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.

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."
"The solution integrates quickly with our organization's existing systems."
"There's a lot of online knowledge on the solution, to the point where new users can basically teach themselves how to use the solution."
"Power Apps is user-friendly and allows easy application creation without extensive programming experience."
"The solution is very straightforward. Its context is obvious and everything is easy to understand."
"It offers integration with several Microsoft products, including SharePoint and Outlook, in my opinion, is a huge plus."
"Creating a PowerApp is very easy. All I do is link and share the result with my colleagues. Deployment is very fast."
"It helps bring together data and processes that are spread across different systems because of its high integration capabilities."
"The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time."
 

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."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"Microsoft should combine both the web and the mobile environment with all of the layers of development into one package."
"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."
"Installation and integration could be improved."
"It would be good if this solution supports standard BPN operations. We are thinking of switching to a BPM solution next year because it is not a BPM solution."
"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"If the price was reduced and the quality of the user interfaces was improved it would be beneficial."
"I recommend improving Microsoft Power Apps' licensing model. I've encountered challenges related to licensing complexity, which has led some customers to opt for traditional solution development and deployment methods instead."
"Because we have a lot of data and users, achieving an appropriate level of security and privacy is sometimes difficult, especially for sensitive data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"It is not expensive. There is no licensing cost."
"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."
"The pricing is complicated to understand."
"I pay nine dollars monthly for the subscription to this solution and the price of the is reasonable."
"If we compare Microsoft Power Apps with any on-prem or other Azure solutions, I feel it can be made cheaper."
"The enterprise-level costs a great deal of money, and you have to purchase additional licenses to scale it."
"This is not an expensive product and there are no licensing fees."
"The company has a subscription where you can use certain features for free, but there are features that require a premium subscription to use."
