I've only just discovered Power Pages. The team that I am in at work currently using SharePoint. What are the advantages of using Power Pages over using a SharePoint site?

    @ragavanrajan If what we are building will not be used externally, does it make sense to stick with SharePoint, or are there advantages to using Power Pages for internal use only over SharePoint?

    Hi @HamidBee 

     

    Welcome to the power pages forum. It's a broad topic. 

    In simple terms, using power pages you can rapidly build sites that deliver information and services to the customer. In addition, the following are the high-level features 

     

    • Data-driven websites creation 
    • Dynamic data handling using liquid language 
    • Allow external users securely to your site. 
    • Use out-of-the-box functionality to collect data. 
    • Design site using design studio
    • Customization and extensibility 

    Integration with the database is a big plus for making complex calculation 

    •   Also, SharePoint is especially for intranet, Power pages are for Public, internal and external

     

    Hope it helps.

    Hi @HamidBee 

     

    Internal users can use only Sharepoint, while Internal & External both users can use PowerPages. If you want to access your customer to specific records or your customer can view their cases or order.
