Automatiser les tâches du quotidien en quelques clics

Commentaires : L'automatisation du partage par mail des pdf générés par iAuditor à une liste de destinataires, ainsi que leur enregistrement sur un SharePoint.Information automatique par mail des la clôture d'une tache dans Teams via Tâches.Incrémentation auto d'un fichier Excel lors d'informations générés dans Teams.

Avantages :

La bibliothèque de modèle pour gagner du temps aux déploiement lorsqu'on ne connait pas la solution au départ.Le nombre différents de taches réalisables (mail auto avec pdf, enregistrement sur du SharePoint, création de base d'actions, information direct lors de clôture d'actions dans tasks).

Inconvénients :

Application très complète qui peut peut freiner certaines personnes si elle n'ont pas de modèles existants pour répondre a leurs besoins.

Puissant et efficace

Avantages :

Les tutoriels et la prise en main est bien faite. À partir du moment où on sait ce qu’on veut faire il ne reste plus qu’à se laisser guider par l’outil. L’intégration avec toute la suite Microsoft est un réel plus et permet d’agrandir les possibilités d’automatisation.

Inconvénients :

Après plusieurs essais simple j’ai voulu travailler sur un cas plus complexe et surtout très particulier. Pour voir comment l’automatisation pouvait se faire. À ce moment-là, dès que c’est plus complexe, il faut faire appel à des compétences de programmation. J’ai donc demandé de l’aide à un collègue pour aller au bout de mon cas qui semblait pas aussi complexe sur le papier. Il faut donc prendre le temps d’évaluer les tâches qu’on veut automatiser avant de se lancer, sinon on risque d’être bloqué par nos compétences.

Power Automate : l’automatisation puissante pour booster votre productivité

Avantages :

La force de Power Automate réside dans la simplicité de sa mise en place. En quelques clics, il est possible de connecter entre elles plusieurs applications d’entreprise, de définir une logique métier et de déployer des flux d’approbation ou de notifications. Des modèles pré-paramétrés sont également disponibles pour accélérer le développement.

Inconvénients :

Certes, pour des projets avancés d’automatisation like-human sur des interfaces graphiques, des RPA purs auront plus de fonctionnalités. Mais pour un grand nombre de cas d’usage inter-applications, Power Automate propose le meilleur compromis entre simplicité et puissance.

Merci MS Power Automate

Avantages :

MS power automate me permet d'automatise des workflows. Ce qui me permet de gagner du temps sur les tâches répétitives.

Inconvénients :

C'est un produit complet, encore une fois de Microsoft.Rien a dire...

Le no code à votre portée

Avantages :

Outil qui permet de développer en no code assez abordable mais nécessite tout de même des belles compétences dans le domaine.

Inconvénients :

Le démarrage était assez simple pour la prise en main mais dès que ça nécessite des techniques avancées. je me suis vite retrouvé bloqué par mes compétences. Une section explications peut-être sympa.

Power Automate for Secondary School-Wide and Classroom Information

Commentaires : In 2020 when school classes first moved online or students attended on a rotating basis, the rush of posting daily lesson plans while starting video calls and managing on premise students was an unneccesary stressor. I built Flows to automate that process - automatically posting the daily lesson to Teams (as channel posts as we were required, which could not otherwise be scheduled) at the beginning of each class, retrieved from a document I updated the day before. I have since expanded the use to school wide collection and distribution of announcements (Forms > Share Point > Teams, Outlook, HTML, RSS for students, staff, website, and TV displays), scheduling of resources in our Student Services departments, and various other time-saving applications. A rough estimate would be that my automations save me approximately 45 - 60 minutes of work each day. This time can be better spent actually interacting with students, rather than clicking through tedious yet necessary tasks.

Avantages :

Power Automate has allowed me to offload some of the tedious and repetitive tasks that would otherwise take me away from my teaching duties and the time available to interact with students.

Inconvénients :

A first attempt at Power Automate can quickly show even a seasoned technically-savvy individual just how much they do not know. Thankfully, there is a well-developed online support community, both from Microsoft and others, that documents and solves many of the common (and not-so-common) issues that users have experienced in their sometimes very-detailed automations.

