Vinyl Reviews & Product Details

The software is already robust and extremely functional and continues to get better with each release. The Zudy development team is constantly making features bigger, faster and easier to use. The capabilities of Vinyl seem to be endless.

I think setting up pages to look more modern is a little bit of a challenge. However, with a little help from HTML and CSS tutorials this can be done.

Vinyl offers many features to help solve a wide variety of business problems. It allows you to collect and show data across many different systems and provides you an easy way to show that data on a page. It also allows for easy API's setup with the ability to incorporate those endpoints into any action in Vinyl.

VINYL sits in our network on a very small environment, and it doesn't require a lot of infrastructure. Almost everything it needs sits on its own server, and it just works. It talks to all our other systems and brings their data into one place, where we can do almost anything we want with it.

VINYL has an awkward initial interface. Once you've learned it, it's pretty easy, but guessing what some of the terms in the IDE mean can be really hard.

We're combining a bunch of different systems to cross-reference the data in them, and provide a single view to our users. We've also been able to start storing entirely new data in the system as well. Vinyl provides a key "glue" to connect other commercial systems that are customized for a particular type of users, but are required for another type of user.

Coming from a background with no Computer Science, programing language or database experience I was blown away at how quickly I have been able to learn VINYL to make applications from scratch.

I wish that there was an option to view table joins visually with the lines drawn between tables. But, once I was able to learn the correct time/place for each join the need for this feature has kind of gone away.

I have used VINYL to build and improve applications in multiple industries including: Men's custom suits, automotive recall, medical recall and insurance.

The ability to quickly deploy applications whenever a business need arises.

UI/UX could be improved to look more modern.

I built an application to support retail employees better assist their customers. Associates can view pictures and details of all items a customer has purchased and kept. Visual purchase history allows the associate to provide tailored recommendations that complement items a customer already owns.

VINYL is able to connect with what seems like an endless amount of data sources. The speed to get a feature developed or even an entire app is like nothing else I have ever worked with.

Most complaints have been small things, that have been addressed with new updates that come out frequently.

VINYL is extremely flexible and we have been able to come up with a solution for almost any problem. Apps have ranged from HR and Finance to even Call Center Management.

The best part about Vinyl is the simplicity and limited redundancy in development work. Once you write your logic it flows throughout the platform, from making application pages to API endpoints. Very similar to the security model, set it at one level and the platform allows you to easily enable security models down to the record.

The lack of flexibility with the UI is hard for a traditional developer, you will have to be more creative. However, the Vinyl development team is quick to respond to necessary changes.

We are solving many business problems with Vinyl from Workforce management, Customer Outreach, POS/Sales Reporting, Order Processing and Store Tracking. It enables us to be quick and efficient.

I went from an application concept to a fully functional app in only a week. And I didn't have to write a single line of code.

When you're coming from a world of heavy computer programming and writing thousands of lines of code to achieve the same results as you can in Vinyl, it's hard to say that there are any downsides.

We created an application to modernize our user interface, improve the user experience, provide measurable reporting, and streamline our business process.

User interface, flexibility to attack business problems across a variety of functions

System is very flexible from a developer perspective, but limited on end user perspective.

Currently I have built/helped build applications focused on reporting (financial reporting system, management dashboards), but I have also developed an app to streamline commissions calculations. The benefits realized are time saved (countless hours saved from pulling reports from various systems and manipulating data in excel to generate reports), and reduction of human error when generating these reports.

Vinyl provides the ability to turn business problems into business solutions in a matter of days

I haven't encountered anything that the Developers wouldn't correct quickly or add in as a feature.

It solves complicated business problems, while adding in the value of data visibility, reporting, process workflow, and charting.

Light integration, speed of development, ability to customize but still have a consistent UEX. Vinyl doesn't replace your existing systems, it makes them 10 times better while allow you to build your own apps and create a competitive advantage.

There are a handful of UI features I'd like that to have. These reflect UEX features I've seen on consumer apps. But with a new release of Vinyl every 6 weeks, I'm sure those items will come quick!

We solve many business needs with Vinyl. Vinyl let's us define how we want to run our business then use Vinyl to enforce that business process. We are also able to deliver a consistent user experience to our end users. We tackled a number of challenges: CRM, HR, BI reporting, event and workforce management.
