Microsoft Power Apps Reviews

We are currently piloting the solution, we are checking it with our workflow.

We were impressed with the functionality of the solution.

The pricing structure needs to be improved, the current information is confusing.

I have been using the solution for a few months.

The install is not a problem at all, it did not take very much time.

We did the deployment and we have a few employees for maintenance. 

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.

We are considering other products at this time because of the cost.

We have just started using the product, it is unclear if we will continue to use it after taking into account the unclear pricing structure.

I rate Microsoft PowerApps a seven out of ten.

We did a POF with Microsoft PowerApps and we used it for simple automation tasks.

The solution has not helped our organization. Since we moved away from Microsoft PowerApps from the bugs and I'm not sure if it's improved. When I look at the developer community, it's still buggy, there are some issues. It's not consistent when you are working with applications. If I work with the same application, it gives me a different choice every time. It doesn't give you the same choice of how to interact with the application.

Microsoft PowerApps's most valuable features we found are that it's very similar to the other Microsoft products, you can do the basic automation quite quickly. The interface is similar to the other Microsoft products which makes it easy to navigate around because we are used to Microsoft products.

Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate.

In the next release of Microsoft PowerApps, they should add IDP and a control room.

I have been using Microsoft PowerApps for two months.

Microsoft PowerApps is not stable.

Microsoft PowerApps is not scalable. When compared to the other solutions that we've worked with, it's scalable. Everyone can build their own automation and there isn't a single repository where you can share or make sure that you're using the same automation. Everyone builds their own version of the same automation it's inefficient and at the same time, it is not scalable because if one thing breaks, you have to go update every process that you've automated.

In terms of support, there isn't much support compared to UiPath, Blue Prism, or Automate Anywhere. There is not a lot of documentation, training, or community support. People are starting to use Microsoft PowerApps, but by the time it catches up, it'll be a while.

I rate the support of Microsoft PowerApps a three out of five.

We had six people for the maintenance of the processes used in Microsoft PowerApps.

I have evaluated many other solutions.

My advice to others wanting to implement Microsoft PowerApps, they should do research on the connectors that are available compared to the competition. This will speed up the time to their end goal because Microsoft doesn't have many. The general support documentation that is available on using the tool, compare them with the other solutions to make a decision on what solution to use. They don't have many resources yet that are qualified in Microsoft PowerApps or Microsoft Power Automate.

I rate Microsoft PowerApps a four out of five.

Microsoft PowerApps needs a lot of fixes and improvements, and the competition is way far ahead compared to Microsoft at the moment.

The usability, in terms of low-code applications, is a feature we have found most valuable. We just do development and then distribution.

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.

We have been using Microsoft PowerApps for around two years.

So far, the product has shown stability.

The product is scalable.

I am making use of the product in my own company.

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

Our primary use case of this solution is for when we're integrating something and need to extract some data. We use PowerApps to extract the data and create our own module inside PowerApps and create our own app. We extract data and integrate it with PowerApps.

It's very easy to build an app using this solution. It's easier than with other tools. 

I think installation and integration could be improved. It's tricky compared to other tools. 

I've been using this solution for a month or so.

We are a small company and only have four or five people using this solution. 

When it comes to installation, we need to install a gateway and integrate between two tools, for example, PowerApps and Power Virtual Agents, Deployment is a little complicated. The data is available in Google but it's a little difficult.

Licensing is on a monthly basis. 

We tried a lot of other products before choosing PowerApps and we found Microsoft to be easier to use. 

I would recommend this solution. Microsoft is a large company and the product has good features. We plan to migrate all our tools to Microsoft in the future. 

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.

We use Microsoft PowerApps to get insight into the business. We use it for BI.

The initial setup should be improved. It could be easier.

Technical support could be faster, and more accurate.

I have been working with Microsoft PowerApps for the last year. My experience is limited but I do use it from time to time.

Most of the time, Microsoft PowerApps is stable.

I have no issues with the scalability of Microsoft PowerApps. For our purposes, it is quite scalable.

At this time, I don't have any issues with technical support. It can however take some time if you launch a service request, but most of the time, it is resolved within the expected time.

We also work with Microsoft 365.

The initial setup is moderately complex.

Microsoft PowerApps is expensive, but there are many features included.

They think about how they will set it up before beginning to ensure they select suitable use cases.

I would rate Microsoft PowerApps a seven out of ten.

I have encountered numerous challenging use cases with Microsoft Power Apps, primarily in HR or operations and management. Most of the projects rely on document uploads and approval levels. I have implemented all these logics using Microsoft Power Apps.

Two essential features of Microsoft Power Apps are the user experience and the development area. It is easy to build an application within a few hours or a few days, even with complex requirements. With Microsoft Power Apps, there are three different areas: Canvas, Model Driven, and Power Pages. Power Pages, previously known as Power Portal, has been moved into a separate module. Canvas Apps provide complete user design flexibility with many connectors to integrate into Microsoft Power Apps, making it efficient to fetch and update information from various data sources such as Dataverse, Excel, SharePoint, and Azure. This helps in building applications with less effort, as it offers plenty of connectors. It is compatible with Outlook, Gmail, and Office 365 users.

Improvements needed for Microsoft Power Apps include addressing the delegation issue. Currently, we have a restriction to load almost two thousand records when connecting directly with a data source. While there are non-delegable functions available, they require filtering and categorizing the data before bringing it into the application. It would be beneficial if Microsoft could increase this limit, as, in many use cases, applications might require importing data exceeding two thousand records, potentially reaching one hundred thousand. Additionally, integrating Power BI features like charts and analytics directly into Microsoft Power Apps would be advantageous. This would eliminate the need for separate integration and allow handling everything within a single platform.

I have been working with Microsoft Power Apps for probably three years.

Overall, I would rate the stability of Microsoft Power Apps 9.5 out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of Microsoft Power Apps as eight out of ten. It is quite scalable, though there are some limitations regarding the number of records, as mentioned previously.

I would rate the customer service from Microsoft as eight out of ten. A few months ago, I contacted support for an issue, but the response time was longer than expected.

Positive

The initial setup of Microsoft Power Apps is quite easy. Users just need to share the application, and the respective user will be notified via email for easy access. Compared to other platforms, managing applications with Microsoft Power Apps does not require much effort.

I would rate the pricing of Microsoft Power Apps a six out of ten. It is in the middle range and considered reasonable given the current price.

I do not see any competitors capable of providing a solution like Microsoft Power Apps in the industry. While UiPath offers an application-oriented tool, I have not used it much, so I cannot provide an informed comparison. However, when compared to Microsoft, I believe Microsoft would lead the industry.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Power Apps nine out of ten. I recommend it to any organization, regardless of size. Digitalization is happening worldwide, and it's compatible with both Windows and mobile devices. This makes it cost-efficient and flexible for designing applications to suit one's needs.
