Hi community,
I am working as a Solution Architect at Australian Catholic University.
My responsibility is to recommend solutions for the requirements given by business stakeholders. I do a market scan to find solutions that are available off the shelf. Sometimes, it happens that no COTS solution meets the business requirements and then I go for custom development using a low-code platform. ACU has both Microsoft Power Apps and SNOW (ServiceNow) platforms.
My question is on what criteria we should be deciding between the two platforms to recommend for the custom development - like size of application, integration feasibilities, internal or external users, reporting intensive applications, process flows intensive applications, etc. And for the given criteria, which platform between MS Power Apps and SNOW, is most suitable?
In other words, are there any clear guidelines that can help to decide the appropriate platform (MS Power Apps or SNOW) for developing business applications or enterprise applications?
Thanks,
Naveen
Both have significant overlap. It really depends on the in-house tools and products.
If your client has MSFT SQL Server DBs, Power BI implementations don't need external portal access, then Power Apps is the way to go. Especially, if you're using MSFT Business Central.
ServiceNow is similar in terms of its capabilities. But better if you're starting from a ticketing, ITSM/ Support use case. You have less control of the data with SN but are generally able to get what you need. SN also integrates nicely with 3rd party tools through APIs.
Powers Apps kind of depends on where your data is.
Hope this helps.
