Easy to use for existing Microsoft shops

What differentiates Microsoft Power Apps from other similar products?
PowerApps is quick and easy to pick up for companies already familiar with Microsoft products. You must use Power Automate with PowerApps for the workflow parts. It is not all integrated in as some competitor products offer. Microsoft tools all work flawlessly together creating a compelling solution as Power Apps and Power Automate can all integrate with Teams and Power BI can also work together to create solutions. Now Power Pages has been added with AI features to offer external facing solutions that can talk to your customers such as through bots.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Initially it is easy to learn, and a lot can be built quickly just using the UI and low code aspect of the product. It starts getting a bit more challenging when Power Automate is combined with Power Apps. This creates a very compelling solution for other departments to use it in their areas to automate their repetitive tasks.
What do you dislike most about this product?
PowerApps can seem easy to use when you follow the online demos. What they seldom show you is if you try to connect to data without using their card system. This means you will need to write custom queries or as they call them "Patch" statements. These are not something a person on a Finance team can master. They need to create a visual tool like what Access offered in the day to create these statements. Also, PowerApps really only works well with one developer in the application at a time. This makes creating large applications as a team difficult. Keep this in mind when considering going this route.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Watch out for licensing. PowerApps is best when used by small teams for quick hit applications to speed up repetitive tasks. If you create an app with PowerApps, consider every person who uses the application must be licensed and this is charged every month and can add up quickly. I have literally seen companies throw away applications where they intended on the entire organization using them as it was cost prohibitive. Microsoft does not have a cost-effective licensing for such use cases. PowerApps is best when the end user base is just a small team or couple of individuals.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Caring
- Respectful
- Helps Innovate
Cons
- Vendor Friendly Policies

Fantastic product!

What differentiates Microsoft Power Apps from other similar products?
Microsoft Power Apps differentiates itself through deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, including Office 365, Dynamics 365, Azure, and SharePoint. It's part of the broader Microsoft Power Platform, enabling users to build apps, automate workflows (via Power Automate), and gain insights (via Power BI). Power Apps excels at allowing non-developers to create apps quickly while offering advanced features for developers, making it versatile compared to other low-code platforms like Salesforce Lightning or Mendix.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of Power Apps is its seamless integration with Microsoft tools, enabling quick app creation with minimal coding.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I dislike most about Power Apps is its complex licensing structure, which can be confusing and costly for users.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Ensure integration with your Microsoft tools, understand licensing, start with simple projects, and leverage learning resources for smooth adoption.
