Comparison Results: The two solutions are very comparable. Microsoft PowerApps has slightly better ratings regarding the service and support.
"I have found the technical support to be helpful."
"I would say that it's a very advanced product because it empowers people to do simple things, which previously may have required people to have some technical skills."
"The platform has valuable features for opportunity and finance management. It has all the essential features for customer service."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"Can design apps quickly and can connect to any database."
"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 features are low-code and fast development."
"Marketing and Sales Lead, Forecasting, Campaign management."
"It's very flexible and offers tremendous features for customers."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"When compared to Siebel, the Salesforce Platform is easier to use."
"A very flexible solution."
"We haven't had any issues with stability so far."
"A fully integrated solution that provides a seamless experience."
"Microsoft PowerApps is not intended for customizing what's generated in a major way."
"In my experience, the solution's deployment can be tricky."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
"I would like to have more options for changing the layout because customizing something as simple as colors is very hard."
"If the price was reduced and the quality of the user interfaces was improved it would be beneficial."
"Can be improved to cater to complex developments."
"I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution."
"The editor in the Web browser could be improved because it can be difficult to implement the commands in the buttons."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"The initial setup process was a complex thing to do because four different organizations were working together."
"Instead of creating our own template, if we had some nice templates that we could pick up - if there were some Microsoft Word templates or Microsoft Excel templates in a repository in Salesforce, that would be great."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"It is quite expensive. It has gotten to that point where it is a lot more pricey. It has kind of got its own proprietary language for development. It is probably never going to change, but if it had a more market language for development, it would be easier to find developers. They come at a premium cost, so it is expensive."
"Although the platform is already set up for you, there's a lot of customization that needs to be done, especially for any new component we start using. For whatever solution we wanted, we had to think for ourselves and design it all on our own. And, unfortunately, there were some components that were not really mature in the beginning, like Tableau for example."
