### "Great for Automation and User Input. "

May 6, 2021

5.0

We are managing an IT Support line through tickets that are requested in our app.

Pros

It's a great alternative to automation on administrative processes saving a lot of time for our team. We have connected our Powerapps to Interactive reports in PowerBI which has allowed us to gain visibility in our Overall KPI'S.

Cons

It still has some improvement to be done such as allowing Pop up alerts and making the PDF Viewer a estable solution instead of Beta.

Reason for choosing PowerApps

Because it has amazing integration with other Microsoft tools like Sharepoint and PowerBi.

### "A good app but with a good room for improvement"

September 29, 2021

3.0

Pros

It's really easy to use, even people who are not used to programming can easily build an app. Its drag-and-drop programming sort of type makes everything easy.

Cons

It does not perform very well. Despite a good internet connection, it takes a lot of time to open the app in its online editor. Moreover, the application freezes from time to time, so if you don't have auto-save enabled or if your changes did not hit the minimum amount of time required for the auto-save, you risk losing your changes.

### "In a Microsoft world, every business truly needs this product"

May 29, 2025

5.0

I've been using PowerApps before its global release for everyone. its leaps and bounds better than it was initially. the microsoft team is great at applying updates which enable more features on a regular basis

Pros

Quick app creation with drag-and-drop interface. Seamless integration with Microsoft tools like Excel and Teams. Low-code accessibility for non-technical users. AI capabilities for automation and insights. Flexible deployment on web and mobile.

Cons

the whole "low code no code" promotion. this simply isn't true. if you're building anything of real value you will likely have some code within your application

### "Microsoft Entered the low code development and it's another silent Big Bang"

July 4, 2023

4.0

My overall experience is very good the estimated prototyping phase reduce from months to days with respect to the traditional development approach. The interfaces are clean even if non so fancy in terms of graphics. However, the same standard interfaces are great for data entry.

Pros

I like the fact that is easy to use by allowing the composition of apps without great programming skills. The latest features like the possibility to create apps starting from description using copilot or by simply uploading an excel file are killer features respect to similar products on the markets.

Cons

The fact that it is a little bit tricky to connect on-premise datasource. So for example it is possible to read SAP ECC7 on premise tables an to call BAPI function however the setup of such connections is not so easy to be implemented. This does not means that the functionality is lost but for a non IT person it would be nearly impossible to do such kind of setup without the help of skilled professionals.

### "Powerapps as a SharePoint Front End"

June 11, 2023

5.0

Have implemented a range of solutions for different businesses and departments within those businesses, integrating to Power Flow for good measure.

Pros

PowerApps allows us to customise and deploy front ends that are secure whilst attaching to SharePoint databases. We benefit from the single Microsoft login for both products and the confidence that the data behind them is secure.

Cons

Can be a bit of a pain to depot changes across multiple environments (dev / test / live) and some users just can't get their heads around why they can't bookmark a page of the app from their browser address bar.

### "The best software on the market for small and large solutions"

March 30, 2022

5.0

PowerApps can solve many different problems across business workstreams, from supply chain through HR. With this great scalability and functionality richness, each software built on PowerApps can look differently, but still it will meet the business expectations.

Pros

What I like most about PowerApps is its scalability and a wide variety of functionalities. As a LCAP application, it can be used to build small solutions without the need of deep technical knowledge of code. More importantly, PowerApps can serve as a great meanse to build more robust solutions that offer many functionalities and API connectors.

Cons

I first started using PowerApps for customizing SharePoint forms, which sometimes doesn't work as expected. I have had a few situations, when the PowerApps customized forms collapsed and Microsoft technical support struggled to find the root cause.

Pros

Allows the general business user contribute but being involved in the SDLC at a dev level

### "PowerApps HR"

April 13, 2022

4.0

We needed better software from what we were using from our previous HR. I only used the previous program a few times and PowerApps seems much easier and convenient.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use for my employees. It is necessary that they can figure out the software on their own and not raise any tickets for our support team.

Cons

I think the layout could be improved a bit. The install was easy but had a few kinks that we needed to work out. In the end, it works as intended.

### "Power Apps la neuva herramienta soluciones de aplicaciones"

August 30, 2023

5.0

actualemnte nos encontramos desarrollando varias aplicaciones para nuestros clientes las cuales solucionan varias problemanticas que se les han presentado como gestión de recursos, dashboards, seguimeinto de tickets ,etc.

Pros

Que al ser una herramienta low code permite que prácticamente cualquier persona pueda utilizarla, obviamente involucra complejidad dependiendo que tan robusta quiere uno que sea la aplicación, es interesante el que se puede integrar autoamtizaciones , reporte de power bi etc, ya que pertenece al grupo de herramientas de power platform de microsoft

Cons

que sigue teniendo algunas decadencias al ser una herramienta relativamente nueva, aunque esto realmente no creo dure por un largo tiempo ya que se ha observado que durante estos años que la herramienta ha sido lanzada ha habido una gran cantidad de actualizaciones para optimizar su funcionamiento.

El licenciamiento. Con el tiempo ha ido cambiando y cosas que antes eran la licencia free luego fue de pago, luego separaron el powerautomate... es el problema del Saas, estas "vendido" a las decisiones sobre el producto del fabricante sin opción de opinion

May 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

The simple way to put together different forms that help with those needs that are not the most important for the business and that would take too much time to develop

Cons

It does not allow to grow or program in an orderly way those more complex needs that can occur once the use of the same is advanced.

Fue mi paso siguiente para adentrarme en programación, luego de pasar por las hojas de excel. Permitiendome ascender un nivel en la complejidad de la programación y la creación de herramientas para ser utilizadas en las diferentes etapas de los procesos de mi organización.

Pros

Por la facilidad para configurar la herramienta, ademas de poder trabajar sobre herramientas de Diseño en su interfaz.

Cons

Que es tan versatil que requiere comenzar a trabajar desde cero en la idea de un aplicación o automatizacion de procesos.

Reason for choosing PowerApps

October 19, 2021

5.0

I created a "shopping cart" application for the end users in the company to be able to request for specific hardware. I thought I would have to use Power Automate to link all the functions I wanted, but PowerApps had everything I needed!

Pros

PowerApps is soo easy to use. It only took me 2 weeks to create a fully functioning application. Once I full grasped the concept, I was really able to enjoy building out an app.

Cons

When I attempt to write a formula out and get an error, I wish the error stated how the function worked, instead of just stating why it's wrong.

Reason for choosing PowerApps

Had every functionality I needed.

February 12, 2023

3.0

Pros

Using low code to create apps can rapidly increase productivity by automating internal business processes. We liked the simpleUI canvas and the easy integration with Office 365, mostly Excel and Word.

Cons

Do not expect fast performance. Do not expect efficient code. Expect simple "prototypes" you can use in the first automation phases. Then ask IT to build a real app.

I like the integration with Adobe Sign and I hope they beef that up.

Pros

I had alot of fun playing around with thsi software. The free version that comes with our O365 with standard connections is sufficient for some low key flows.

Cons

The licensing model is pretty confusing.
