Microsoft Power Apps Reviews

We use the solution for, production orders, and for statement classification expenses for a family company. 

The support is the most valuable feature.

The incorporation of AI to construct a no-code application is an advantageous feature. However, I believe it is an unfulfilled promise. I think it will eventually be implemented, but ultimately, we will require the assistance of a programmer to guide us through the process.

There is room for improvement with the amount of code required to implement the expense classification app.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is completely scalable when we are also using Microsoft Dataverse.

The technical support is quick to respond.

The initial setup is not complex, but there were some areas that we struggled with, such as the gallery limitation. Nowadays, we are able to pull more than two thousand records, but if we do so, we have a lot of problems with the performance of Microsoft Power Apps.

The pricing is complicated to understand.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

We're working on B2E applications and therefore we can't really get into specific use cases.

The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time.

You can't add too many filters onto anything you build, otherwise, it will be very slow and it will affect your performance.

For example, some companies want to use a lot of dashboards for Excel Spreadsheets or Sharepoint. If you put everything onto a mobile app, you won't get the kind of performance that you would if you just worked in Sharepoint. A mobile app has certain limitations.

I've been using the solution for the past year or so.

The solution seems pretty stable, or, at least, it's moving in the direction of becoming very stable. We've been happy with it. It's reliable.

The solution is quite scalable. There are third party connectors, or you can design your own connectors if you like. It's very customizable, which makes it very flexible and easy to scale.

I've never had to reach out to technical support yet. We've found that the documentation that they offer is good enough to answer any questions that we have. We also have many experts in our organization. We'll ask around internally before venturing out and asking Microsoft.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. They have a lot of third party connections. It's easy to connect things if you need to. However, this can add to development costs. That said, it's nice to have the option.

I don't directly deal with the actual billing. Therefore, I don't know the exact cost or the licensing structure. That's an aspect of the solution someone else handles. That said, it's Microsoft, which tends to be a bit more expensive. It might now be the best option for smaller customers. 

I'm most likely using the latest version of the solution, although I don't know the exact number offhand. We have a partnership with Microsoft so we're likely to be using only the most updated versions. Everything else: Power BI, Power Stack, AI, and all that, are also on the most updated versions.

While for larger companies, it's probably not too much of a problem, cost-wise, to adopt this product, for smaller firms, it's likely too expensive.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a six out of ten. It's useful, however, there are limiting aspects of the product that could be improved upon.

We are customers and resellers. We mainly collaborate with Microsoft and supplemental applications.

I like the containerization of Azure. We are trying other architectural options that they offer.

There is always room for improvement and with PowerApps, there is a long way to go. 

The flexibility and the user interface need improvement. 

The speed, as in how fast things can be done, needs to be improved.

The workflow needs improvement and should be included in the platform.

We have been working with Microsoft Azure for the past year.

The support is good.

Here in Greece, we have enough support for Microsoft. There are some government-level agreements and county-level agreements. 

It is easy to deploy, although we have some experience.

It seems pretty straightforward.

You have to be careful with pricing.

It might be too complicated to continuously monitor the business consumption and what to pay.

It's not something you can easily rate, as you have to rate according to specifications and characteristics.

It is a good product but I would like to see the flexibility issues improved, and there are issues with the user interface. You have to use the interface in a specific way.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use this solution for process authorization in our company.

It is very easy for us to implement. We have a Microsoft ecosystem, and this solution has many components for integration.

It would be good if this solution supports standard BPM notation. We are thinking of switching to a BPM solution next year because it is not a BPM solution.

I have been using this solution for a year.

It is stable.

Its scalability is very good. This solution is in Microsoft cloud, so we don't need to worry about scaling it.

We didn't use technical support. I have only used online documentation, and it is very good. There are good videos out there.

We didn't use any other solution.

The initial setup is very easy because it is a SaaS solution. We don't need to implement any server in the company. We just use the SaaS solution.

In terms of the implementation strategy, we take a small business use case in the financial area and do a proof of concept to evaluate a solution. 

We did it on our own.

We use the Office 365 package, and Microsoft PowerApps is a part of the package. We don't pay any separate price for this.

There are no additional costs. We just pay for the Office 365 package.

I would recommend this solution because it is an easy solution for the Microsoft ecosystem.

