Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If you want something that you can use for cellphones, multiple tablets, and things like that, you can use PowerApps for the front end. It gathers all the information, and the information goes somewhere else."
"The scalability is good."
"I can have a SharePoint list and connect with users through PowerApps to present the information."
"We particularly like the workflow connectors in the forms, for information introduction purposes."
"The solution is very good. It's very full. You can do almost anything."
"The most valuable feature is automized processes."
"The most valuable feature is the compatibility with other Microsoft components."
"For our purposes, it is quite scalable."
"What I like most about the ServiceNow Now Platform is the flexibility of using JavaScript. I also like that the platform allows custom scripting, server-side scripting, and client-side scripting. Another valuable feature in the ServiceNow Now Platform is the Flow Designer which allows dragging and dropping code, and low code activities."
"The tool helps to automate IT service management processes. It's the market-leading technology. It can provide the company with chatbots and a unique process or workflow orchestration. It can be customized to the customer's specific needs, enabling semi-automatic or full automation processes. It integrates fully with SAP and offers a wide range of advantages for both us and our clients."
"At this point, over and above what ServiceNow actually is, the key is that it's really nothing but a web service. Whether it's a form or anything, the best part is that you can easily leverage anything of ServiceNow for any application anywhere just by calling the REST endpoints and handling the request messages."
"The integration with other tools is pretty good."
"The level of automation within the platform is great."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution."
"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."
"ServiceNow offers a lot of features when it comes to IT service management and IT operations management. What interested me in ServiceNow was that a lot of service management."
"The solution could improve by having more connectors for different solutions in a way to create custom connectors. Additionally, they should make HTTP Connectors free again because it was not always a premium feature. These HTTP connectors allow you to send API requests which can be important."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution."
"I recommend improving Microsoft Power Apps' licensing model. I've encountered challenges related to licensing complexity, which has led some customers to opt for traditional solution development and deployment methods instead."
"The set up of the solution could be simpler."
"When it comes to PowerApps, debugging can be difficult at times. It would be beneficial to simplify it."
"It's easy to use."
"The solution needs a bit more refinement in general."
"The integration towards other ERP systems could be improved."
"The UI and mobile UI need to be improved."
"It's not quick or cheap."
"The solution’s AI and NLP features could be improved."
"The UI is not intuitive."
"The price is a bit high and can be a bit of a barrier for some customers."
"It is still difficult to build a set of services in ServiceNow. It can be done, but it is one of the more difficult things to do. If we're talking about scalability, we're talking about the ability to actually build that set of services a little easier."
"The programming language is currently limited to JavaScript. So I would like to see more programming languages available, especially since they have come up with the machine-learning features. Some more languages would be an additional improvement."
