Vinyl Reviews & Product Details

The challenge at the business level is the IT can build things, but they don't understand the business need/intent/problem. The Vinyl team not only has the tool, but the people to partner to provide the business what they need that provides better data and frees up workload for executives.

The tool is all positive from our side - no negatives.

1. Where our oversold issues are with Amazon and what the opportunity is 2. Weekly orders by account/sales people going from a very manual process to a very simple automated self serve portal. Terrific.

As a non developer, vinyl software is very easy to use. We are creating apps in short spaces of time compared to the months and months some coded apps take. Zudy also provide us with support from all pages we are working on and encourage us to suggest new features we would like to see in new versions of Vinyl. In addition to this, new features are being added all the time and you can use the provided 'wiki' to learn more about them and how to use them. Vinyl also allows the development team to work remotely using collaborative development as it is accessed online. This means multiple developers can work on it at the same time and any changes made will immediately be available to the other developers.

Documentation currently has to be done manually so it can take up some of the developers 'developing' time. Providing this is done along side the development documentation should be thorough and the client will have opportunities to approve of this regularly, at their convenience.

As far as I have seen there is a solution to everything with Vinyl. as long as you have the required data. The client should be open with the consultant as to what they want to see in their app and by working together you can achieve the app you envisioned.

Vinyl has the ability to quickly connect to many different data sources and other services. This allows information from disparate systems to be presented easily in one place and enables integration with any number of legacy or third-party systems.

In the past, the front-end page design look and feel wasn't quite as customizeable as desired. However, new capabilities are added with every framework upgrade, and the ability to easily apply themes and design aesthetics is constantly improving.

With Vinyl, we've gotten to minimum viable product for applications in a couple months instead of 12+ months! That has allowed us to replace legacy systems which didn't grow with our business and which limited our responsiveness to change. Some of these include new apps for: - Managing custom "Made to Measure" garment orders - Garment Alteration management - In-Store Task Management - Enhanced In-Store Item Inquiry With Vinyl, we've been able to respond to changing demands of the business with new apps and updates to apps in weeks or months instead of years.

Vinyl's speed to deploy really amazed our business. We went from a rough concept to Pilot program very quickly (weeks). It was flexible enough to meet all of our business requirements and we were able to gain efficiency that saved us time and resources along the way.

Buy in and involvement from the Business up front is key. This can be very difficult but will pay dividends in the long run. Customized user guides would also be beneficial.

Vinyl solved two main problems for us; Capacity and resourcing. Originally, we used an outdated platform that had limited scalability, flexibility and required our IT department involvement to run the day to day business. Once the full transition to Vinyl was completed, we were able to increase our output with 1/2 of the resources (none IT) in the same amount of time. This platform empowered the business to meet and exceed customers expectation without requiring the usual drawn out IT processes and implementation. We are now working to implementing this tool across our full business unit.

I manage the Vinyl portfolio at my company and I have grown to become very impressed with the quickness of implementations, quality of applications and the attentive customer service from the Zudy project team. The numerous applications we have implemented has proven to enhance the quality of work and improve efficiencies, which are key results from automating operational processes and reducing resource hours and efforts. It helps that the Zudy team follows a standard process for implementing projects, enhancements and quick fixes. This has allowed us to hit our timeline in an efficient way and ensure transparency with those involved.

Financially, the implementations are pretty costly but you would have to consider the quality of work produced and improvements made overtime. I would recommend an ROI analysis to ensure you're getting the "bang for your buck". In addition too, the Vinyl implementations have questioned our internal abilities to deliver quick and quality products within our own IT Department. It's pretty difficult to compare "apples to oranges" / "no-code apps to configurable apps" so it's necessary to explain the difference often. This is an opportunity to learn from Zudy and implement some best practices.

What business problems are we not solving! We are nearing two years since we have collaborated with Zudy. Since then, we have implemented about 10 applications along with many improvements and quick fixes. As time goes on, more and more business users learn about "Vinyl" and/or "Zudy", they hear about the amazing work delivered and the improvements our internal and external customers experienced. We are seeing many benefits across multiple departments – people are catching on and want a piece of it.

Vinyl makes it incredibly easy to translate business requirements into a functional application. Implementations and iterations happen quickly compared to other development platforms which enables me to react quickly to changing business needs.

As a former front end developer, I've found that my go-to toolbox of UI tricks are not necessarily the right way to implement styling changes. That said, the application has made it incredibly easy to customize the client side appearance without requiring me to decipher thousands of lines of CSS.

Product processing seems to be one business problem that arises fairly often for my team. Using Vinyl, we can create an application in a matter of days which is custom tailored to a specific process instead of bending a process around the limitations of an existing application. Additionally, because Vinyl allows us to integrate seamlessly with multiple and varied legacy systems, we can better focus on the actual business problem.

Vinyl is very easy to integrate with many different systems and API's. Developing with Vinyl allows you to be creative because you are always finding different ways to accomplish what you need to do. With the latest UI/UX changes it has become even easier to learn and use Vinyl. The support team for Vinyl is excellent as well.

For those who do not have a relational database background, I think it would be helpful if Vinyl offered tips to users while building out their applications. For instance, calling out missing indexes and long running queries could help novice users tune their applications much quicker.

Using Vinyl I am able to solve numerous business problems along with keeping development costs at a minimum.

Before working with Vinyl I had very limited experience in app development. The speed and power that we gain through using Vinyl has been incredible to witness and be a part of. Even with all of the abilities which vinyl possesses, it remains a simple and straight forward tool to use. Learning to build apps within vinyl has been so much fun and allows for quick and collaborative creations.

Sometimes I do get confused with terminology used within vinyl but as I have worked with the tool more it is becoming very simple to understand the language used.

Vinyl allows for extremely quick development of complex and customizable applications.

I like how fast and intuitive it is to use VINYL. My favorite thing, though, is that Zudy is always looking for ways it can improve its technology; this comes with an updated release of VINYL every 3 months.

I don't like that Vinyl doesn't allow full use of design elements. I will say, they are working on this.

created an application for a medical company needed a way for their users to get in line at a nearby medical facility from their phone. VINYL allows for quick app development
