Questions and answers

What is Microsoft Power Apps and what is it used for?
Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code platform from Microsoft for building enterprise apps for web, tablet and mobile with less code than traditional development. It is part of the Power Platform, alongside Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages and Copilot Studio. Companies use Power Apps mainly to digitize internal processes, such as approvals, inspections, registrations, requests and operational controls that used to depend on spreadsheets, email or paper.
What is the difference between Canvas Apps and Model-driven Apps in Power Apps?
Canvas Apps offer complete freedom over the interface and connect to a wide range of data sources, while Model-driven Apps are generated from the Dataverse data model and prioritize structure and business rules. Canvas Apps are a good fit for apps with a custom experience, such as mobile field apps or specific forms. Model-driven Apps are a good fit for management systems with many related records, process flows and detailed access control, with a standardized interface similar to Dynamics 365.
When should you use Power Apps and when should you choose traditional development?
Power Apps is best suited to internal apps that are integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem and focused on business process automation. Traditional development is better suited to customer-facing digital products, applications with very high user concurrency, highly complex interfaces or data-intensive processing. In practice, many companies combine the two: they use Power Apps to gain speed in internal processes and traditional development for core systems and larger-scale products.
How does Power Apps licensing work?
Power Apps licensing depends mainly on the type of connector and the data source the app uses. Microsoft 365 licenses allow Canvas Apps with standard connectors, such as SharePoint, Excel and Outlook. Using Dataverse, premium connectors, custom connectors or the on-premises data gateway requires specific licenses, such as Power Apps Premium (per user), a per-app license or the pay-as-you-go model through Azure. Since prices and rules change frequently, we recommend validating your scenario against Microsoft's official documentation before defining the architecture.
Is Power Apps secure for working with corporate data?
Yes. Power Apps inherits the security infrastructure of the Microsoft cloud and uses Microsoft Entra ID to authenticate users. Apps respect the permissions of the connected data sources, and Dataverse supports access control by role, by record and by field. Administrators can also apply data loss prevention (DLP) policies to restrict which connectors can be used together. Effective security, including compliance with data protection laws such as the LGPD, depends on the correct configuration of environments, permissions and governance policies.
Does Power Apps integrate with SAP, ERPs and legacy systems?
Yes. Power Apps integrates with ERPs, CRMs and legacy systems through native connectors, custom connectors and APIs. For systems such as SAP, there are premium connectors that work with the on-premises data gateway. For systems with no available connector, you can create custom connectors from REST APIs or use services such as Azure Functions and Azure API Management as an intermediate layer. The complexity of the integration depends on whether the source system exposes APIs or accessible databases.
What are the data volume and performance limits of Power Apps?
The main technical limit of Power Apps with large data volumes is delegation. When a query can be processed by the data source itself, Power Apps works with the full dataset. When the query is not delegable, the app processes only the first 500 records by default, a limit that can be raised to 2,000. That is why the choice of data source and the way filters and searches are written in Power Fx are decisive for performance. The platform also applies per-user request limits, which must be taken into account in heavily used apps.
Which data source should a Power Apps app use: SharePoint, SQL Server or Dataverse?
The ideal data source depends on volume, data model complexity and licensing budget. SharePoint lists are suited to simple apps with a lean data structure and low volume, and do not require a premium license. SQL Server is a good fit when the company already keeps relational data in it or needs high volume, but it requires a premium license. Dataverse is the native Power Platform option, with a relational model, business rules, granular security and support for Model-driven Apps, also under premium licensing.
How can you prevent uncontrolled app sprawl in Power Apps?
Uncontrolled app sprawl is prevented with a Power Platform governance strategy defined before usage expands. The most common practices include separating environments by purpose, applying DLP policies, enabling Managed Environments and keeping an inventory of apps, flows and owners. Microsoft offers the CoE Starter Kit for free, a set of tools to monitor platform usage and set up a Center of Excellence. Without these practices, critical apps often end up with no owner when the employee who built them leaves the company.
How does the application lifecycle (ALM) of Power Apps work?
The lifecycle of Power Apps applications is managed with separate environments and Solutions, which package apps, flows, tables and settings so they can be moved between environments. The recommended model uses at least three environments: development, test and production. Deployment can be automated with Power Platform Pipelines, Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, ensuring versioning, traceability and controlled releases. Apps built directly in production, without Solutions, tend to be hard to maintain, version and audit.
