Low-code AI workflows have streamlined content curation and currently support rapid app creation
Microsoft Power Apps could be improved because there are still a lot of jargons and too many moving parts. For example, if you look at Copilot, the term Copilot is confusing in the sense of whether it is Copilot in M365, Copilot Studio, or Copilot in Microsoft Power Apps. There is a plan designer which uses Copilot. The whole thing how AI has been positioned is still not lucid for the end user. An end user wants to know exactly what they want and where they go to get it. I think that could also be because things are evolving so fast. From an end-user perspective, the way it has been positioned, the clarity and the boundaries between the different types of offerings and AI offerings available is confusing as of now. There should be better clarity on that. The biggest issue I have, and I have also spoken to a few of my clients about this, is the licensing model. In traditional software development, almost 95 percent of the time, the development team bears the cost of the licenses. For example, if I develop something, I may have to pay licenses for four or five different software that I use. As a user, if you use my services, you probably pay something to me as a subscription, but you do not have to bother about the licenses. All that is wrapped under the hood. Unfortunately, in Power Platform as such, and even in other low-code things like UiPath, if you use a premium feature such as Dataverse, almost everything ends up using Dataverse or SQL Server or some relational database. If you use that, then as an app builder or app maker you have to have a premium license. The end user too would need to have a premium license. That really makes the adoption prohibitive. It is too expensive. We are talking about something like around just for Microsoft Power Apps alone, approximately twenty dollars per month, which is extremely high. Another point to consider for what else can be improved in Microsoft Power Apps is that one does not know what compute power one is getting when one buys a license. If you look at the licensing model, you will get to know how much of Dataverse storage you will get in terms of log storage, database storage, and file storage. However, you do not get to know how much of compute power is being given to you. I do not think Microsoft has an SLA saying that any request of a certain amount, such as MB per second, you will get a response time of whatever, one by sixtieth of a second or some millisecond. I do not think that they have that performance SLA in place. They do have storage SLA which comes with the license, but they do not have a corresponding SLA for performance.

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 features for us are predominantly on the user interface front."
"The solution's most valuable feature revolves around its low code capabilities. Coding work is less in the tool."
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"The features I find the most valuable are the 365 and Microsoft applications integrations and the automation."
"I like the solution's ability to approve some tasks electronically."

"As a business person, I design a lot of screens. The solution really resonates with me. Their design is amazing."
"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."
"NewgenONE's document management and workflow approach tools are very useful."
 

Cons

"Microsoft could streamline monitoring and management. In addition, it should be easier to put the solution in different environments. For example, you should be able to move from a dev environment to a production environment seamlessly."
"Microsoft Power Apps must be more robust when integrating with Microsoft Power BI."
"It has to improve the threshold limit where it can handle data beyond 5000 items."
"The solution must provide more integration with third-party applications."
"I would like to have more options for changing the layout because customizing something as simple as colors is very hard."
"The tool could be easier to use. While providers focus on low-code, the options are often dropdowns."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"Setting up NewgenONE is still a technical task. Simplifying the setup process would make it easier for users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Power Apps is relatively cheap compared to other low-code and no-code systems like OutSystems and Mendix."
"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."
"Microsoft PowerApps is expensive, but there are many features included."
"Microsoft Power Apps is not an expensive solution."
"My company has non-profit licensing, and hence, it is affordable. Pricing depends on usage."
"It might be too complicated to continuously monitor the business consumption and what to pay."
"If you start to use any premium connectors that are not stored in a SharePoint list or on an Excel workbook, then it costs $4 per user per month. If you want unlimited, it's about $16 per month for unlimited apps, and unlimited connectors."
"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."
