Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When compared with Microsoft Power Automate, it is a bit more mature, and we're able to build things pretty rapidly."
"When I am developing any user UI, it gives me complete flexibility. I can manage in any way I want."
"Overall the solution is reliable."
"The speed of the solution is valuable."
"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."
"It is very easy for us to implement. We have a Microsoft ecosystem, and this solution has many components for integration."
"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."
"I would say that the most valuable features are the user interface, navigation, and business routes."
"Now Platform's best features are collaboration, configurability, and customizability."
"The product's most advantageous feature is platform innovation."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"ServiceNow can document and produce a historical working tool that deals with projects themselves. The user interface is another strong suit."
"The workflow feature really has a lot of value because you can create complex workflows in a simple, intuitive way with only a few clicks."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"ServiceNow Now Platform is quite useful, scalable, and flexible. The user interface is very good."
"What I like most about the ServiceNow Now Platform is the flexibility of using JavaScript. I also like that the platform allows custom scripting, server-side scripting, and client-side scripting. Another valuable feature in the ServiceNow Now Platform is the Flow Designer which allows dragging and dropping code, and low code activities."
"Microsoft PowerApps is not responsive in nature."
"We use GoCanvas to make forms. It's easier to make forms in GoCanvas, but Power Apps is cheaper because it is bundled with our Office 365 license. if I want to create a form in Power Apps, I need some knowledge, but GoCanvas is intuitive."
"The price could be lower."
"The stability of this solution could be better."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities in the future."
"The product could be improved by making it a production application and enabling the export of apps."
"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 solution could improve by having more connectors for different solutions in a way to create custom connectors. Additionally, they should make HTTP Connectors free again because it was not always a premium feature. These HTTP connectors allow you to send API requests which can be important."
"The initial setup requires a lot of customization based on the individual company's processes."
"The pricing model is complex and needs to be both lowered and simplified."
"What I didn't like in the ServiceNow Now Platform is testing, particularly with Visual Studio. It had a bad integration with Visual Studio because you can't compile and run it from there. You have to debug on your own and then find out where the error is through test scripts. The testing component in the ServiceNow Now Platform isn't that great. What I'd like to see in the next version of the ServiceNow Now Platform is an improvement in testing and writing scripts, and if there was a feature to just run it from the modules, then that would be great, instead of finding the error manually and checking where it is."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The UI and mobile UI need to be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, the product's complicated initial setup phase can be made a bit easier."
"The UI is very bad and needs to be updated."
"The basic reporting system is rather static."
