Featured Reviews

Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.
Guhan Eshwar - PeerSpot reviewer
Building tools with user-friendly interfaces abut needs integration improvements
An integration of Copilot options within Microsoft Power Apps would be useful. In UiPath apps, there is an autopilot function that uses a generative AI model, which creates layouts and connects data services automatically with a prompt. Such integration would be beneficial to build basic frameworks that can be enhanced. This would assist business process users who lack coding knowledge.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"The features I find the most valuable are the 365 and Microsoft applications integrations and the automation."
"The most valuable features are low-code and fast development."
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"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."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"We were impressed with the functionality of the solution."
"The solution is very straightforward. Its context is obvious and everything is easy to understand."
"The initial setup was very easy."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see custom APIs, better integration with other solutions, and more connectors available."
"The flexibility and the user interface need improvement."
"I would like to have more options for changing the layout because customizing something as simple as colors is very hard."
"Improvements needed for Microsoft Power Apps include addressing the delegation issue."
"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 tool could be easier to use. While providers focus on low-code, the options are often dropdowns."
"Can be improved to cater to complex developments."
"Improvements to the capturing of geographic locations and integration with maps would raise my score of the product from seven point five to its maximum of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It depends on the subscription of Office 365 that customers have. With some subscriptions, it's possible to use PowerApps."
"Our enterprise contract with Microsoft Power Apps includes the application feature platform in our subscription package, so we are not incurring any extra expenses. All of our other subscriptions are also part of our license agreement."
"We would advise organizations that this solution has a high-price point. However, the cost is justified for how comprehensive the package is, and all components of the solution are available under the standard license plan; there are no hidden costs involved."
"The pricing is too expensive and the licensing system is complicated. There are many pages of instruction on how to do the calculations for the price."
"Whatever the cost of licensing is, it is in the millions."
"The pricing is complicated to understand."
"The company has a subscription where you can use certain features for free, but there are features that require a premium subscription to use."
"In terms of pricing, Power Apps is cost-efficient."
