Microsoft Power Apps Valuable Features

The write-back capability right now is just SharePoint Online, however, hopefully, we'll get the funding and subscriptions so that we can get write-back to our SQL server database. Of course, this is for our analysts within business architecture so that they can maintain the metadata, the relationships, and the mappings. Those are the biggest things that we need to have analysts able to do - the research, analysis to identify what data needs to be updated for those relationships and giving them a front end, a form to go in and edit, either create rows or modify existing, whatever needs to be done to the table.

There are many things there that I like about the solution. I like the galleries, which are really powerful. I like the way that we can build forms very quickly. 

In terms of timing to develop, PowerApps is very fast. We can integrate with Power BI. You can just show the Power BI report embedded in PowerApps, and it works really nicely.

It's extremely user-friendly. It's easy to use. Of course, it's a local tool, however, if you're aware of some of the basic Microsoft products, you can really get on with it. That's something which is really wonderful. 

Even a beginner can set up a Power App and run with it. That's one of the most important features when it comes to the adoption of Power Apps.

The solution becomes easier the set up once you get used to it.

It's a stable product.

The solution has the potential to scale.

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. So, no matter which department or what technical skills a person possesses, it has become very easy to build or automate certain processes. In my company, we chose Microsoft Power Apps since it helps us with small and medium tasks like making certain processes, generating reports, and so on.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the ease of use to create an application. For example, if you use the Canvas app, there is a feature that you can upload an image, and it will easily identify it and convert it into the application.

The solution is convenient for using Power Effects so we can write customized business logic.

The solution is very straightforward. Its context is obvious and everything is easy to understand.

Everything that includes PowerApps is very interesting, especially the late editions in direction and mixed reality.

Project Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

What I find the most valuable is the simplicity to create PowerApps and link them to a list and then bring the list from SharePoint, and sharing the data in SharePoint with other people who do not need to have access to a mobile. 

Creating a PowerApp is very easy. All I do is link and share the result with my colleagues. Deployment is very fast. It takes about a month or so.

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 particularly like the workflow connectors in the forms, for information introduction purposes.

Our customers appreciate the fact that the licensing for this solution is also connected with Office 365, making it a it's less expensive overall system.

It is also very user-friendly in terms of learning curves; it can be picked up very quickly by new users and provides good interoperability between Teams, Outlook, and other solutions from Office.