I would rate Microsoft PowerApps an eight out of ten. We are happy with this solution.

Our primary use for Microsoft PowerApps is to develop production-ready applications.

The most valuable feature is the simple data connectivity components. With no code, you can use multiple data sources with different software systems.

Integration with databases and other tools needs to be improved.

I have been working with Microsoft PowerApps for about three years.

The stability is fine and we have no issue there.

I am a bit concerned about scalability.

I have my own technical support team so we have not had to contact Microsoft technical support.

I have experience with Zoho Creator and I find that the environment is much better. The database integration is better and creating a production-ready app is very straightforward.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The problem that I am having with Microsoft PowerApps, and other no-code or low-code solutions, is that younger developers are not comfortable with it. They are more comfortable with C# because it gives them more control over what they are doing, and more control over the testing.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to first conduct a large-scale, enterprise-level project. This way, you will see if the product is scalable enough for your requirements.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is to automate the interaction between documents and departments. For example, it's a flow for someone who has to validate a request, a file, or to review another file. A flow is put in place to avoid email communication.

I like the status of the flow and the dashboard, with all of the flows that are running and showing the stages of them.

If you are accustomed to Microsoft technology, then it's quite easy to learn, but if you are new around the whole online platform of Microsoft, then it takes time. Even if you are familiar with Microsoft products then there is still a learning curve on the use.

Previously with Microsoft, they were offering hands-on exercises or labs. I think that should be put back in place. Also, a few years ago Microsoft had an MVA program. It was called Microsoft Virtual Academy, where you could learn a lot about technology, but now it's deprecated and that's why it takes time to learn the new platform.

I have always felt that you need an IT background to use this solution.

I would like to see more regarding the help element of the program itself. More courses around the usage and of the technology features, more training, and guides.

I have been using this solution for six months.

Normally, our downtime is planned, and we are aware of it. However, on one or two occasions we have experienced unplanned downtimes. As it was on our end, and not problematic, it was disregarded.

At this time we have three to five users.

We are using this solution once a week, as we have only just started using it.

We have not needed to contact technical support b. Microsoft has a tool located in the portal where we can see the service, help, and stages. This includes all of the help for Office 365.

The initial setup was very easy. It's a cloud solution. Because we were already using Microsoft products, we only had to enable the license and just start using it.

At this time, we are still learning the basics and the setups while discovering the entire product and how to best use it internally.

I would suggest investing in the training of the product. 

It is very important to know the capabilities of the product to be able to address any questions a customer or user may have for you.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We use this product to develop small apps that are used internally. Nothing major.

The most valuable feature is the time-to-market because you can make apps pretty fast.

The integration with other products is pretty good.

The user interface is pretty good, although it is a little bit clunky and can be improved.

We have been using Microsoft PowerApps for between six months and a year.

This is a stable product.

PowerApps is a scalable solution. At the moment, we have approximately 40 developers in the company who use it, and we expect to increase our usage.

We have not needed to contact technical support. As we are a development company and our technical skills are pretty high. That said, we have had Microsoft support for Azure and Office 365 in the past, and it was pretty good, so I would expect the same. 

It is very easy to install. It takes no time because it just talks to the cloud.

This is not an expensive product and there are no licensing fees.

This is a good product and I recommend it. To this point, we have been working on pretty simple apps, and it has done everything that I needed it to do. I have not tried making a complex app, although that will come in the next few months.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am using Microsoft PowerApps for small apps for internal company management. I have been working only on small and simple apps. I haven't used it for making complex apps. 

I am using the latest version of Microsoft PowerApps.

Time to market is most valuable because you can make apps pretty fast. It also has pretty good integration.

Its user interface can be better. It is good, but it can be a bit clunky.

I have been using this solution for around one year.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We currently have 40 developers who use this solution. We plan to keep using this solution.

We are a development company, and our technical skills are pretty high. We didn't need any technical support. Based on our experience with Microsoft Azure and Office 365 support, I expect their technical support for Microsoft PowerApps to be very good.

We used SharePoint, which is not really similar to this solution.

The initial setup is easy. It is hosted in the cloud, so it is ready to go.

It is not expensive. There is no licensing cost.

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Microsoft PowerApps an eight out of ten.
