FAQs

01

The Microsoft Power Platform is a business applications platform offering a suite of low-code/no-code tools that allows users to build apps, automate workflows, analyse data, and create virtual agents. It’s designed to empower everyone, from business users to professional developers, to innovate and solve problems using data-driven insights and custom-built solutions.

Microsoft Power Platform offers several benefits for users, including:

  • Faster app development with low-code tools

  • Seamless integration with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and hundreds of other services
  • Scalability and security with built-in Microsoft security standards
  • Empowerment of non-technical users to solve problems independently

Microsoft Power Platform offers various licensing models: subscriptions, add-ons, and pay-as-you-go meters, each suited to different user needs and usage patterns.

Subscription plans are available per app, user, or flow, with premium tiers and options for authenticated or anonymous users. Add-ons expand capabilities, including AI Builder, Dataverse, and Power Platform Requests capacity, along with specialised tools like Process Mining and unattended RPA for Power Automate.

Power Platform also provides limited use rights via select Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Office 365, and Windows licenses, enabling the creation of apps and workflows using Microsoft data and standard connectors.

Pricing can be complex due to the breadth of options. For tailored guidance, contact Nasstar - a Microsoft Partner and Power Platform specialist - who can help identify the right solution for your business.

05

As part of the Microsoft ecosystem, Power Platform stands out for its deep integration with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure. It combines Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, and Power Pages in a unified suite powered by Dataverse for secure data management.

Other low-code platforms often emphasise specific capabilities, like app building or AI, and while they may offer third-party connectors, they typically lack the seamless integration with Microsoft services that Power Platform delivers.

Power Platform's flexible licensing - subscriptions, add-ons, and pay-as-you-go options - paired with built-in rights from certain Microsoft licenses, makes it ideal for organisations invested in the Microsoft environment. Competing platforms vary in features and licensing, ranging from freemium to enterprise, but may not offer the same level of interoperability or governance

06

Absolutely. Power Platform supports integration with legacy systems and modern applications through a vast library of connectors. These enable connections to databases, enterprise apps, and services like SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, and Google tools.

For systems without APIs, Power Automate offers UI flows that simulate human actions through RPA, allowing even older, on-premise systems to be included in automated processes. This empowers organisations to modernise without replacing existing infrastructure.
