Enabling InfoPath for SharePoint Online
We were thinking about enabling InfoPath on our SharePoint Online platform.
The attached message appears which caused some concern.
It states that O365 will support InfoPath forms through 2015.

So one other big problem with PowerApps vs InfoPath. How do you save a great powerapp form as part of a site or list template? You could do this with InfoPath and a form Library... but PowerApps are still weak in support of building real enterprise type apps.
...and external users cannot view/use powerapps forms. Not a big deal for some, but we work on major projects with multiple partners and organizations. Until MS figures this out powerapps is dead to us. If/when they permanently retire InfoPath we would have to jump to Nintex or other.
- I agree that MS Forms is can be another option in various cases - if you need the database control, you could create a flow that populates a SharePoint list whenever an MS form is filled out.
- MS Forms as in the simple survey / quiz maker? lol, we need databound controls at minimum, with some basic capacity for logic and code; a business tool. Not sure why they named it Forms, should have been called MS Poll Maker.
Chad WoodwardMicrosoft Forms can be used with anyone and could be a good replacement for some InfoPath forms.
