8. PowerApps– MicrosoftFlow
PowerApps is a cloud-based
software tool that is used to
create front-end application
based on your business.
PowerApps can connect data
from several different data
sources in 1 App with a few
clicks.
Automate your business with
a flexible user-friendly app!

9. Versus
Model-driven apps are apps that can be
used for more complex business logic but
is not so flexible in design because it
depends on the data you provide and it is
fully integrated with CDS!
Model-driven apps
Canvas-based apps can connect with all
the connectors and you’re free to design it
as you like. The drag and drop makes it
easy to use. These apps can be used in the
web browser, embedded in D365, on the
phone or tablet.
