I dislike that saving and publishing in Power Apps can be confusing. Even for very small changes, I have to hit the publish button again and again, and there’s often a delay before the updates show up, which can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Microsoft Power Apps for building custom business applications that streamline manual and repetitive processes. Its low-code, drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to design apps without deep knowledge of coding, removing a lot of the friction usually associated with building applications. The ability to centralize processes into a single application helps eliminate repetitive manual tasks, reduces errors from manual data entry, and provides better visibility into ongoing processes. I appreciate that getting started with Microsoft Power Apps doesn't require heavy installations because it's mostly web-based, allowing me to begin building apps directly through the browser.

One challenge is performance with larger datasets or more complex apps. As screens, logic, and integrations increase, apps can feel slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Microsoft Power Apps makes the app-building process easy with the built-in tools. The platform is convenient for configuring a step-by-step process for users, which helps in building and integrating it into operations and production. I also find it straightforward to streamline data capture processes and perform everything from one platform. The initial setup was easy, and I use it effectively for low-level, low-code business apps, especially for data capture when onboarding employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figuring out the coding and integrating it to push out to connecting apps can be a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Power Apps makes it possible to build functional business applications quickly without needing deep coding skills. I especially like how well it integrates with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Dataverse. The ability to automate workflows and create custom forms saves a lot of time and allows teams to solve problems independently instead of relying on developers for every small change.

The learning curve can be challenging at the beginning, especially when working with complex formulas or data relationships. Performance can sometimes be slow with larger datasets, and licensing options are not always easy to understand. Debugging errors is also not very intuitive, which can be frustrating for new users.

I like how easily Power Apps connects with other Microsoft tools such as SharePoint, Teams, and Excel. The drag-and-drop interface is a real time-saver, and it lets you build functional apps quickly without needing to write much code. I also appreciate that the apps run smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices, so the experience feels consistent across platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing model feels complicated and can become costly quickly, especially when planning a broader rollout. Performance also sometimes lags when working with large datasets or more complex formulas. On top of that, the mobile app experience isn’t always smooth, and troubleshooting can be frustrating because the error messages aren’t very clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how quickly ideas can become working apps with Microsoft Power Apps. It's impressive that people can go from needing a tool to having a usable app in a very short time, sometimes even the same day. This rapid turnaround is a big deal in business settings. I also appreciate the balance between simplicity and power. It feels approachable for non-developers but is still powerful enough to build real business applications with logic, data connections, and workflows. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy.

I don't like the dependency on the Microsoft ecosystem. Apps work best and often become locked in when they rely heavily on Microsoft services like SharePoint, Dataverse, Azure SQL, and Microsoft 365. While external integrations are possible, they need extra configuration, custom connectors, or premium licensing, making non-Microsoft systems feel like second-class options.

I liked the speed at which teams could build and deploy internal applications with Microsoft Power Apps, without needing heavy engineering involvement for every small workflow. It was helpful for operational use cases and process automation, allowing much faster experimentation. I appreciated how well it integrates with the Microsoft ecosystem, which made adoption easier for organizations already using tools like Teams, Excel, SharePoint, and Power Automate. The flexibility for adapting workflows over time was genuinely useful, as operational processes often change. It's great that product and operations stakeholders could participate more actively in workflow creation and testing, reducing dependence on developers. Additionally, the ability to quickly modify forms, dashboards, or approval flows without needing to rebuild everything from scratch was a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One challenge is that while Power Apps is marketed as low-code, more complex workflows still end up requiring technical understanding, especially when integrations, permissions, or advanced logic are involved. For non-technical users, the learning curve can become steeper than expected. We also noticed performance and UI limitations in some larger or more customized apps. As workflows scale, maintenance and debugging can become slightly difficult compared to fully custom-built solutions. We noticed that some apps started feeling slower once they became more data-heavy or included multiple connected workflows and integrations. Simple use cases worked smoothly, but larger operational apps occasionally had responsiveness issues, especially when many users interacted with them simultaneously. On the UI side, customization flexibility sometimes felt limited compared to modern product-grade applications. It works well for functional internal tools, but creating highly polished or deeply customized user experiences can take more effort than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Microsoft Power Apps is how it helps eliminate repetitive manual work. In our case, we used to manually download executed documents from Adobe Sign based on tracking information in an Excel sheet. It was time-consuming and prone to errors if someone missed a row or filtered incorrectly.

With Power Apps, we were able to create a more structured internal process around that tracking. It integrates well with Excel and other Microsoft tools, which made implementation easier for us.

It’s especially helpful for internal operational tools where you don’t need a full enterprise-grade application but still want something more controlled and scalable than spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is the learning curve. It’s marketed as low-code, but to build anything meaningful, you still need to understand formulas, logic, and how data connections work. It’s not completely plug-and-play.

Licensing can also be confusing depending on connectors and features. Some advanced integrations require premium plans, which adds cost.

Performance can slow down when working with larger Excel files or more complex data sources. Also, troubleshooting errors isn’t always intuitive — sometimes it takes trial and error to figure out what’s wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Generally, I use it for business processes with Power Automate, or for building small screens to check data for analysis in Power BI, and it all works well.

The UI makes it clear to use and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can be very steep in some cases, and certain integration plugins can be very expensive. Integrating with databases can also be costly, so we generally extract the data and analyse it in Power BI instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Microsoft Power Apps to capture and manage build information across nearly 490 AWS accounts, giving us a single, structured interface for data collection, validation, and updates. It replaces scattered spreadsheets and manual tracking with a centralized, governed workflow that improves accuracy, accelerates audits, and gives our cloud team real‑time visibility into every account’s configuration and lifecycle.

Accont owners need to know the VPC CIDR ranges, who created the account etc information, so this serves as one stop shop for all such information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have custom API's built to fetch information from AWS but the performance is dropping considering our large dataset.

May be I feel like, Azure would be its preferred platform for seamless integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
