Featured Reviews

Hans De Groot - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.
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

"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"I like the solution's ability to approve some tasks electronically."
"The flows are good because they can be used in a variety of situations."
"Microsoft Power Apps has helped us handle our fairly complex invoices, including filing and reviewing them manually. We’re working towards automating our invoice processing, labeling them according to organization accounts, and developing an entirely digital workflow. The tool uses customizable AI models for your organization's documents, so it supports AI-driven projects well."
"Power Apps is user-friendly and allows easy application creation without extensive programming experience."
"If you're using Microsoft Power Apps to connect to a SharePoint list and create a quick form for business users, it's highly effective."
"There are a lot of different applications; you can connect PowerApps, or Flow, or Power BI to many different types of applications to interchange data."
"I like the galleries, which are really powerful."
"The most valuable feature is the time-to-market because you can make apps pretty fast."
 

Cons

"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"I would like to see more improvement, for example, in direct collaboration."
"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."
"I’d need more time with it. As of now, I can’t think of an area for improvement."
"The connectors are the main components that reference the data sources, and these need to be improved."
"The user interface is pretty good, although it is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."
"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."
"PowerApps can't do a lot of things that users need now. For example, it can't handle signatures."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"My company has non-profit licensing, and hence, it is affordable. Pricing depends on usage."
"The cost for licensing could be lower."
"The pricing is complicated to understand."
"One of the main things about this solution is the price. The cost for Salesforce is $35, $25, or $10 per user per month. PowerApps costs much less than that. It is at a good price point. It may change in the future, but at this point, its price is pretty fine."
"This is not an expensive product and there are no licensing fees."
"If we compare Microsoft Power Apps with any on-prem or other Azure solutions, I feel it can be made cheaper."
"The tool is neither cheap nor expensive. The tool's cost is manageable."
"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."
