"low-code" is not "no-code".

Likeliness to Recommend

4 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Power Apps from other similar products?

They say it's a low-code platform, which is true for simple things. But as soon as you want to do something a little complex, you have to write formulas that look a lot like code.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that the formula language is similar to excel. If you are good with excel formulas, you will find it easier to learn. It gives you a lot of power to customize your app.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It gets very complicated very fast. The learning curve is much steeper than they advertise.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Don't be fooled. You still need to have a logical, developer-like mindset to build good apps.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Trustworthy

Cons

Leverages Incumbent Status
Slower Product Innovation

The performance can be a problem.

Likeliness to Recommend

5 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Power Apps from other similar products?

I built an app that connects to a large sharepoint list, and it is very slow. It takes a long time to load the data, and filtering is not very fast.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that it is easy to connect to different data sources. I can pull in data from sharepoint, excel, and sql server all into one single app.

What do you dislike most about this product?

You have to be very careful about delegation warnings. If you don't, your app will be very slow.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are building an app with a lot of data, you need to think carefully about performance.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Trustworthy
Unique Features

Cons

Less Effective Service
Wastes Time
