Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."
"It offers integration with several Microsoft products, including SharePoint and Outlook, in my opinion, is a huge plus."
"You can easily connect Power Apps with other databases, like Excel, SharePoint, SQL, etc."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"Overall, the tool is very democratic. It's easy for anyone to use. You don't have to be a professional or well-versed in technology."
"Can design apps quickly and can connect to any database."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"For all no-code platforms that let you create a front end, you can click together something very quick."
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."
"This tool doesn't have an internal database. It only relies on the data layer of Microsoft Cloud."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities in the future."
"The notion people have is that no code equals no knowledge, and that's simply not true. Even though you don't have to write codes, you still have to know what you're doing."
"The availability of templates needs to be improved. I understand that the ecosystem around it is still developing, but we need more templates. I would like the entire ecosystem around it to improve. I would recommend adding AI components. Even though we can always connect to Azure for AI components, they should slowly start looking at adding some AI components to PowerApps so that out-of-the-box learning can be applied to process flows. Salesforce has the Einstein layer that works along with license platforms. PowerApps should also have something similar."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see custom APIs, better integration with other solutions, and more connectors available."
"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."
"I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution."
"It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows users to split the opportunity into separate logs for each product."
