"Overview of pros and cons of Power Platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I like the Custom connectors, power automate is really easy to use, Power pages give alternatives for outside tenant use, data flow is also really usefull Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

Model-driven app forms feel too simple and need additional features. Business rules can be very powerful, but they would benefit from more functionality and flexibility. Also, there is no native AI code assistant for MDA and Power Pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Low-Code Solution Empowering Citizen Developers"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I constantly use Microsoft Power Apps to build tools and utilities for certain processes at work. What I like the most is that it is a low-code/no-code platform, available for citizen developers and business service employees to build whatever they require in a simple way without needing to be pro-coders. It's easy to connect to various systems through connectors, and the nature of deployment is simple to enable. It's great for migrating activities and processes that use Excel, Word, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and other Microsoft products to more automated processes. You have everything handy and immediately accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

What I do not like, is the lack of certain connectors, or paid connectors. Lack of connectors is a problem per se, but you can always find certain work-arounds. Now, with the paid connectors, well... that's just a me problem, as at the workplace, we cannot use any type of connector, and it needs to be fully reviewed and go through a whole process, to check if we should be allowed or not. It took a bit of time to learn it, as I didn't take any "standard" trainings, rather I watched developers on YouTube, read on various forums, even on the Microsoft forum on "how to do" certain things, that were not very clear to me.

"Rapid Low-Code App Building with Seamless Microsoft Ecosystem Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

Ability to rapidly build scalable business applications with minimal coding while seamlessly integrating with the broader Microsoft ecosystem. It empowers both developers and non-technical users to automate processes, create custom apps, and improve productivity without relying heavily on traditional development cycles. The platform’s native integration with tools like Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure enables smooth data connectivity and real-time insights. Additionally, its flexibility allows organizations to tailor solutions to specific business needs, whether for workflow automation, mobile apps, or process optimization. The low-code environment accelerates innovation, reduces development time, and lowers costs, making it an excellent choice for organizations looking to modernize operations and respond quickly to changing business requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

One of the main drawbacks of Microsoft Power Apps is that while it enables rapid application development, it can become restrictive for complex, enterprise-level solutions. As applications scale, managing performance, delegation limits, and data handling can be challenging, often requiring workarounds or additional services like Power Automate or Azure. The platform can also introduce governance and version control limitations compared to traditional development environments, making collaboration across large teams more difficult. Additionally, licensing costs can increase significantly as more users and premium connectors are required, which may impact overall ROI. Debugging and error handling are not always straightforward, which can slow down troubleshooting. While Power Apps is excellent for quick solutions, it may not always be the best fit for highly customized or performance-intensive applications without extending beyond its low-code capabilities.

"Seamless Cross-Device Syncing That Keeps Me Organized"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I like the most about the MS apps is that , they get syncing from all devices. It helps me a lot be organised. When I take a meeting with my phone and make notes there and I am able to see them in the laptop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

The one thing I don’t like about Microsoft apps are that they are expensive and also sometimes accessing without CompanyVPN creates a lot of problems. Apart from that, I don’t have much complaints about the MS office apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boosts Automation with Seamless Office Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I really like Power Automate in Microsoft Power Apps. It allows low-code flows to automate processes and workflows, which helps us save time. I can send automated emails to clients when the status of my cases is done and send out emails to leads to help me convert them. Additionally, I appreciate how it integrates easily with Microsoft Office tools like Word and Excel, making the data integration smoother for the company. The initial setup was easy once I found a guide online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

I would love for Microsoft Power Apps to load faster and give me more view options. The filter could have an SQL section which allows me to run SQL queries to get what I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Integrative and Efficient, Yet Needs UI Improvements"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I like that Microsoft Power Apps is able to be integrated into other products, like ServiceNow. It's also tightly wired to 365, which is great as we can use the same groups, user permissions, and approval processes we already have set up in the tenant. I appreciate that I am able to utilize and set up integration with relative ease to my ticketing platform, saving time, money, and effort through automation. The connection with 365's overarching stack makes it easy to set up user permissions, groups, and single sign-on, and the documentation is all familiar, making the setup relatively simple.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

The UI and layout can feel limiting, and building responsive frameworks is harder than in traditional Web frameworks. Error handling and debugging also feel basic and could be more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Fast Development with Strong Microsoft Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I like how quickly Microsoft Power Apps lets you build useful business apps with strong integration across the Microsoft ecosystem. The low-code approach, fast prototyping, and connection with tools like SharePoint, Teams, Excel, Dataverse, and Power Automate stand out. Its flexibility for internal business use cases and the speed at which it can turn a manual process into a working app are fantastic. The integrations and automation capabilities, particularly with SharePoint, Dataverse, and Power Automate, are incredibly valuable, making it practical for connecting business data easily and automating processes without much custom code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

Some parts can feel limiting when the app becomes more complex. Performance, debugging, delegation limits, and maintainability could be better, especially for larger or more advanced business applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast Drag-and-Drop App Development with Instant DB and REST Connections"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

It is very useful to develop app and connect db and rest instantly unlike other software which is hard to connect the front end and back end. Also its drag and drop feature is very efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

I cant bring more than 2000 data sets from database directly. If i want i need to use round abouts and it is very slow also some time it is hard to define the boxes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Easy App Creation with Intuitive UI"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I mostly use the Canvas app in Microsoft Power Apps, and I find it really easy to create new applications. It's straightforward to connect to SharePoint sites and load or save data. The grab and drop-down functions make it simple to start working with it. The new Copilot features are quite nice, especially when I don't know how to proceed with queries. It allows me to just ask how to use a visual or define the inquiry behind it. The platform is quite useful because you don’t have to know a lot about programming. You just pick a visualization, connect the data, and your application is ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

When I tried to connect Microsoft Power Apps to a solution and started to use model-driven apps, I think it would be great if there were Copilot access in the model driven version as well. It's a bit more complicated with datasets in the background, and I would find more explanations and how-tos for the Canvas set than for the model-driven app. It's harder to figure out how all of the different sources and datasets are connected to a model-driven app than in just a simple Canvas app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Non-Tech Teams, Seamless Microsoft Ecosystem Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Power Apps?

I like how Microsoft Power Apps makes app development accessible for non-technical teams, allowing us to build functional tools without a full development background. The platform uses visual tools and simple drag-and-drop components that make it easy to create flows and apps. Additionally, I appreciate how well it integrates with the rest of the Microsoft ecosystem, working smoothly with tools like SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, and Excel through built-in connectors. This seamless integration makes it easier to pull data from different sources without needing to switch applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power Apps?

Performance can sometimes become an issue when apps are working with large datasets or more complex logic, which results in slower load and delays. One improvement would be making it easier for users to understand and manage delegation since this plays a major role in how efficiently apps retrieve and process data. When queries are not fully delegable, Power Apps only retrieves a limited number of records by default, typically 500. This can result in slower performance and incomplete results when working with larger data sources. Another area that could be improved is providing more built-in guidance around delegation warnings. While the editor does show indicators when certain formulas are non-delegable, understanding how to structure logic or break down complex filters into delegable steps can still be difficult for new users.
