Microsoft Power Apps Reviews

PowerApps is mostly a front end. It's a form where users can input information, and it gets goes into a database.

If you want something that you can use for cellphones, multiple tablets, and things like that, you can use PowerApps for the front end. It gathers all the information, and the information goes somewhere else. 

PowerApps can't do a lot of things that users need now. For example, it can't handle signatures. 

We just started using PowerApps last year.

I don't know if PowerApps is suitable for the enterprise level. When we need an enterprise solution, we don't use PowerApps because it's too complicated for the users and creates too many headaches for IT.

It's hit or miss. Microsoft makes changes so fast that even their support engineers are confused. Sometimes I'll change my settings, and then I'll go back to my settings the next week, and I can't find it. Finally, I realize that Microsoft changed something, and this particular setting is now integrated into another part of the menu. They keep doing that. It confuses the admins and even their own people.

Microsoft had a solution called InfoPath that they discontinued and replaced with PowerApps. I still like it much better because of the licensing issues. PowerApps' use case is more general. Microsoft took InfoPath's functionality and made it more complicated in PowerApps. 

They did the same thing when they introduced the new version of Power Automate. Microsoft took away the best workflow feature. Without that particular one, it's hard to create general workflows for somebody else. Many people don't know how to create workflows, so they rely on IT to do that for them.

Setting up PowerApps isn't straightforward. We allow users to be citizen developers, as they call it, and around 95 percent of the time they end up going back to us, saying, "Hey, we can't use this. We don't know what to do. Help us!" As IT, we're spending a lot of time creating these forms for them instead of users doing it themselves.

There are better solutions like Jotform, which is a complete form solution. We're now using Jotform instead of PowerApps because the workflow is simplified. It can accept signatures, and there are many widgets you can use. Jotform has drag-and-drop functionality. However, even with drag and drop, many users still can't build forms and need help from IT. 

It's just a matter of which will make the best use of your time. If it takes a long time to create something in Power Apps and half the time to do it in Jotform, I would make it in Jotform and be done with it. We also use Microsoft Forms for simple forms instead of PowerApps.

I rate PowerApps four out of 10. 

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.

We use the solution for making forms for Office 365.

The solution is easy to use and map.

The solution should have more integration with other platforms. 

The licensing price could be better. 

We have been using Microsoft PowerApps for five to ten years. 

The solution is definitely stable. 

For sure, the solution is scalable. 

As the solution is deployed on-cloud, there is no need for installation. 

The price for the license could be more cost-effective. 

Customers have the option of monthly and yearly subscriptions. 

The solution is deployed both on-premises and in the cloud. 

I would recommend the solution to others. 

We deal with around 15 customers. 

I rate Microsoft PowerApps as an eight out of ten. 

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.

Our primary use case for the solution is collecting business data and checking for initiative ideas to collect information.

The speed of the solution is valuable.

The solution can be improved by including codes that can speed up aggregates for our project development applications.

We have been using this solution for about a year, and we are currently using the latest version. It is deployed on Azure Cloud.

We currently use a different solution as our ERP.

I rate the solution a six out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved to cater to complex developments.

The most valuable feature is the compatibility with other Microsoft components, the connectivity to Microsoft databases, the connectivity to other components on the Microsoft Azure environment, the connectivity to Office 365 and the connectivity to teams and the overall environment.

Microsoft should combine both the web and the mobile environment with all of the layers of development into one package. Currently, it's separated because Microsoft Power Apps does not cover all of these issues, so you have to connect to two different solutions. With Mendix for example, with one environment, the developers can create either a mobile app or a web app — it's an all-in-one environment. Microsoft Power Apps is not a service. For instance, if you want to connect to a database, it will be done via a database platform. 

Microsoft PowerApps is both scalable and stable. 

Microsoft PowerApps has a good support community.

The initial setup is no more complicated than similar solutions. I'd say it's pretty straightforward. 

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the user interface.

Microsoft PowerApps could improve the speed of Power Automate, it is not very fast.

In a feature release, any additional features would be beneficial.

I have been using Microsoft PowerApps for half a year.

The stability could be better when it comes to performance.

Microsoft PowerApps is simple to install.

The price of Microsoft PowerApps is reasonable compared to other solutions.

I rate Microsoft PowerApps a nine out of ten.

It was used to collect or gather information from the requests, assess requests, and evaluate the requests for a new potential project. 

I am a consultant for developers and architects. People to whom I give consultation use it.

It is a cloud solution. Data can be cloud-based or on-premises, but it is mostly cloud-based.

The most valuable feature is that PowerApps can be used by most business users. It is not only for programmers.

Its performance is also valuable.

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.

I have used it for more than one year.

I have not heard about any issues with its stability.

It is scalable. It is used by more than 200 people with different roles, but only two people directly work with it. 

People use different solutions for different projects. The previous project was on another technology. They switched because it was more simple, and they knew similar technology for developing the project. They were already using other solutions, such as Power Automate and Power BI, from the Power platform.

It doesn't require any installation. PowerApps works on the Microsoft cloud on the server, and you have two options for using the data. The data is possible on-premises or on the cloud, but PowerApps is only on the cloud.

It depends on the subscription of Office 365 that customers have. With some subscriptions, it's possible to use PowerApps.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate it an eight out of 10.
