We performed a comparison between Microsoft PowerApps and Salesforce Platform based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: The two solutions are very comparable. Microsoft PowerApps has slightly better ratings regarding the service and support.
"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 UI functionality is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"It allows us to provide all the information in one single place."
"As a business person, I design a lot of screens. The solution really resonates with me. Their design is amazing."
"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."
"The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time."
"I like the galleries, which are really powerful."
"When I am developing any user UI, it gives me complete flexibility. I can manage in any way I want."
"The Salesforce Platform's most valuable features are everything in one place, perfect reporting, highly customizable, and easy to receive information you need."
"The entire solution is very customizable and you are able to add many functionalities."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the CRM. Salesforce Platform comes with out-of-the-box capabilities."
"Its stability, performance, and usability are most valuable."
"The keyword search helps me in finding stuff quickly. So, I don't have to click around a lot."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate Salesforce Platform's technical support a ten out of ten."
"Salesforce is the best one out there."
"The most valuable features of the Salesforce Platform are the ability to manage customers' data, many report filtering options, and consolidation."
"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 scalability of the solution could improve."
"We would like to see the period for viewing executions within this solution to be extended beyond its current limit of 28 days. We would prefer to be able to offer our customers an infinite amount of history to search."
"Technical support could be faster, and more accurate."
"It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows users to split the opportunity into separate logs for each product."
"It has to improve the threshold limit where it can handle data beyond 5000 items."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"There is room for improvement with the amount of code required to implement the expense classification app."
"The general reports could be made easier in the Salesforce Platform. Generating needs extensive training to know the exact structure of the design. Whenever you search for something you need to know what are the exact fields that you need to view. It's not an easy process to learn."
"If you have resellers or distributors, you just need to figure out a way to set up the system in the backend. Since every company is different, it takes a little bit of time to figure that out."
"Simplification is something it needs. Every time you get the engineers involved, they make things a little too complicated. It might be more beneficial to simplify everything for quick and easy reference."
"It could be maybe a bit more user-intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement since, right now, I am not sure if Salesforce Platform has any plans for start-ups or small businesses."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
