We did a POF with Microsoft PowerApps and we used it for simple automation tasks.
The solution has not helped our organization. Since we moved away from Microsoft PowerApps from the bugs and I'm not sure if it's improved. When I look at the developer community, it's still buggy, there are some issues. It's not consistent when you are working with applications. If I work with the same application, it gives me a different choice every time. It doesn't give you the same choice of how to interact with the application.
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.
Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate.
In the next release of Microsoft PowerApps, they should add IDP and a control room.
I have been using Microsoft PowerApps for two months.
Microsoft PowerApps is not stable.
Microsoft PowerApps is not scalable. When compared to the other solutions that we've worked with, it's scalable. Everyone can build their own automation and there isn't a single repository where you can share or make sure that you're using the same automation. Everyone builds their own version of the same automation it's inefficient and at the same time, it is not scalable because if one thing breaks, you have to go update every process that you've automated.
In terms of support, there isn't much support compared to UiPath, Blue Prism, or Automate Anywhere. There is not a lot of documentation, training, or community support. People are starting to use Microsoft PowerApps, but by the time it catches up, it'll be a while.
I rate the support of Microsoft PowerApps a three out of five.
We had six people for the maintenance of the processes used in Microsoft PowerApps.
I have evaluated many other solutions.
My advice to others wanting to implement Microsoft PowerApps, they should do research on the connectors that are available compared to the competition. This will speed up the time to their end goal because Microsoft doesn't have many. The general support documentation that is available on using the tool, compare them with the other solutions to make a decision on what solution to use. They don't have many resources yet that are qualified in Microsoft PowerApps or Microsoft Power Automate.
I rate Microsoft PowerApps a four out of five.
Microsoft PowerApps needs a lot of fixes and improvements, and the competition is way far ahead compared to Microsoft at the moment.
