Great custom app building tool but expensive and not entirely easy
Good app building, but when you reach a certain level of use and complexity you have to pay for a mind blowing licence that most small and medium business won’t be able to afford. That’s why for small and medium business I’ll probably continue to recommend AppSheet instead of Power Apps.
PROSThanks to the integration of Figma, you can give great look to your apps. The ability to create both desktop and mobile apps is great. It is easy to deploy. It easily connect to SharePoint lists and librairies.
CONSIf you want to setup specific behavior, the coding language of Power Apps is not really easy and many times you’ll have to turn to Power Automate to complete the business flow wanted for your app. Also the personalization options of Power Apps are limited, that’s why I recommend designing your app in Figma and import your Figma in Power Apps.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Power Apps
Because I upgraded my Microsoft 365 licence and the level of features of Power Apps with my licence for my current needs was enough for now to stop paying for AppSheet, but should my needs increase I may consider returning to AppSheet since it’s less expensive than the upgrade licence of Power Apps.

Powerful yet simple, low code application building
Developing in Power Apps has been really enjoyable because of the ability to achieve quick outcomes that are also powerful and therefore can be used meaningfully within my organisation.
PROSIf you can imagine it, you can build it. Power apps has a simple interface for designing and deploying applications that is flexible and lead to beautifully designed applications with minimum effort. Coupled with Power Automate, Power apps is a powerful tool that, with a small amount of simple code, can produce powerful outcomes. Also, as part of the Office 365 suite Power Apps can make use of staff user information and through Power Automate, perform complex actions across all most other apps across the suite.
CONSForm field creation is simple but time-consuming without the ability to template a form field for re-use. Power FX, the coding language behind Power Apps is simple for basic applications but can quickly become difficult to master as you begin to do more with your app. Though often you can offload the processing to Power Automate where you can do more without having to type code.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Power Apps
Power Apps as part of the Office 365 suite is an absolute no-brainer because of how it natively integrates across the suite.

Experience on this app.
The thing I like the most about this software is the simplicity of the design, easy to navigate.
CONSWhat I least like about this now, is that I have to verify myself every single day before I can use it which consume my time.

Low-code, but daunting and sluggish
We attempted to use Power Apps to create a tracking app for external trainees.
PROSPower Apps offers real strength in its integration with SharePoint and the rest of the Office ecosystem. Pricing is reasonable, as some access is included with some tiers of Microsoft 365,
CONSWe found that running an app on top of a SharePoint list resulted in a sluggish experience that discouraged our external users. In addition, designing a Power App seems a little more daunting than in a competitive no-code/low-code product.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Power Apps
Initially we chose Power Apps because it was included in our Microsoft subscription and because of the integration with SharePoint. We ultimately switched to AppSheet.

A great low-code platform
As a smaller organization, we don't have access to tons of resources or the money to gain that access. Power Apps came out at the perfect time for some direct needs we had and we haven't looked back. While it took (and is still taking) a bit of time to learn the platform and the constant state of change it is in, there is no way we could have created the tools that we now have in any other platform. We are able to get the right information to the right people at the right time and have them take meaningful action on it in a way that we can customize and make "our own". This is far better than any out-of-the-box solution as we don't have to make many compromises and it can be tailor-fit to our needs and refactored as those needs change. While this tech comes at a cost, it has saved us literally tens of thousands of dollars per year in employee hours, preventative loss due to near-real-time data being at our fingertips, and even helping us to realize income faster. It has been a force multiplier that allows us to compete on a level that a company of our size probably wouldn't be able to otherwise.
PROSThe thing I like most about Power Apps is the fact that a person can go from problem to solution in a short amount of time, and share that solution with anyone in the company who needs it. While that is a bit simplified, it's mostly the way things work. Of course, the caveats begin with all the licensing and data source considerations but, generally speaking, it is super easy to get a solid tool into production and get back to business.
CONSThe main issues I have with Power Apps are how difficult it can be to style apps. There are precious few ways to implement a pre-defined design (and frankly, I'm not a fan of any of them) so there is a good amount of front-end work if you want your apps to be consistent and follow a system. I think this could be viewed as a small issue, but I think it is one that doesn't need to exist in the way it does. There are other gripes I could post as well about how difficult it can be to do seemingly simple things. For instance, there is no way to fit text horizontally. To do this, you have to create an HTML text object, rotate it 90 degrees, use the vertical fit to get the size, and apply that to a horizontal text control. Of course, the realist in me chalks this up to the low code nature of the tool and that there are going to be some blind spots. I've not found an issue that couldn't be hacked around in some way and while this isn't ideal, it is still faster and cheaper than building the tool in something else.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Power Apps
I don't recall the names of the different products we looked at but none of them had the flexibility or ability to integrate with the tools we were already using and in the ways we needed. It has been the perfect fit for our company.

