Luis Gerardo Meneses Hernandez - PeerSpot reviewer
Creates versatile applications seamlessly across platforms
I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter. It is easy to use when you understand the code, know how to use Docs, and understand the components of Flutter. It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments. Additionally, it works for both PC and iOS devices.
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.

Pros

"FlutterFlow offers a lot, but one feature that really helps me is the debugging features that allow me to test everything on the spot. This is really helpful."
"It allows you to create fragments that look good and work on both mobile and web environments."
"I like the simplicity of making panels with Flutter."
"The most valuable features of FlutterFlow are the integrations and workflows."
"When compared with Microsoft Power Automate, it is a bit more mature, and we're able to build things pretty rapidly."
"The product has good usability, in terms of low-code applications."
"I would say that the most valuable features are the user interface, navigation, and business routes."
"Flexibility, easy setup, and fairly quick results are valuable features of the product."
"Ability to generate QR codes and scan barcodes."
"The solution works great and is stable."
"It offers integration with several Microsoft products, including SharePoint and Outlook, in my opinion, is a huge plus."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
 

Cons

"I am trying to see how it can be integrated with the backend. That said, I haven't gotten there yet."
"There is room for improvement in advanced functionality so it could cater to more complex app development needs."
"Scaling depends on project requirements."
"The UI components could be more standardized. Sometimes, for certain properties, I have to search more than I do with other platforms. With other platforms, once you know one, you know all. But with FlutterFlow, sometimes you have to look around for what you need."
"The user interface is pretty good, although it is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"We would like to see the period for viewing executions within this solution to be extended beyond its current limit of 28 days. We would prefer to be able to offer our customers an infinite amount of history to search."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities in the future."
"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."
"The controls are not available in the tool by default, so it needs to upgrade their controls, like gallery controls and some other controls, so that they can be made more usable."
"I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution."
"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"Microsoft should combine both the web and the mobile environment with all of the layers of development into one package."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the licensing costs a three out of ten, with ten being expensive and one being cheap. Currently, I use the free version."
"The cost for licensing could be lower."
"The enterprise-level costs a great deal of money, and you have to purchase additional licenses to scale it."
"In terms of pricing, Power Apps is cost-efficient."
"There are two licensing costs, one is pay-as-you-go, or you can develop it for one year."
"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."
"Microsoft PowerApps is expensive, but there are many features included."
"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."
"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."
