Power Apps- low code with Microsoft ecosystem
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I used the Power Apps tool mainly for two processes: one for employee performance tracking and the other for NACH form creation and management for a project POC. In both cases, this tool was perfect because our organization uses Microsoft Teams and Outlook for main communication. As a result, the integration, tracking, and everything else were easy for us. Moreover, it can integrate with Power Automate, and a single click in Power Apps can trigger an entire Power Automate process, which attracts me even more.
Pros
- Seamless integration with Microsoft ecosystem
- Easy development of Ui and easy to give controls
- Cross platform compatiability is a new
Cons
- need to improve UI improvement options like styling. Currently I personally feels like using HTML without CSS
- Sometimes it produce different outputs for same formula, may be it was a but that I encounter.
- What if I want to integrate with non-Microsoft tools. I feel diffuculty in integrating with other apps
- Sometimes app's response was weird. It simply stuck in same page for long time.
Likelihood to Recommend
It well suits for some kind of internal process tracking, automation and other works. We can simply integrate, automate, analyze and display. Its low-code solution and rapid development option suits well for internal purpose even a beginner can create app with Power Apps. In out organization we used it for employeeperformance tracking and it currently works well.
I don't recommend it for ui that requires highly attractive design and more complex ui controls. And other is applications using high data transaction and advanced data processing.
