Vinyl Reviews & Product Details

From manually distributing paper to a report/dashboard our users were able to easily navigate Vinyl's front end reporting and workflow tools.

While I have some SQL background and have taken Vinyl trainings, we rely on Vinyl's development team to help us create complex reports and workflows. I can navigate a bit myself but usually will need assistance.

Changing business processes from manual/paper to digital form, creating new reports and analytics for the front and back office.

The software is very flexible and allows us to make changes throughout the development process without any costly setbacks. The Zudy team also spent the time to understand our business

There's not many items to dislike because the Zudy team has been able to overcome every challenge during development

We use the program to run our operations and connect to multiple internal and external databases to streamline our entire operation

Flexibility, Quick turnaround, Easy configurations and Search capabilities within Data Catalog

Framework limitation of separating menu items with vinyl view page names. Hope it will be addressed soon.

It allows us to add database schemas, objects, panels and customizations quickly and few clicks to deploy the solution into production. Search capabilities to find Catalog entries and data within view pages are very useful and save users time.

Easy to build, use & customize! The team supporting our Vinyl application is dedicated to improving the solutions they offer and is always willing to work with our teams to create the best outcomes.

The interface is great and an improvement from a similar product that we used previously, but it has some limitations in what you can customize to fit your needs. Additionally, I think it could be upgraded a bit to continue to meet design best practices & modernization when it comes to web applications.

It's allowing us to deliver products without the R&D, expertise and people that would typically go into this process. It's also helping us drive revenue and lower expenses in a very meaningful way at our business.

Vinyl makes app development easy. If we think of a problem to solve, we can envision Vinyl being able to solve it with an app. Vinyl is "low code", but it also allows the user to understand how it is working on the back end and simplifies a lot of the configuration needed to build apps. The UI layer is impressive and has many options to build a front end from simple form entries, to complex linked pages and reports. The training modules are also very well done and make it easy to onboard new developers.

I have not found any downsides yet. It's a very flexible product.

We are solving the rigidity and complexity of our ERP system with a much simpler front end and business layer in Vinyl. For example, we can create an app in Vinyl that allows a user to submit and process a PO request in the ERP system. The benefit is that the app makes the end user's life much easier because the ERP system is so difficult to use to create a simple PO.

Easy to use . Maintenance of existing software is stratght forward. Design of UI is excellent

Writing code is the way I do things. Learning object oriented programming is slow for us old coders

We have used vinyl to create a standard UI for our facility. Complex functions are being handled in the background, so operators don't have to deal with them.

Great app development experience. Architects and developers involved in the project are extremely proficient on both how to build applications and on the Zuzy / Vinyl platform.

At this point of the app. development, there's nothing I have found that I dislike, on the contrary, the more I learn about Vinyl, the more happy and impressed I am with the capabilities of Vinyl. Gladly impressed.

In my particular case, we are solving the problem of turning a pen and paper inspection into a digital mobile solution that will go above and beyond, giving extra benefits for the users.

Multiple apps all using the same core data.

Crystal reports are sometimes challenging.

Master Data Management & Development of new SKU's.

I've built many applications in VINYl under compressed timelines. VINYL has several advantages to accomplish this. I can prototype quickly, implementing data schema and user interfaces as I go. I can leverage APIs from external providers, as well as build internally configured ones between VINYL apps. From an efficiency perspective, security through roles and groups is built in, simply requiring some configuration. I've used advanced features when needed to take advantage of custom scanner behavior and other types of peripherals.

I've seen VINYL extend many of its features and its general ease of use over time. One critical improvement would be a mechanism to undo changes or potentially roll back to an established milestone during the development process.

I've implemented all manner of solutions with VINYL, including line of business applications involving warehouse management, call centers, shipping, and billing. I've also used VINYL for a single straight-forward function like fulfilment that needed to be available within a week. VINYL's two biggest benefits to me are rapid development and centralization. Larger projects should still establish good planning artifacts, but its really nice to find everything in one place and be able to turn changes around during the course of a review meeting.

I've been developing low-code / no-code applications to help my Team and my Clients for 15 years now, and Vinyl represents an evolutionary step in the capability of this technology. An application can progress from an idea to a proof-of-concept in hours - not weeks, or months. The online training is comprehensive, so I was able to quickly ramp-up. There is an active community of app developers who are willing to share their know-how, and a knowledge-base that is a permanent record of questions and answers from the developers. In short, Vinyl is a powerful platform.

In the development work I've done, I don't have a complaint. The platform has worked as expected, the technology is mature, and if I don't know how to achieve something I can get help from the Wiki, or ask a Question on the Forums, or even ask for specific help. The support team has also been easy to work with when I've asked for help at the database server level. My observation is that the capabilities of Vinyl are huge (hello REST APIs, Widgets, Workflow, etc.,), and I don't have time to learn about those capabilities at the moment.

I have been building a suite of applications to improve the delivery capabilities of my Consulting Business, and to provide a differentiator between my business and my competitors. The applications I have developed are a significant improvement on the ideas I had when I started - I can now deliver powerful dashboards for individuals and teams that were not possible 10 years ago.
