I have several daily processes that run reports, pull data and publish to FTP sites. At the heart of this process is Power Automate. I have used various other tools, and Power Automate stands above all of the rest when it comes to flexibility and the ability to customize processes. > > **Cons**: In the beginning, Power Automate can be daunting because it is so powerful. Once I figured out how PA worked, I have been able to quickly generate, modify and deploy several complex processes. It does take time to learn, but once you have it, you are off and running. > > The most complex of my processes, is pulling data from PostgreSQL using a PowerQuery in Excel. The data is refreshed, saved to a CSV and then uploaded via Filezilla to an FTP. It is a daily process triggered by Task Scheduler. ----- ### "A strong replacement for simple scripting and workflow automation" — 4.0/5 > **connor** | *21 April 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very good at connecting repetitive business tasks across 365 and other business services. It can work quite well for approvals and notifications, and simple uncomplicated process automation. For orgs already embedded within the microsoft ecosystem, the native integration and compatibility provides great synergy between automations; flowing naturally through apps like Outlook, Teams, Sharepoint, Forms/Excel etc. > > **Cons**: The complexity scales upwards quite quickly when you try to build more advanced workflows. As they become more advanced more effort is dedicated to building and troubleshooting, and some scenarios can be limited by things like Connectors or licenses. As this becomes the case it starts to feel like the tradeoff for not needing technical or scripting experience becomes significantly more diminished. > > it's overall a strong choice for orgs that want to build workflow automations without reliance on code and/or already live inside of 365. It's more effectively for standard business process automation, but starts to fall apart a bit as workflows start to branch out or touch on solutions outside of 365. For simple processes it's very useful and efficient, but may need dedicated tools or knowledge for larger scale automations. ----- ### "It's good for the basics, but is still lacking key features and has lots of "quirks"" — 3.0/5 > **Zoe** | *12 June 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: What's great about Power Automate is most businesses have it already with their licenses if they already have other Microsoft Cloud offerings. Therefore it can allow you and your business to get some real basic automation up and running quickly. > > **Cons**: It's not fully mature yet and is missing a lot of key features other similar products/systems, such as Nintex, provide. For instance, if you have a few workflow actions you'd like to skip over (or not run) like sending an email every run, there's no way in Power Automate to disable that workflow action. You have to move it to the end of the workflow (however big it may be), and put a "terminate" action before it. With other products, you can "disable" that particular action and the workflow will skip right over it. Or if you change a variable name, in Power Automate you have to find it in every action and replace the old variable name with the new one. > > Power Automate allows users to get up and running quickly if they have other Microsoft Licenses already in house. THe workflow actions aren't always intuitive or straight forward, and it does take some getting used to. Power Automate as a whole lacks basic features other similar products provide. For instance, there's no "check if file exists in SharePoint" function. Instead, you have to put together roughly 3-5 workflow actions in Power Automate to see if a file exists on SharePoint whereas other products it's as simple as 1 step. ----- ### "Overall great product streamlining data collection" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like Power Automate for its ability to easily automate repetitive tasks and streamline workflows. The integration with Formstack is especially helpful for automating actions based on form submissions, saving time and reducing manual work. It also supports better task management by automatically creating and tracking tasks, helping keep work organized and on schedule. > > **Cons**: Some users find Power Automate can be difficult to troubleshoot when flows fail, as error messages aren’t always clear. Others mention limitations with complex logic, connector reliability, or performance issues with larger workflows. Licensing and premium connectors are also a common concern, as costs can add up. While powerful, it often has a learning curve for more advanced automations and task management scenarios. > > I find it can be frustrating to troubleshoot when something goes wrong, as error messages aren’t always clear. Some connectors can be unreliable, and more complex automations have a learning curve ----- ### "Quick Review on Power Automate" — 4.0/5 > **rizi** | *9 June 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Power Automate simplifies repetitive tasks with low-code automation, integrates well with Microsoft 365, and boosts productivity. > > **Cons**: Debugging complex flows can be frustrating, with limited error detail and inconsistent behavior in large workflows. > > Overall, Power Automate is a powerful tool for streamlining business processes, though it requires careful design for reliability. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/213523/microsoft-power-automate?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/213523/microsoft-power-automate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
