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 most valuable feature is automized processes."
"We have integrated data from external systems without facing any significant challenges."
"The solution is very good. It's very full. You can do almost anything."
"Microsoft PowerApps allows you to simplify business processes and user experience. You can also create responsive applications and canvas apps through this solution. It's an easy to scale, stable, and low-code solution."
"It is very easy for us to implement. We have a Microsoft ecosystem, and this solution has many components for integration."
"For all no-code platforms that let you create a front end, you can click together something very quick."
"We were impressed with the functionality of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the compatibility with other Microsoft components."
 

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."
"The fact that we couldn't share that with our other organization or outside of the organization, consisting of our colleagues in the joint ventures, was a weakness of the solution."
"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"It is not enough user friendly. It also doesn't integrate very well with SQL Server."
"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 product could be improved by making it a production application and enabling the export of apps."
"The documentation isn't great. It's only 75% of what you need to know. If you go beyond that and run into issues, it's really not going to help you."
"I would like to have more options for changing the layout because customizing something as simple as colors is very hard."
"An integration of Copilot options within Microsoft Power Apps would be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, Power Apps is cost-efficient."
"Microsoft Power Apps is not an expensive solution."
"The product is inexpensive."
"Pricing for this solution is completely based on user requirement. If your requirement is simple or less complex, then the basic licensing model can work, e.g. the free model, or else, you need to go for the premium features or premium model."
"For me, it was free to develop with a professional license, which is about 70 euros a month."
"The enterprise-level costs a great deal of money, and you have to purchase additional licenses to scale it."
"Usually, the free licenses of Power Apps come to normal corporate users for free...For normal users within a corporate firm with licenses, it's totally favorable."
