Rationale

Microsoft Power Platform is a comprehensive low-code platform that directly competes with Retool. It offers a suite of products (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Pages, Copilot Studio) that collectively provide all the 'must-have' features and many 'other' features. The platform emphasizes low-code development, integration with various data sources, UI building, code customization, and enterprise-grade security and governance. The website explicitly mentions connectors for data sources, drag-and-drop tools, AI-powered assistants, security and governance features, and the ability to build various types of applications and workflows.
