Description
There is a lot of confusion when it comes to choosing to use Power Automate (Microsoft Flow) or Azure Logic Apps. As a result, there are a lot of opinions out there, but not many of them are objective. In this course we will deep dive on the feature sets of both technologies and then provide prescriptive guidance through real-world examples.
