Comparison Results: The two solutions are very comparable. Microsoft PowerApps has slightly better ratings regarding the service and support.
"The most valuable feature is automized processes."
"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."
"When I am developing any user UI, it gives me complete flexibility. I can manage in any way I want."
"The solution works great and is stable."
"There is value in being able to collect and compare information in real-time to present alternatives for correcting vulnerabilities."
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"We like that this solution allows us to fully define our test environments, and link them using different code. This means we can do different tests, but with one basic structure, and then export the data and use it in other platforms."
"It offers integration with several Microsoft products, including SharePoint and Outlook, in my opinion, is a huge plus."
"A very flexible solution."
"The process and the workflows are amazing."
"There are no major performance issues in the solution."
"I like using the reports feature, but also the fact that we are able to have a smooth process when it comes to leads and opportunities."
"The reporting tools are very solid."
"I love the report building that is available."
"It is very modular in approach. It is very light, and it can be used on various devices. It could be used on an Android phone or a laptop, which makes it good for the sales team on the road."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in the Salesforce Platform. I also found the platform pretty light."
"The flexibility and the user interface need improvement."
"Microsoft PowerApps can be more costly for small teams or organizations."
"In my experience, the solution's deployment can be tricky."
"In some cases, PowerApps would have some limitations in terms of the data, the number of transactions, and so on, but for a normal solution, it would be enough."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
"In terms of workflow automation, I believe that capabilities for creating the entire business process are required, or, at the very least, the option to model the business process, define complex business events, handle them, and route them to appropriate business stakeholders."
"Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast."
"It's sometimes hard to import groups of options. At this point, I need to enter those manually and it slows the process down."
"It would be better if they can add more from the pricing and functionality perspective. It is very expensive. I would be more than happy if they drop the prices. From the licensing perspective, if they can add more functionality, I would be more than happy."
"Salesforce Platform is a bit expensive compared to other CRM products, which is a drawback."
"What could be improved in the Salesforce Platform is the price. The platform is too expensive. The implementation time for the platform is also longer than expected, so that's another area for improvement."
"Salesforce Platform has a cumbersome interface when creating reports, dashboards, and those types of things. They could be a little bit more simple. The administration has to be an aficionado to do any sort of administration and maintenance, for example, setting up the way you want to modify the lead tracks or functions. These systems tend to be quite cumbersome."
"The management of Salesforce could be quite a task. Old and unusable contacts can add up over time. If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to initiate a self-cleaning feature."
"The reporting functionality is not very intuitive."
"Easier process to move to Lightning Components."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
