Featured Reviews

Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.
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

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"Creating a PowerApp is very easy. All I do is link and share the result with my colleagues. Deployment is very fast."
"The platform has valuable features for opportunity and finance management. It has all the essential features for customer service."
"We get feedback on a real-time basis, which is actually very useful for us."
"I can have a SharePoint list and connect with users through PowerApps to present the information."
"I would say that it's a very advanced product because it empowers people to do simple things, which previously may have required people to have some technical skills."
"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."
"Overall, the tool is very democratic. It's easy for anyone to use. You don't have to be a professional or well-versed in technology."
"The most valuable features for us are predominantly on the user interface front."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"The flexibility and the user interface need improvement."
"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."
"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."
"We use GoCanvas to make forms. It's easier to make forms in GoCanvas, but Power Apps is cheaper because it is bundled with our Office 365 license. if I want to create a form in Power Apps, I need some knowledge, but GoCanvas is intuitive."
"You can't add too many filters onto anything you build, otherwise, it will be very slow and it will affect your performance."
"The editor in the Web browser could be improved because it can be difficult to implement the commands in the buttons."
"I would like to see more improvement, for example, in direct collaboration."
"We're not in production yet, so we're still working through some issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It might be too complicated to continuously monitor the business consumption and what to pay."
"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."
"Microsoft PowerApps is expensive, but there are many features included."
"The tool is neither cheap nor expensive. The tool's cost is manageable."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The product is inexpensive."
