Comparison Results: The two solutions are very comparable. Microsoft PowerApps has slightly better ratings regarding the service and support.
"The product is very user-friendly."
"It offers integration with several Microsoft products, including SharePoint and Outlook, in my opinion, is a huge plus."
"The most valuable features are low-code and fast development."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"We like that this solution allows us to fully define our test environments, and link them using different code. This means we can do different tests, but with one basic structure, and then export the data and use it in other platforms."
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"The speed of the solution is valuable."
"I have found the technical support to be helpful."
"It is a fairly useful and user-friendly tool for salespersons. It is very extensive and flexible. You can customize it for your needs, and you can use whatever you want. I like Salesforce."
"It is very modular in approach. It is very light, and it can be used on various devices. It could be used on an Android phone or a laptop, which makes it good for the sales team on the road."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"The scalability of the Salesforce Platform is good."
"The solution is very robust and easy to develop in."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"The most valuable features are quick customization, solid deployment processes, and excellent reliability."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"We'd like more features and less to no coding."
"The documentation isn't great. It's only 75% of what you need to know. If you go beyond that and run into issues, it's really not going to help you."
"In terms of workflow automation, I believe that capabilities for creating the entire business process are required, or, at the very least, the option to model the business process, define complex business events, handle them, and route them to appropriate business stakeholders."
"The area where this product can be improved is the documentation. When we get stuck it's with the documentation when we are not able to find the codes we need."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
"I would like to see more improvement, for example, in direct collaboration."
"The flexibility and the user interface need improvement."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"Pricing is the biggest factor. The cost right now is too high and I've had a lot of clients leave."
"The reporting for Salesforce could be approved. It is a manual process and it would be useful to have a guide or videos on how to generate reports or any other cool things that you could do with the platform."
"In terms of features, for our business needs, we have more than enough right now. There is nothing that we are missing or would like to add. They can maybe share some best practices so that when you are starting, you can stick to a good process, and you don't have to think so much about the process that you want or your CEO or CMO wants. The process should not be based on one person in the company. Having some best practices will make it easier to get started. These best practices can be based on what has worked for others. Its basic version is pretty simple, and the customizations are up to the companies, which can make startups like ours lose a lot of time in figuring out what all stakeholders want rather than what would work."
"The marketing automation needs improvement."
"There needs to be more documentation."
"Reporting could be better. Reporting is Excel-based, and it has sucked since the inception of the company. That's why I was excited about the fact of them bringing MuleSoft into the fold and Tableau."
"Getting reports in Salesforce is sometimes a little bit difficult. You need to do a lot of things to get detailed reports. This feature can be improved. Its price can also be improved. It is currently expensive."
