What differentiates Microsoft Power Automate from other similar products?

Most of the business world has grown used to the microsoft office suite, the fact that this product comes bundles with some of the most basic plans offered by microsoft makes it a no brainer. Since it's a Microsoft Office Product existing in your enviroment already it seamlessly connects to other office products that might house the data you need to manipulate. There are also 100's of out of the box solutions for connecting it to non microsoft branded products and services, even if one does not exist you cant create a custom connector to ensure it works with all your applications

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Impact it has on the business

What do you dislike most about this product?

Yes there are some common templates premade for scenarios but every business is a little different and at time it does require the creator to have some background knowledge on various "coding" languages like JSON, HTML, VB etc

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You likely already have it and are simply not using it. Many Organizations I consult for have full licenses for alot of the powerplatform products microsoft has recently introduced to the market. You're wasting time and money by not using it.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
Reliable
