Comparison Results: PowerApps is the winner in this comparison. According to its reviewers, it is flexible and easy to use. In addition, it has a proven ROI.
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server. This makes the application readily accessible, and the response time will be much better."
"The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"The solution overall is very good."
"The primary and standout feature is ease of deployment."
"The product is scalable."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"The solution is very simple to set up."
"The solution can scale."
"Overall the solution is reliable."
"We were impressed with the functionality of the solution."
"As a business person, I design a lot of screens. The solution really resonates with me. Their design is amazing."
"When compared with Microsoft Power Automate, it is a bit more mature, and we're able to build things pretty rapidly."
"It's a very workable solution because it's an automated way of making applications. You have a template, you have the application know-how,"
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of the concept. It is not restricted by where you are allowed to use it and that is its greatest strength."
"The model that allows you to establish flow automation is getting a lot of traction from the customer side. It offers a lot of flexibility."
"The solution is very good. It's very full. You can do almost anything."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
"It would be fantastic if Microsoft morphed after my exit service, removing it from subscriptions and moving it to different regions, especially for that service."
"The setup is complex if you have no experience."
"Microsoft Azure App Service has a lot of complexity because there are a lot of options and functionality. It is simple to become confused, there are many technical elements to learn before you can utilize the solution. If they could make the solution easier to use it would be a benefit."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions."
"The solution is somewhat expensive."
"There is still room for improvement in terms of the maturity of the solution. Everything is available that we need, but the issue is that they are still upgrading. Even though they have Azure applications and automation services, they still need to mature more. There are many things that need to mature and the road map for this is quite long, taking another three to eight years to have a mature solution."
"The price could be lower."
"I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution."
"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."
"We would like to see some improvement in the cost of the solution when an organization has a more complex network structure. The advanced connectors are very expensive, which discourages our customers from implementing it."
"We would like to see the period for viewing executions within this solution to be extended beyond its current limit of 28 days. We would prefer to be able to offer our customers an infinite amount of history to search."
"PowerApps can't do a lot of things that users need now. For example, it can't handle signatures."
"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."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