Easy-to-use Business Apps Builder.
I use Microsoft Power Apps within the Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem and Office 365. For instance, I build simple Power Apps consisting of Power Automate, Power Bi dashboard, Microsoft forms, Outlook, and OneDrive connectors. Then I publish the application internally within my company's SharePoint to allow team members access to data insights and learning analytics regarding our company's training programs and students' performance. Microsoft Power Apps empower team members to make data-informed decisions and product iterations. It allows instant feedback, facilitates a dynamic workflow, and enhances business performance.
PROSMicrosoft Power Apps is an efficient low-code Business applications Solution. It's easy to use and allows non-developers to create and customize applications tailored to their business needs. Power Apps make it easy to turn ideas into published applications and keep creators focused on the business aspects/goals of the applications rather than the technologies under the hood. It has a user-friendly drag and drop editor, custom templates, and a wide range of connectors that seamlessly integrate multiple applications into one PowerApp.
CONSThe Microsoft Power Apps access Permission management requires a deeper level of technical expertise and confuses users with a non-technical background.

Power Apps is a fantastic Low Code Dev Platform if you are using O365
We are using O365 pretty heavily and had need of some specific applications to manage some processes that were being done manually. Rather than purchasing a product, we decided to use Power Apps to build something to handle these tasks. We already had access to it based on our existing O365 licensing and there were templates that were already close to what we wanted to do. It really only took a couple hours of development to put it together and we had a purpose built app that ultimately didn't cost us anything more than what we already were paying.
PROSThe ease of building a custom app. The functionality you get even with the base M365 licensing. It really only takes a couple hours to put something workable together. With templates it can take even less time.
CONSI can see there can be some clear limitations and scalability. I wouldn't use it to run a whole operation, but smaller specific apps. Licensing beyond the base features can be confusing and can get expensive quickly. Potentially more than just purchasing a program from some other vendor. Not everyone documents pieces of their app properly and can lead to issues. This is just a problem with self development of an app.

Excelente ferramenta
Uma pessoa de conhecimento médio no pacote Office pode operar com tranquilidade o PowerApps. São opções ilimitadas para uma mente criativa.
PROSAdoro a integração nativa com os produtos Microsoft Office 365. O menu é bem intuitivo e prático de navegar. Demonstrando muita facilidade para qualquer pessoa da organização que não esteja ligada a TI poder desenvolver seus próprios recursos de trabalho sem depender de terceiros ou um software pago.
CONSSinto falta da possibilidade de editar a questão artística dos apps. Os produtos da Microsoft em geral pecam muito nesse quesito de liberdade artística das ferramentas.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Power Apps
Pela comodidade sem necessidade de ter que criar tudo do zero. Pois poderia aproveitar o que ja tinha no Excel e adaptar para o PowerApps.
Reasons for switching to Microsoft Power Apps
Por ser muito mais cômodo tratar os dados num aplicativo pela facilidade que teria em poder carregar no smartphone ao ter que esperar chegar em casa e abrir o Excel para preencher com o que eu havia anotado no TO DO da Microsoft também.

Microsoft PowerApps-Low Code Development Platform
Overall, it is a good tool for building an app with low code.
PROSThe main advantage of PowerApps is that we can easily build the app without development knowledge. It can be integrated with SharePoint and Azure. It has a user-friendly interface that everyone can use and build their own app. Using PowerApps we can create mobile and desktop apps simultaneously.
CONSThe main drawback of PowerApps is the cost of license. It will be better if we have more themes and layout for creating the app.

Not for beginners
I enjoy using the products included with the Microsoft suite, as they enhance simple enterprise solutions without spending too much time. Power Apps is no exception, it allows you to build complex forms that provide a better user experience than dealing directly with Sharepoint forms (which is my use case) or any other backend.
CONSThere is a steep learning curve. Other products like Power Automate or Power BI can be used with a basic grasp of logic and following some wizards and tutorials, but Power Apps will require you to invest a lot more time to be able to produce something of value.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Power Apps
I chose Power Apps because it is included with the Microsoft productivity suite that is provided by the company. I have had overall a good experience with Power products and Power Apps is no exception, but it is definitely for advanced/technical users.
