What's the difference between Parabola and Power Automate?

Power Automate works best for organizations already deep in the Microsoft stack—but it can be rigid, technical, and difficult to troubleshoot for non-IT users. Parabola removes that friction. With no setup or scripting required, spreadsheet-savvy teams can build, test, and deploy automations in real time. Instead of relying on IT for every update, the people closest to the process can own the workflow from end to end. And Parabola integrates with tools in the Microsoft stack so you can still pull in your core data.
