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."
"For our purposes, it is quite scalable."
"The solution is very good. It's very full. You can do almost anything."
"We get feedback on a real-time basis, which is actually very useful for us."
"It is stable and reliable."
"If you want something that you can use for cellphones, multiple tablets, and things like that, you can use PowerApps for the front end. It gathers all the information, and the information goes somewhere else."
"When I am developing any user UI, it gives me complete flexibility. I can manage in any way I want."
"The cloud aspect has been great. We don't have to do a lot of research in order to begin integrations. It's so easy to integrate with other solutions."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is flexible."
"The solution's stability is fine. There are no issues with Salesforce's stability."
"The presentation is clear and easy to comprehend."
"I like it because of the fact that it lets me know what I'm working on and what I've recently worked on. It also helps me and allows me to do tracking. If I want to go out and find out how many times I've touched customers, I can find that information out. It tracks such information, and we use it. If we send any type of promotions out, it tracks who gets those promotions and how they've responded to those promotions."
"It is a great platform. It's definitely an improvement from the GCP application that we were using previously."
"Most of the apps allow you to try out the product before buying it. The trial period depends on the product and varies from a week to 30 days."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"The editor in the Web browser could be improved because it can be difficult to implement the commands in the buttons."
"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."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities in the future."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"The solution must provide more integration with third-party applications."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see custom APIs, better integration with other solutions, and more connectors available."
"Technical support could be faster, and more accurate."
"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."
"When we're documenting information such as notes, and so forth, if we were to go back to the same case all notes go missing."
"Salesforce Platform operates as a cloud system, and within our organization, numerous internal systems handle data processing. While real-time data retrieval is feasible through services, achieving real-time communication poses some challenges."
"They should provide access to data quality tips and tricks to make it better."
"The integration of Salesforce with other solutions could be improved."
"The reporting functionality is not very intuitive."
"Salesforce also did not integrate well with some of the other systems that we had."
"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."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
