What Low-Code Enables
Rapid app building, citizen development, custom extensions without deep engineering. Extends CRM into use cases the core product doesn’t cover.
Power Platform
D365’s extension story. Broad, deep, and tightly coupled with Microsoft ecosystem. Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Copilot Studio.
Zoho Creator
Tight integration with Zoho One. Simpler than Power Platform; less capable at enterprise scale.
ServiceNow App Engine
Now Platform for custom apps. Strong if you’re already on ServiceNow. Expensive as standalone.
Governance
Low-code sprawls without governance. Center of Excellence, maker inventory, decommissioning process. The productivity gains disappear if shadow apps proliferate.
