"There are a lot of different applications; you can connect PowerApps, or Flow, or Power BI to many different types of applications to interchange data."
"The flows are good because they can be used in a variety of situations."
"Microsoft PowerApps's most valuable features we found are that it's very similar to the other Microsoft products, you can do the basic automation quite quickly. The interface is similar to the other Microsoft products which makes it easy to navigate around because we are used to Microsoft products."
"The features I find the most valuable are the 365 and Microsoft applications integrations and the automation."
"Power Automate has been the most valuable feature."
"Time to market is most valuable because you can make apps pretty fast. It also has pretty good integration."
"Generating reports is very fast with Microsoft PowerApps. It's stable and scalable as well."
"The solution becomes easier the set up once you get used to it."
"A very flexible solution."
"The stability has been great."
"We used it for providing a 360 view of the customers from within Salesforce. So, a lot of data got presented there, for which we used Einstein Analytics. The Einstein Analytics dashboards were really great."
"They are already beginning to implement generative AI."
"The solution provides a preferred method of backing up data."
"One can do almost everything using Salesforce's OOTB functionality without much investment."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"The price could be lower."

"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"The solution needs a bit more refinement in general."
"Installation and integration could be improved."
"It would be good if this solution supports standard BPN operations. We are thinking of switching to a BPM solution next year because it is not a BPM solution."
"In some cases, PowerApps would have some limitations in terms of the data, the number of transactions, and so on, but for a normal solution, it would be enough."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"Better flexibility in editing emails created from templates would be great, and being able to add hyperlinks in emails for scheduling meetings would allow us to automate more."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
"Simplification is something it needs. Every time you get the engineers involved, they make things a little too complicated. It might be more beneficial to simplify everything for quick and easy reference."

"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