Powerful Automation tool but difficult to use for user not advanced in IT

Commentaires : Overall I’m satisfied with the result once I get the automations working, but I’m still considering to change to another tool for automations.

Avantages :

It allows me to reduce the amount of entries and manual managements I would normally have to do. It also allows me to configure various notifications very useful when dealing with multiple projects simultaneously.

Inconvénients :

Even if Microsoft tried to make this tool user friendly, it is still very complex to configure automations with this tool. I’ve worked with automations tool a lot less complicated and with almost the same capacities.

The customer experience has declined significantly both from a product design to customer support...

Commentaires : Automated a couple tasks but I'm struggling with several tasks on my list I cant seem to make progress on.

Avantages :

Wide and diverse platform with growing multi-functional capabilities and dynamic product development.

Inconvénients :

Unfortunately, needs to re-think and re-calibrate its business-governance, product development, marketing strategy, Customer Support, and business objectives due to recent decisions to begin charging fees on customers that want to produce their hard work in the .EXE format to run independently on a separate computer for their company or a customer. I don't believe this was the right revenue growth decision, and I believe they are feeling/will feel the pain from business customers migrating to more reliable platforms - I'm already shopping and others I know are as well. What were they thinking by charging a fee on something that the customer already paid for? ***What's next, fee for every job occurrence LOL?***. The Executive that made such bad management decision should go back to the Banking Industry. As a customer, to get more value from the product, I wouldn't mind paying a higher license upgrade fee or a upgraded Support fee, or they could make sizeable revenue from custom projects etc... there are tons of other revenue sources to tap, but charging a fee for .EXE will cause them major customer attrition - users won't upgrade to future versions because they have a new software in place. At the end of the day, users will simply pay for Python certification course and forget the growing WA bill.

Making Process Automation Accessible

Avantages :

Has enabled us to automate so many manual processes or reduce the amount of steps taken for specific processes. We currently have it setup for invoice approvals that get sent out to managers that is received and accepted within Microsoft Teams. This saves us the time from having to email it and track when it is approved as it now appears all within Approvals in teams. It can be fairly technical at times when you want to work with more complicated things preventing anyone from picking it up, but once you get it working it is great. The new integration with AI helps save time in the preliminary setup of the flows, but as expected, still needs config but saves a lot of time nonetheless.

Inconvénients :

Since the change to new UI, there are times where your old flows will not save and run unless you revert it back to the old UI.

Go for it, use it, love it!... then forget(Automate)

Commentaires : Overall I am quite happy with the ease of use for this software. I would have loved to use power automate to send emails through my Gmail to avoid using mail mergers. This is a money saving option and since most businesses actually use Microsoft Office, bundling it with Power automate saves even more.

Avantages :

The biggest pro of this software is the cost, It will cost about $10 - $15. It is however better to bundle up the power automate license with the Microsoft O365 license to avoid purchasing 2 different licenses. Having MS 365 for business allows you to automate menial/repetitive tasks and takes away the "forgetting" part of the equation when it comes to everyday tasks. This software is very easy to use, can be set up by following a template or from scratch and I recently noticed that it has a new feature that sends you a message in chat in MS teams. It integrates very well with the other MS office apps. Power automate comes with the added advantage that it is customizable in the case where big automation tasks are to be done which simplifies the process. Couple that with the numerous templates provided and you have a very useful tool for automation.

Inconvénients :

The biggest disadvantage is that power automate can only be used within the MS office environment. Would have been great if it could have been usable in the windows environment too. While using this app I also realized that large tasks are hard to automate, tasks that require multiple recipients also fail when it exceeds around 60 users and so I limit mine to about 20 at a time even if it means creating multiple flows.

Automate your workflows with ease with Microsoft Power Automate

Avantages :

One of the most impressive features of Power Automate is its ease of use. With an intuitive, user-friendly interface, you can easily create custom workflows with just a few clicks. You can also use pre-designed templates to create workflows faster and easier.Power Automate is also very flexible and can be used to automate a wide variety of workflows, such as collecting data, sending notifications, creating tasks and more. In addition, it is compatible with many popular applications and services, such as SharePoint, Dynamics 365, OneDrive, Teams and many more.

