Microsoft Power Apps vs Baserow: Which is a better fit?

A low code automation platform that we can connect with many sources like Excel, PowerBI, SharePoint, etc. The main advantage and good thing that I have seen is that it supports mobile devices.

We found that running an app on top of a SharePoint list resulted in a sluggish experience that discouraged our external users.

I am able to organize and make clear easy updates to my business. My experience has been wonderful and I am very pleased with my experience.

Of course, the realist in me chalks this up to the low code nature of the tool and that there are going to be some blind spots.

Developing in Power Apps has been really enjoyable because of the ability to achieve quick outcomes that are also powerful and therefore can be used meaningfully within my organisation.

I've not found an issue that couldn't be hacked around in some way and while this isn't ideal, it is still faster and cheaper than building the tool in something else.

The thing I like the most about this software is the simplicity of the design, easy to navigate.

The Microsoft Power Apps access Permission management requires a deeper level of technical expertise and confuses users with a non-technical background.

Its a great and better alternative than Airtable. Also the fact that there is a self-hosted option, make this really attractive.

Feature parity with competing applications (e.g. Airtable) can create an (somewhat unfair) sense that Baseerow is "missing something.

Easy migration from other applications and the lean and clean interface. The support has been outstanding.

In base row hidden items remain hidden, which makes the entire feature worthless. Also, the controls, are as worthless as airtable, and are not compatible with mobile devices, in imbed / I Frame mode.

I probably like the functionality and having the ability to self host the product is very important to be able to fully customize and align it with the institution's requirement.

There are many basic features missing when compared to Airtable, such as Group By.

I've only used for a couple of months, but have been very pleased overall so far. We were looking for an Airtable replacement tool and this is by far the best we've seen.

One limitation of Baserow.io is its relatively limited advanced functionalities for complex data handling or manipulation.
