Microsoft Power Automate product overview
What is Microsoft Power Automate?
Microsoft Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow) is a cloud-based workflow automation solution which enables the creation and management of simple and complex workflows to automate tasks and processes across multiple services or applications. The platform, which has built-in AI capabilities, is aimed at both "Citizen Integrators" within enterprise organizations, and IT decision makers wanting to delegate workflow creation to line-of-business partners. The platform allows users to streamline repetitive tasks and paperless processes, offering seamless integration with other products - including Salesforce - using hundreds of prebuilt connectors. The ability to manage an on-premise data gateway allows connection to both on-premise and cloud data.
Key benefits of using Microsoft Power Automate
• Microsoft Power Automate provides a flow template library for users to select from and either use directly, or customize to their needs.
• Recurring flows can be scheduled to perform single or multiple tasks once every minute, hour, or day, on a specified date, or after a defined number of minutes, hours, or days.
• Automated workflows can be created to process approvals for requests or documents, with email notifications for approvers, and all approval requests accessible through a unified approvals center.
• Data loss prevention (DLP) can be used to define which connectors can access or share business data, to prevent sensitive data from being published.
• The native iOS and Android apps allow users to create automated workflows, generate and share buttons which trigger workflows with a tap, and receive push notifications for flow activity.

The ability to automate nearly everything in your business processes is the biggest pro for Power Automate. Built in connectors for all of the Microsoft products and many 3rd party software mean that you can connect processes together like never before. There is very little technical knowledge needed to operate and create the flows but the power that the user gets is amazing.
I least liked the fact that in order to use some of the connectors, such as MS SQL, you need to purchase a premium license - this is something that should have been provided out of the box.

Overall pretty good. Quick learning curve if you have even the most basic background in programming. You can implement powerful automated tools that could cut down a lot of manual processing for your organization. I was able to build a solution to replace/replicate a CRM tool (that costed us 6 figures to maintain) using power automate to piece together various other MS office applications together...
Power automate has a pretty easy to use graphical user interface to click and drag functions together to build an automated workflow. Can be scaled and implemented quite quickly within your organization. Also connects to a lot of existing microsoft products/ecosystem so it could automate a lot of desktop procedures for any organization that uses microsoft (which is a majority of large scale orgs). I like the pre-built automated templates you can use, and the access to third party templates (some cost additional money) that automate various desktop procedures for you. Also has advanced AI/ML analytics/functional capabilities.
Customer support is okay/pretty trash - it involves searching/posting in their forums and hoping someone has the same issues as you for answers. Essentially I had to figure out how to use most of the functionality myself because of the lack of guides/training available for this compared to other tools. Also get a lot of random unexplained glitches with flows i've already built but haven't touched...

Automated workflows. Streamlined repetitive tasks and actions. Reduce process execution and processing time. Reduce costs related to personnel dedicated to these tasks.
Using it requires time and some basic knowledge.

Inicialmente probamos Power Automate para automatizar aplicaciones de escritorio. Al principio es fácil e intuitivo, pero a medida que el proceso se hizo más complejo, se hizo muy difícil el poder retroceder versiones o hacer pruebas. No poder contar con control de versiones GIT, por ejemplo, nos impide dar un buen mantenimiento profesional.
Es gratis para usuario de Windows. No se necesita aprender otro lenguaje de programación más.
-No hay control de versiones. -No se puede volver a estados del desarrollo anteriores. -No hay control sobre el código fuente. -Extremadamente difícil de mantener para procesos de complejidad media y alta. -No se puede exportar el código fuente.

I usually integrate Microsoft Power Automate with Office 365 and Microsoft Power Apps. It saves time and effort, supports team collaboration on the cloud, increases productivity, and helps my team organize day-to-day work. For instance, It distributes customers' email requests received on Outlook to the corresponding department's mailbox, sends attached files to a shared folder on OneDrive, and instantly notifies team members of the up-to-date status of the requests. Microsoft Power Automate keeps our work organized, aligned, informed, and responsive to customers' needs.
Microsoft Power Automate facilitates the workflows all over the company. It has seamless integrations with the commonly used business applications, especially within the Microsoft environment. It's a no-code/low-code solution that allows business users to automate repetitive tasks, organize document flow, manage the data flow, and set up customized notifications to keep everyone informed. Power Automate allows for synchronous and asynchronous dataflow and connects desktop Applications (on-premises) with cloud applications in one productive workflow.
Power Automate works well within the Microsoft ecosystem, but it doesn't integrate well with applications outside. Also, the App documentation/troubleshooting is geared toward IT professionals more than business users.
