tools who has extended features for excel automation, web automation etc.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Trustworthy
