I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Microsoft Power Apps could be improved because there are still a lot of jargons and too many moving parts. For example, if you look at Copilot, the term Copilot is confusing in the sense of whether it is Copilot in M365, Copilot Studio, or Copilot in Microsoft Power Apps. There is a plan designer which uses Copilot. The whole thing how AI has been positioned is still not lucid for the end user. An end user wants to know exactly what they want and where they go to get it. I think that could also be because things are evolving so fast. From an end-user perspective, the way it has been positioned, the clarity and the boundaries between the different types of offerings and AI offerings available is confusing as of now. There should be better clarity on that. The biggest issue I have, and I have also spoken to a few of my clients about this, is the licensing model. In traditional software development, almost 95 percent of the time, the development team bears the cost of the licenses. For example, if I develop something, I may have to pay licenses for four or five different software that I use. As a user, if you use my services, you probably pay something to me as a subscription, but you do not have to bother about the licenses. All that is wrapped under the hood. Unfortunately, in Power Platform as such, and even in other low-code things like UiPath, if you use a premium feature such as Dataverse, almost everything ends up using Dataverse or SQL Server or some relational database. If you use that, then as an app builder or app maker you have to have a premium license. The end user too would need to have a premium license. That really makes the adoption prohibitive. It is too expensive. We are talking about something like around just for Microsoft Power Apps alone, approximately twenty dollars per month, which is extremely high. Another point to consider for what else can be improved in Microsoft Power Apps is that one does not know what compute power one is getting when one buys a license. If you look at the licensing model, you will get to know how much of Dataverse storage you will get in terms of log storage, database storage, and file storage. However, you do not get to know how much of compute power is being given to you. I do not think Microsoft has an SLA saying that any request of a certain amount, such as MB per second, you will get a response time of whatever, one by sixtieth of a second or some millisecond. I do not think that they have that performance SLA in place. They do have storage SLA which comes with the license, but they do not have a corresponding SLA for performance.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"There are great templates on offer that make creating apps easy."
"PowerApps is incredible."
"I like the solution's ability to approve some tasks electronically."
"In Microsoft PowerApps the most valuable features are the fully customizable design that we can control everything that we would like to control. For example, the integration between Microsoft and third-party services through pre-built connectors, and the functionality to create custom connectors."
"I have found the technical support to be helpful."
"Creating a PowerApp is very easy. All I do is link and share the result with my colleagues. Deployment is very fast."
"The UI functionality is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"It is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"We're running a campaign to encourage users to utilize the Power Apps."
"When it comes to PowerApps, debugging can be difficult at times. It would be beneficial to simplify it."
"Because we have a lot of data and users, achieving an appropriate level of security and privacy is sometimes difficult, especially for sensitive data."
"We would like to see some improvement in the cost of the solution when an organization has a more complex network structure. The advanced connectors are very expensive, which discourages our customers from implementing it."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"The flexibility and the user interface need improvement."
"Improvements could include more templates for application development, especially those commonly used across different companies."
"If the price was reduced and the quality of the user interfaces was improved it would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"There are two licensing costs, one is pay-as-you-go, or you can develop it for one year."
"It is not expensive. There is no licensing cost."
"This is not an expensive product and there are no licensing fees."
"The price for the license could be more cost-effective."
"It might be too complicated to continuously monitor the business consumption and what to pay."
"Whatever the cost of licensing is, it is in the millions."
"My company has non-profit licensing, and hence, it is affordable. Pricing depends on usage."
"The tool is neither cheap nor expensive. The tool's cost is manageable."
