Jan 29, 2026
I have been a user of Microsoft Power Automate for the past 6 months. It has helped me automate repetitive tasks with ease and reduce my workload efficiently. Ability to integrate well with M365 components makes the job a lot easier.

“Power Automate Offers Easy Entry But Limited Built-In Regex Functionality”

3.0
Sep 4, 2025
Within the scope of Power Automate specifically - it is a flexible, low/no code solution for process automation, however, it lacks some functionality out of the box that can be frustrating, like support for RegEx

Power Automate Likes & Dislikes

Like

Availability of numerous connectors, ability to integrate well with M365 and the low-code easy to build workflows

Like

The biggest strength is how easy it is to jump in and start - there are a ton of resources in the form of knowledgebases and moderated community support - it is rare that i can't find something on the topic i'm taking on

Like

- Dynamic contents from previous actions - Microsoft Power Plarform suite connectors - Speed and accuracy

Dislike

little bit cumbersome to debug especially when external connector issues arise

Dislike

For my purposes, needing 3rd party support for basic functions like Regex is frustrating.

Dislike

- Difficult to manage - 30 day time out - Can't create folders to store the flows

Any Automation CoE's that centralized enterprise RPA (ex: UiPath or AA) and low-Code automation (ex: MS Power Automate)  platforms as part of their organizations?  What were the primary drivers for organizing this way?  Benefits?
Program Director, Intelligent Automation + Entrepreneur
I have tried to decentralize RPA, but it's really difficult since to build them you need a software development background, it takes a month of training, and you need to be continuously building to keep one's skillset honed. RDA on the other hand is great to democratize.

    Platform Eases Workflow Automation But Faces Performance Issues With Large Tasks

    3.0
    Aug 29, 2025
    My overall experience has been positive. It is a user friendly and effective platform that I have used to simplify the data driven workflows. The drag and drop interface allows anyone to create complex automations easily without much coding experience. It provides various connectors to connect to different Microsoft sources and gather data efficiently, which has helped me to perform meaningful analysis.
