Overall Satisfaction with Power Apps

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.
  • We can reduce development time and enhancing agility
  • development and maintenance cost is comparatively low
  • May be it generate performance issue in large application
  • In some cases connectors are only for premium users
It has overall good user friendly development feasility. First one is low-code platform. Even beginner can develop in this. Other one is its Microsoft ecosystem that gives complete control over microsoft applications. I'm not giving 10 becaue it has some drawbacks like it not good at dealing with non-microsoft apps, large data processing.
I think Appian has all major features and my Manager gives this 2 tools to choose one from that. I found Power Apps is easy to learn and develop, but I feel Appian is realy complex. I strugles to learn something in Appian but that didn;t works well. Power Apps gives me confidence to choose that app by its user friendly development console and other features

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.
