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.
"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."
"We get feedback on a real-time basis, which is actually very useful for us."
"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."
"There is value in being able to collect and compare information in real-time to present alternatives for correcting vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The solution is very straightforward. Its context is obvious and everything is easy to understand."
"In Microsoft PowerApps the most valuable features are the fully customizable design that we can control everything that we would like to control. For example, the integration between Microsoft and third-party services through pre-built connectors, and the functionality to create custom connectors."
"Flexibility, easy setup, and fairly quick results are valuable features of the product."
"The ability to define processes, build reports, and get insights or analytics on data is most valuable. It is a powerful platform."
"This is a customizable product."
"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"The solution offers excellent workflows."
"When our clients automate the KYC and onboarding processes, they can reduce their manual force and then deploy them in much better tasks rather than the mundane activities of selecting forms and gathering information."
"The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick setup. Nowhere else you can create a good-looking application this quick. It's a fairly robust system."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows users to split the opportunity into separate logs for each product."
"When we talk of integrating with external applications, that's one area where, even today, I had to loop in my code developers. If this area can be streamlined so that my techno-functional consultants, who are on-site, can immediately start working on something without the assistance of developers, that would be ideal."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
"Microsoft is not cheap. The pricing could be lowered for their customers."
"The solution must provide more integration with third-party applications."
"The flexibility and the user interface need improvement."
"Pega's technical support could be better."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"Business specific functionality is needed."
"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."
"Compared to other BPM products, the interface is somewhat complex, so the usability could be improved."
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
"Sometimes when we are patching some data from the database, we are getting added as a timeout."
