Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The security is the most valuable feature, in particular, the way I can give different access to different areas to different people, so you can really fine-tune access for different users."
"We like that this solution allows us to fully define our test environments, and link them using different code. This means we can do different tests, but with one basic structure, and then export the data and use it in other platforms."
"It allows us to provide all the information in one single place."
"The flows are good because they can be used in a variety of situations."
"When I am developing any user UI, it gives me complete flexibility. I can manage in any way I want."
"The features I find the most valuable are the 365 and Microsoft applications integrations and the automation."
"The solution allows you to use data to create excellent UI and quickly deliver an app. It speeds up production time."
"I like the containerization of Azure."
"The solution is very straightforward. Its context is obvious and everything is easy to understand."
"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."
"When we talk of integrating with external applications, that's one area where, even today, I had to loop in my code developers. If this area can be streamlined so that my techno-functional consultants, who are on-site, can immediately start working on something without the assistance of developers, that would be ideal."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"The availability of templates needs to be improved. I understand that the ecosystem around it is still developing, but we need more templates. I would like the entire ecosystem around it to improve. I would recommend adding AI components. Even though we can always connect to Azure for AI components, they should slowly start looking at adding some AI components to PowerApps so that out-of-the-box learning can be applied to process flows. Salesforce has the Einstein layer that works along with license platforms. PowerApps should also have something similar."
"Improvements to the capturing of geographic locations and integration with maps would raise my score of the product from seven point five to its maximum of ten."
"It has to improve the threshold limit where it can handle data beyond 5000 items."
"The price could be lower."
"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"It is not enough user friendly. It also doesn't integrate very well with SQL Server."
