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

"Issue tracking and centralized issue management are significantly enhanced with Power Apps, reducing lengthy data consolidation processes across departments."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Time to market is most valuable because you can make apps pretty fast. It also has pretty good integration."
"The solution is very straightforward. Its context is obvious and everything is easy to understand."
"The speed of the solution is valuable."
"Support is excellent. I would rate it a ten."
"For all no-code platforms that let you create a front end, you can click together something very quick."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the user interface."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"The portal and canvas apps need to be improved and brought up to speed."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
"Sometimes, refreshing the application takes time, which can be a stability issue."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate Microsoft's customer service or technical support around a three. I find it's better to read forum posts than to call the support staff at Microsoft."
"The pricing structure needs to be improved, the current information is confusing."
"We would like to see some improvement in the cost of the solution when an organization has a more complex network structure. The advanced connectors are very expensive, which discourages our customers from implementing it."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Power Apps is not an expensive solution."
"We use the Office 365 package, and Microsoft PowerApps is a part of the package. We don't pay any separate price for this. There are no additional costs. We just pay for the Office 365 package."
"Typically, it's $20 per user, per month, commercial. For the government, on a per user basis, what we were looking at is $11.23 per month."
"There are areas of Microsoft PowerApps that can be improved. For example, the license policies are expensive to purchases the premium connectors. If a company would like to use the premium features, they have to pay a lot of money. The Microsoft PowerApps portal could be easier to use when there are a lot of external users because if a company has 1,000 external users, it is too expensive to use the Microsoft PowerApps portal."
"The tool is neither cheap nor expensive. The tool's cost is manageable."
"Power Apps is relatively cheap compared to other low-code and no-code systems like OutSystems and Mendix."
"The enterprise-level costs a great deal of money, and you have to purchase additional licenses to scale it."
"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."
