Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The support team responds fast.""The best thing about Kissflow is its user-friendliness.""I work in HR and am fond of automation. I like the tool's email automation and integration with Outlook.""The best thing is the no-code part. Even a person without experience with the coding language can easily understand and build the processes.""The most valuable feature is APIs. Its integrations are very flexible, allowing developers to connect multiple applications like DocuSign, Salesforce, OpenText, and SEB.""Kissflow is intuitive and easy to use, and I haven't faced any errors using the solution so far.""Kissflow has reduced the bottleneck around getting approval for certain items in the company.""The best thing about KiSSFLOW is that we can do virtual approvals."

"Creating a PowerApp is very easy. All I do is link and share the result with my colleagues. Deployment is very fast.""The product has good usability, in terms of low-code applications.""The initial setup is not complicated.""It allows us to provide all the information in one single place.""It is stable and reliable.""It is good for using for small apps and automation on Office stuff.""It uses a lot of AI, which is helpful, especially during the setup process.""You can easily connect Power Apps with other databases, like Excel, SharePoint, SQL, etc."

Cons
"The integration between forms should be made easier.""The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""In future releases, it would be interesting to have a repository or portal within KiSSFLOW where users can interact with the KiSSFLOW community.""There is room for improvement in terms of stability.""They should increase their marketplace with existing tools so that connections are directly through connectors instead of API integrations.""One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization.""When there are multiple steps or if there's a disconnect when creating the ticket, it could be a problem for the user.""If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome."

More KiSSFLOW Cons →

"We'd like more features and less to no coding.""We use GoCanvas to make forms. It's easier to make forms in GoCanvas, but Power Apps is cheaper because it is bundled with our Office 365 license. if I want to create a form in Power Apps, I need some knowledge, but GoCanvas is intuitive.""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.""The product could be improved by making it a production application and enabling the export of apps.""As far as dealing with SharePoint, it'll allow you to ha manage up to 2000 rows, however, performance-wise, they're recommending that you just keep it at the default of 500 rows.""In my experience, the solution's deployment can be tricky.""Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast.""Microsoft should combine both the web and the mobile environment with all of the layers of development into one package."

    Microsoft Power Apps is a rapid application development software and low-code development platform. The solution consists of a suite of apps, services, connectors, and a data platform. It provides an environment for building custom apps which is suitable for different businesses.

    Microsoft Power Apps allows users to not only build applications, but also connect them to Microsoft's other sources, including the underlying data platform Microsoft Dataverse, as well as online and on-premise sources such as SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and Microsoft 365. The applications built using Microsoft Power Apps have a responsive design that makes them suitable for work in browsers and on mobile applications on different devices.

    The no-code side of the product makes it suitable for complete beginners to app building, allowing them to easily create fully functional applications with many features. The solution also has a specialized platform for developers where specialists can access data and metadata, create custom connectors, integrate with external data, and apply business logic. The solution allows users to create three types of apps: canvas, model-driven, and portal. They are made using:

    • Power Apps Studio: Canvas apps are designed through Power Apps Studio. This app designer is suitable for complete beginners, as the app creation process resembles the building of presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint.

    • App Designer: Model-driven apps are created through App Designer. The creation process allows users to define the sitemap and add components to build the application.

    • Power Apps Portals Studio: This is a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) design tool. It is suitable for portal applications, as it allows users to add and configure web pages, forms, components, and lists.

    Microsoft Power Apps Features

    The three different design tools of the solution, Power Apps Studio, App Designer, and Power Apps Portals Studio, come with various features which allow users to utilize the tools. Some of these features include:

The data within the feature is stored among a set of entities, including a base set of standard entities as well as user-made custom ones, using Power Query. The data within CDS can be used to build apps.

    • Cloud connectivity: Microsoft Power Apps has the ability to connect with various types of cloud services. It can connect with MS CDS, as well as SQL, DropBox, and Google Drive.

    • Sharing feature: The tool has a feature for sharing built applications. Users can share the app they have created with users within the same organization as them.

    • AI automation: The tool has a feature that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI). It provides users with an AI builder and pre-built AI components to facilitate the application building process.

    • APIs feature: Microsoft Power Apps facilitates the app-building process through application program interfaces (APIs).
