We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power Apps and Pega BPM based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Pega BPM comes out on top in this comparison. It has impressive automotion features, is stable, and scales easily. In contrast, some Power Apps users encounter a sluggish performance when working with heavy volumes of data.
"Ability to generate QR codes and scan barcodes."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Model-driven or Canvas application-making platforms. The power of the two gives us exactly what we are looking for."
"Power Automate has been the most valuable feature."
"The support is the most valuable feature."
"We particularly like the workflow connectors in the forms, for information introduction purposes."
"Can design apps quickly and can connect to any database."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the user interface."
"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"It's a good tool for workflow automation."
"There is a feature to accelerate the development so that business analysts can directly create their user stories and assign the task to the developers."
"Fast prototyping."
"The solution has very helpful technical support."
"The ability to define processes, build reports, and get insights or analytics on data is most valuable. It is a powerful platform."
"Pega is a local platform that has evolved from a BPM perspective. This allows teams using this solution to address complexities without having deep knowledge in a specific development area."
"Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable."
"It has to improve the threshold limit where it can handle data beyond 5000 items."
"The solution could improve by having more connectors for different solutions in a way to create custom connectors. Additionally, they should make HTTP Connectors free again because it was not always a premium feature. These HTTP connectors allow you to send API requests which can be important."
"We'd like more features and less to no coding."
"Installation and integration could be improved."
"Customization is somewhat complicated."
"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."
"I’d need more time with it. As of now, I can’t think of an area for improvement."
"The flexibility and the user interface need improvement."
"Pega currently is trying to add chatbots to their systems, and it's still quite immature. This part definitely needs to be improved."
"This is a quite expensive product."
"The UI part needs improvement."
"I believe that Pega's strategy when it comes to the UX part is not that great currently as compared to the other emerging BPM tools in the market."
"They are currently spending some time on improving the product with respect to machine learning, especially related to robotic automation. They probably could be a little more adept on that area would help."
"If it could also be integrated with robotics, it could help with a lot of things, even if we don't have APIs, we could still talk to other applications. If it could invoke a bot, for example."
"I think there is room for improvement in the low code/ no code environment that they're promoting now. That needs to be aligned a little bit more. I still feel that it is not that friendly for a person who has no experience with Pega to just go in and try to create something."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
