Microsoft Power Apps Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about Microsoft Power Apps is how it helps eliminate repetitive manual work. In our case, we used to manually download executed documents from Adobe Sign based on tracking information in an Excel sheet. It was time-consuming and prone to errors if someone missed a row or filtered incorrectly.

With Power Apps, we were able to create a more structured internal process around that tracking. It integrates well with Excel and other Microsoft tools, which made implementation easier for us.

It’s especially helpful for internal operational tools where you don’t need a full enterprise-grade application but still want something more controlled and scalable than spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is the learning curve. It’s marketed as low-code, but to build anything meaningful, you still need to understand formulas, logic, and how data connections work. It’s not completely plug-and-play.

Licensing can also be confusing depending on connectors and features. Some advanced integrations require premium plans, which adds cost.

Performance can slow down when working with larger Excel files or more complex data sources. Also, troubleshooting errors isn’t always intuitive — sometimes it takes trial and error to figure out what’s wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Microsoft Power Apps to capture and manage build information across nearly 490 AWS accounts, giving us a single, structured interface for data collection, validation, and updates. It replaces scattered spreadsheets and manual tracking with a centralized, governed workflow that improves accuracy, accelerates audits, and gives our cloud team real‑time visibility into every account’s configuration and lifecycle.

Accont owners need to know the VPC CIDR ranges, who created the account etc information, so this serves as one stop shop for all such information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have custom API's built to fetch information from AWS but the performance is dropping considering our large dataset.

May be I feel like, Azure would be its preferred platform for seamless integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Microsoft Power Apps is how quickly you can turn an idea into a working application without deep coding knowledge. The seamless integration with Microsoft 365 tools like SharePoint, Teams, and Excel makes it very practical for real business use cases. It empowers teams to solve operational problems fast without waiting on long development cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Microsoft Power Apps is that performance can sometimes lag when apps become complex or handle large datasets. Customization beyond a certain level can also feel limiting compared to full-code development. Additionally, managing governance and licensing across environments can get confusing for larger teams.

What I like best about Microsoft Power Apps is how easy it makes building apps without deep coding knowledge. The drag-and-drop interface and ready-made connectors save a lot of time and make development feel accessible. I also like how well it integrates with other Microsoft tools like SharePoint and Teams. Overall, it helps me turn ideas into working solutions quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Microsoft Power Apps is that it can feel limiting for more complex or highly customized applications. Performance can sometimes be an issue, especially with larger datasets or complicated logic. Debugging errors isn’t always straightforward, which can be frustrating. Also, licensing and pricing can be confusing and restrictive depending on the features you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Microsoft Power Apps makes it incredibly easy to build custom apps quickly using its drag‑and‑drop interface, rich connectors, and deep integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure, which helps even non‑technical users create real solutions fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Microsoft Power Apps is that building anything beyond simple apps can become difficult, as advanced customization, responsive design, and complex logic often feel limiting or cumbersome, and performance can slow down when working with larger data sets.

Two of the best things that I like as a developer while using powerapps is its capability to design applications whether it is a basic one or advance, is low coding. The hassle free drag and drop and function usage to deliver that I want to achieve.

Another thing is the support receive dfrom the tech giant Microsoft when issues arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having worked on powerapps for quite some time, one of the things that I dislike is its lags a lot sometimes and I need to refresh it again after writing the function in order to see the result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy drag and drop interface that make us easy too work and which makes app building fast and accessible.

We can with connects with Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, and hundreds of other data sources.

We can also integrates with Power Automate

It has higher rate of return significant cost savings and faster development cycles compared to traditional coding like java, python Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apps may experience slow loading times and inconsistent performance, particularly with large datasets

UI/UX customization is restricted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best how Microsoft Power Apps enables me to rapidly create custom business applications using its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, without requiring extensive coding expertise. As a mechatronics engineer working with automation tools at Dana Incorporated, I particularly appreciate its seamless integration with Microsoft services like SharePoint, Excel, and Power Automate, which has significantly streamlined my workflows for managing test data and developing simple HIL prototypes. The platform's extensive library of pre-built templates and connectors has empowered me to prototype innovative ideas quickly, test them effectively, and deploy functional apps across my team within hours rather than weeks.

One limitation I’ve encountered is the performance issues with complex apps or large datasets, where loading times can slow down significantly during HIL testing workflows. The advanced customization often requires workarounds or Power Fx formulas that feel clunky compared to full coding environments like Python or MATLAB. Additionally, the premium licensing costs add up quickly for teams needing connectors beyond the basics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the freedom Microsoft Power Apps gives because I can create my own design. Even without a coding background, I can create something very nice-looking and functional, usually quicker than a pro developer would take in a pro code environment. It's a much better platform than Excel for gathering data, and it provides a nicely designed, user-friendly interface for interacting with data. I also appreciate that it's a source of data for Power BI reports, and how Power Apps works in synergy with Power Automate and Power BI to create solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the limitations are a double-edged sword because as a non-pro code person, I'm unable to touch the code when I want to. Some factory elements like date pickers are way too limited and often require workarounds if you want to implement some extra features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using Microsoft Power Apps for automating manual processes and connecting data sources like SharePoint, SQL Server, and Microsoft 365. It helps reduce the burden on development and IT teams for workflows. I like the centralized access to custom apps, which streamlines processes and improves data management. Apps like the Patient Management System, Attendance Management System, and Inventory Management System are great examples of how accessing data centrally makes processes smooth and data management easy. The cost efficiency, easy mobility, and seamless integration with other tools are what prompted my team to switch from Excel and Google sheets to Microsoft Power Apps. The initial setup was very easy and smooth due to its user-friendly and interactive nature, alongside its integration and compatibility with other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few things need more improvement with time, related to performance and scalability issues. Improving slow app load time, data source throughput, and data delegation limits will make it more favorable in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
