Cons
"It can have customizations like enterprise solutions. In the approval section, there should be an option to reassign approval to some other employee. It would be good if we are able to create custom tables by linking to an item, and there is an integration with the HTML table through HTTP calls or Swagger connectors.""How long it takes to deploy will depend on how confident you are with your development. The development itself is not easy.""Inability to use a lot of connectors without having a premium license.""Microsoft shouldn't charge extra for the database license if you want to store the data in the database during the trial. We wanted to have a historical trend of the data, and we started with the trial version of the tool. The database license is not included with the trial version, and you have to purchase it separately. Because we had a budget constraint, we had to pull all the information manually from the system, massage it, and push it to the dashboard. About two months ago, we have upgraded to the full-fledged version in which the database is integrated. The database license should be there in the trial version, but they have totally decoupled it. They should have provided a bundle, at least for the trial version, so that once a person or a firm gets a sense of it, they can start building. It might be because they wanted to sell additional licenses or premium licenses, and that's why they have added it in the premium version. It should have more cognitive features. Automation Anywhere and UiPath are different because they have cognitive functionality plus intelligent automation. The cognitive functionality is currently not there in Microsoft Power Automate. It is just for workflow automation and basic bot-level tasks. It should have more cognitive features, which probably will be launched in a couple of years.""Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow.""The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities.""Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues.""I've had some issues with the stability."

"Nintex RPA is not suitable for PDF automation.""Further simplifying the low-code development process can attract a broader user base by making automation accessible to those with minimal technical skills.""There could be some features to fix compatibility issues with firmware."
