I spent around a decade in enterprise digitalisation, and now work with organisations transitioning from startup to enterprise along on their journey, and I’ve never seen a good low-code platform. PowerApps are fine though, it’s certainly a lot better than what came before it, but you’re very likely going to end up with terrible flows that lack documentation, testability, maintainability and are far too dependent on certain employees who will easily find better pastures as their low-code platform skills grow. This doesn’t really have anything to do with the low-code tools in my experience. It has far more to do with your organisation, and how it’s put itself into a position where it has in-house software developers but are now using “unprofessionals” to “make do”. Usually because the development teams can’t deliver business value fast enough for whatever reason, but your process people can. The issue is that low-code applications don’t really scale well over time. They can, if you take them stipulated, but if your organisation did take things seriously then you probably wouldn’t be here because you’re worried about the impact they PowerApps will have on your team. So my guess is that they will have an impact and that you’re likely not in much of a position to do that much about it. So here are your options the way I see it, and I know that’s not exactly what you asked, but instead of trying to look for a good technology to solve your organisational challenges, try looking at your processes instead. Why is your organisation turning to PowerApps? Is it because your SWR teams can’t deliver value fast enough? If so, then can you do anything to change that? Stuff like that. I wouldn’t be too optimistic about it though. These issues are very well explored in things like Conways law and more recently in Team Topologies, and their solutions is often going to be alter organisational processes and practices which you sort of can’t do from the bottom up. Because if your leadership took digitalisation seriously you wouldn’t really be worried about whether or not the use of PowerApps, RPA, whatever else, will impact your team.
