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."
"There is value in being able to collect and compare information in real-time to present alternatives for correcting vulnerabilities."
"You can easily connect Power Apps with other databases, like Excel, SharePoint, SQL, etc."
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time."
"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 most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the user interface."
"We were impressed with the functionality of the solution."
"The solution works great and is stable."
"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."
"Improvements to the capturing of geographic locations and integration with maps would raise my score of the product from seven point five to its maximum of ten."
"The pricing structure needs to be improved, the current information is confusing."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"Customization is somewhat complicated."
"Installation and integration could be improved."
"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."
"It is not enough user friendly. It also doesn't integrate very well with SQL Server."
"Microsoft could streamline monitoring and management. In addition, it should be easier to put the solution in different environments. For example, you should be able to move from a dev environment to a production environment seamlessly."
