Compare Vinyl with other popular tools in the same category.
Speed of development, very database-driven with flexibility in how you display the data, secure platform, integration with React via a Vinyl widget
Limited interactivity that is typical of SaaS-based apps, not much usage analytics available, bringing the visual interface up to modern designs requires quite a bit of customization
Management of various innovation projects, progress reporting to innovation leadership, user roles & visibility, collaboration between different user personas, rapid development and deployment to help us build faster
Vinyl is a quick and less code development tool to create data forms, reports. dashboards etc
The internal queries that VInyl builds are sometimes heavy on data performance and slowness. More security and single sign on
We use the backend SQL stored proc compiled logic to better the tool's data performance issues. So the tool can get better by utilizing underlying database stored procedures so resolve performance issues
From deployment perspective , its fairly efficient, configuration and installation of Vinyl app is also easy.
The recent upgrade has some flaws, passwords are not encrypted, some of the pages do not show complete info on the screen like ... to deploy an LP, the screen is small, and the full path is not visible. When you click 'Install,' no indication that the system is performing a task, the previous version did have some indication.
From what I understand , provided proper sql queries are used its an ideal tool for reporting. As a member of dev ops team , its easy to spin up a new instance , integrate with AD.
It's very intuitive, even the first time user can figure out how & what to do
N/A - I haven't encountered any issues that I haven't been able to figure out
Assigning 150+ market access to users to update hundreds of on-air personality endorsements and monitoring of sponsorship tour
It is quick to get a request in to the TR to get a acceptance back
The categories for finding out if someone has a conflict are too broad
getting more endorsements on the air
I really like the accessibility it provides for me
Sometime it has its glitches or doesn't load
Helping my customers with their needs
It's very easy to click through the tabs and search for needed information.
It's very slow when loading some profiles and aspects.
It's quick and easy to search for things I need when building proposals
I like that there is a system that can house all endorsements rather than individual personal spreadsheets. Make it easier when orders are coming down very quickly and jocks need to be assigned to campaigns.
I think the system is very difficult to navigate and it's hard to search for things that ran/are currently running. Sometimes you will create a new search and nothing will populate even though the endorsement is in fact in the system.
Being able to hold people more accountable for things since everything needs to go through the system first. However, we have been experiencing orders being sent down without endorsements being submitted through the tool so sometimes it works backwards (not a system issue, more of a communication issue) I feel like there was no proper training on the tool so people are confused.
Rapid development and excellent develolpers/consultants
The options for UI controls are not as flexible but the developers are responsive in asking for improvements from the product team
We needed to build custom intensive order entry applications for different areas of the business; We built out the tools and are rolling them out to 130 retail locations.
Very versatile, easy to use and quick feedback loop
Harder to customize for specific desired outcomes
Helping us build an app without having to develop from scratch