Inconvénients :

First of all, the user interface of Power Automate may seem a bit complex for new users. While the tool is designed to be easy to use, there can be a learning curve for users who are not familiar with creating automated workflows.In addition, Power Automate is a cloud service, which means that all data processed by the tool is stored on external servers owned by Microsoft. This can raise security and data privacy concerns for companies that handle sensitive data. Users should therefore be aware of this and take the necessary steps to protect their data.Finally, Power Automate is a paid tool and can be costly for small businesses or individual users who do not need extensive use of the tool. Users should therefore consider the costs associated with using the tool before deciding to adopt it.

Automation that can be a bit tough to learn, but worth the effort

Commentaires : Power Automate began as an add-on feature for Power Apps but has become a big player in our company due to all the useful ways it can be used. I feel like we have just begun in some ways as we haven't even started down the possibilities with RPA, so I am excited to see where it goes.

Avantages :

The best feature of Power Automate is that it allows an impressive amount of automation with nearly any system that you could throw at it. We have used it to generate and send reports on a weekly/monthly basis, clean system data, create documents from Power Apps, and approval workflows, such as requesting time off.

Inconvénients :

The thing that I like least about Power Automate is that it took me a long time to learn and feel comfortable using it. To be fair, there is a lot to wrap one's head around with a tool of this scope but I wish it would have been an easier process. If you can afford training, it will be worth it and you will make back every dollar spent quickly.

The tracking and monitoring of the workflow execution can be improved.

Microdoft Power Automate

Commentaires : My overall experience with Microsoft Power Automate was excellent. I integrated it with SharePoint and used it to create an automated Sales site.I used Microsoft Power Automate to automate the approval process for sales and send emails to customers directly and to managers as a receipt. I even used Microsoft Power Automate to generate automated bills to send to customers.It is a handy tool.

Avantages :

Microsoft Power Automate is highly responsive and extremely easy to use, It has the best user-friendly interface. It is easy to understand to automate the approval status and emails.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes there is a glitch in the software which results in unresponsiveness and emails which should come on completing automation doesn't occur which makes user worry about the automation process and whether it's appropriately built.

Good product destroyed by poor management and support

Commentaires : Was good until v7 was released, now refuse to do business with them

Avantages :

Easy to use, very functional, was easy to distribute but read Cons below

Inconvénients :

Like others I am so disappointed by the direction WinAutomation has taken. Was a reliable product that would easily allow you to build and compile programs to perform your automation functions - we used it in various different areas. The when v7 was released they completely forgot about their customers and came up with the horrible idea of tokens (additional purchases) for each executable you wanted to compile, and worse they tried their damnedest to hide this from their users - so many of us upgraded to version 7 only to find out that we had been hoodwinked by this new licensing policy. And then they destroyed their user community further by killing their once-active forums where users would share ideas and methodologies - first they shifted it to LinkedIn, which never worked well, and then they realised their error and brought it back to their own domain, but they removed all the historic forum posts when they realised no one was upgrading but were still communicating solutions on the older version of the product - there just was not enough new functionality in v7 and onwards for people to justify their silly licensing decision. AVOID using this product! The company is untrustworthy and has made very poor business decisions to the detriment of a large user community. And just when they were starting to get good, too - such a shame. Other products on the market are just as powerful and less expensive.

Impressive facts of Power Automate

Avantages :

Power Automate simplifies development by minimizing the need for users to write scripting languages, allowing them to focus instead on using its low-code visual interface to create workflows quickly and easily. Power Automate provides a wide variety of pre-built templates, enabling users to quickly and easily create workflows without having to start from scratch or spend time developing something from the ground up. It is a cost-effective automation tool compared to many others, which can help organizations save money on their automation investments. we can trigger different workflows at the same time. It's very easy to incorporate with other Microsoft tools.

Inconvénients :

Power Automate is a simpler and more accessible automation tool compared to others, but it may not offer the same level of advanced functionality and customization as more complex tools. Power Automate integration with other Microsoft products may restrict its compatibility with third-party software and non-Microsoft solutions, which could limit its usefulness for some users.

A strong workflow and process automation tool for M365 users

Commentaires : For businesses already anchored in the Microsoft 365 world, Power Automate is a strong platform for workflow and process automation. The integrations keep getting deeper and broader, and the tool is getting more and more powerful. Along with the rest of the Power Platform, there is little reason to look elsewhere.

