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.
Marjolein Pordon - PeerSpot reviewer
Low-code platform needs knowledge of coding and best practices to make it work best.
This is not a stable solution. When work has been done on screen A, for example, this has lead to a downfall in screen B. This has occurred even when there appears to be connection between the two. This is mostly happening because developers are not using of are not aware of best practices within platforms. It's like Excel. I can make a lot in Excel, but if my calculations are wrong, it's me that is in the fault, not Excel.

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is automized processes."
"The initial setup is very simple."

Cons

"I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution."
"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
"The price could be lower."

"Microsoft PowerApps is not responsive in nature."
"Microsoft is not cheap. The pricing could be lowered for their customers."
"This solution could be more user-friendly and involve less code. It requires a lot of SQL knowledge and programming. It is not a drag and drop solution."