Avantages :

Power Automate is easy to use, but can be leveraged for highly complex workflows and automations. The integration across the Microsoft suite is deep, and there is a growing number of external connectors.

Inconvénients :

The biggest drawback for us is the dependence on user specific connections on the various connectors. This is a great model for power-user use (which the tool is intended for) - but inevitably the scope creep happens and flows become 'business critical' - the user-centric architecture makes it tricky to maintain and utilize flows at scale.

Easy Way of Automation using Power Automate

Commentaires : An organization can have this platform as an alternative workflow solution for a higher degree. This can provide a good solution for business-critical processes, which makes them attracted towards it. Overall, easy and efficient automation can be done with the Microsoft Power Automate Platform.

Avantages :

Power Automate has every basic feature to satisfy an individual and an organization's needs such as sending reminders, getting updates from blogs, and sending emails for adding SharePoint lists.It has many connectors and independent workflow, which makes the tool easy to automate.

Inconvénients :

Licensing can be difficult for small organizations. Workflows cannot be changed once you run it.The customization of forms is not available, and workflows are not long-lasting.

Features of Power Automate

Commentaires : We have created many automation flows like triggering automate mail and sending cards to teams.

Avantages :

Using this power automation tool we can create automated workflows between different applications and services. It provides a user-friendly interface for designing and deploying these workflows, enabling businesses to streamline processes and improve productivity.

Inconvénients :

The service lacks sufficient documentation and support, making it challenging to troubleshoot issues and find solutions.

Efficiency and Productivity of Microsoft Power Automate.

Commentaires : Power Automate improve productivity and It also reduce the manual errors and effort.

Avantages :

Microsoft Power Automate provides extensive integration capabilities even with third party applications like share point, Dynamics 365 and more.

Inconvénients :

I haven't faced anything like that till now. I will update in future If I face anything.

Let's Automate It!

Commentaires : I have learned a lot using Power Automate, and I am only using the the tip of the iceberg for this program. With more training and practice, I am excited to see what this program can do for our office!

Avantages :

Anything that is reoccurring or easy to miss in our office is now Automated using Power Automate. Every morning our task list awaits. When a student submits a time off request, we get an email with a link directly to the request. We can convert all our Word Docs into PDFs in seconds! Power Automate makes our team work more efficiently!

Inconvénients :

There is a major learning curve to the program. It is not easy to just jump in and use it.

You can build virtually anything with WinAutomation!

Commentaires : WinAutomation does SQL, SFTP, IMAP and CSS selectors. You can record mouse and keystrokes to accomplish basic automation, but the real magic happens when you mix these basics with programming. The possibilities are endless. Note: The current WinAutomation upgrade process requires that you convert your working system's jobs to the new format irreversibly. If you're a new user this is not an issue, but if you rely on WinAutomation every day, the demo requires you to commit to the upgrade before verifying it works with your current jobs. I would love to try upgrading again but I need to set aside time to test, verify and fix.

Avantages :

Works great with code.

Inconvénients :

Some variables are not listed onscreen so I have to use comments above text Split for example, to easily see the variable name.

Didn't know how to code but needed to automate

Commentaires : When we purchased this, we were needing to automate many processes on the backend of our system. From file syncing and transfer to convert Log files from one format to another, we're using winautomation to automate 100+ processes a day. We've basically not had to higher another person just because of winautomation.

Avantages :

All of the features it has available.

Inconvénients :

The documentation is pitiful, which makes it VERY hard to figure out how to do some things. However, with some research time available, you can figure it out.

Powerfull RPA tooling when using Microsoft products

Commentaires : We use it on a daily basis to integrate with other MS tools. The ease of deployment and low failure rate of created workflows are pretty nice. When it comes to integrate with 3rd party tools, some other tools are more up to the job.

Avantages :

Easy to integrate with native Microsoft tools like the O365 suite, MS Exchange, MS Teams, Sharepoint with low amount of coding involved.

Inconvénients :

Large RPA tasks are more difficult to process in Power Automate. Especially when it comes to integrations with third party (not Microsoft) products.
