Vinyl Reviews & Product Details

You can create fully functional and data sourced pages in minutes, and complex applications in a fraction of the time/cost usually associated. On the fly development and review makes it even easier to avoid the usual mistakes. One of the quickest applications I've ever used to build and deploy.

Had a few data issues working with a MySQL database but the framework team resolved them really quickly. S3 integration with densely populated buckets isn't always the quickest.

Allows me to create and develop solutions that would normally be far beyond my reach, linking multiple data sources in simple, yet incredibly effective ways. We've been able to create both front end and back end solutions with a very small team, and the ability to deploy advanced html code and javascript widgets makes it even more powerful to advanced developers.

We were assigned a dedicated developer to work closely with us on an ever changing and tight deadline project.

I would not say there was anything I disliked. They were very good at coming up with solutions to problems we had if their tool might not been able to do exactly what we needed and in fact, these problems were far and few

We need a database to store and collect compensation data for 130 R1 universities. We then needed to push that data back out to the universities for verification. We also sliced and diced the data before sending out. We then needed to review the data and approve any changes the universities might have made before updating the database. We created customized reports, Crystal reports, and the used an api to send data to a website lookup.

US Space Force is a digital workforce. With the emphasis for personnel to be tech-savvy, Zudy’s low-code/no-code SW application allow citizen developers like myself (with little to no coding experience) to create a SW application to deliver operational capabilities at the speed of relevance. I was able to quickly learn how to create an application after completing Zudy Academy courses. The self-paced courses provided an excellent introduction of the Vinyl platform to learn about capabilities, APIs, Data Modeling and Business Logic. After creating my MVP in one weekend, Zudy’s team continued to provide outstanding support to continuously improve my application.

This is the first low-code/no-code platform I’ve used so I don’t have anything to compare Vinyl to. But I can’t think of any dislike/downsides of using Vinyl. Years ago, I tried to learn how to code myself via YouTube videos and various online courses, but honestly, I just couldn’t figure it out. There was so much information out there, I didn’t even know where to start. But with Zudy Academy, I was able to build upon what I learned to successfully create an application on my own.

We need to raise knowledge and advocacy for citizen developers across the Air Force and Space Force to create applications with little to no training to place innovation on the edge. My specific use case was to develop an application by creating an interactive marketplace for government users to seek out and find the best vendors out there to solve their problem, as well as provide a platform for vendors to demonstrate what they can bring to the table.

Vinyl offers a great ability to intake data from multiple sources and intuitively map key elements together to create a complete view of KPI's

Based on current initiatives underway, I have no complaints or dislikes

The initiatives we are focused on currently are centered around the organization and presentation of critical financial data. At a time when we are restructuring our internal systems and, at the same time, acquiring new companies, Vinyl's ability to aggregate, organize and present similar data from multiple systems into a single cohesive view has been extremely valuable

VINYL helps integrate databases well, it makes difficult apps easier to make

Details of launching can reveal oversights

Vinyl allowed us to create a way to protect individual responses to online queries. Once set up it runs well.

Simply put - Their people and their platform, both of equal value and importance. How adaptable and relatively easy to use their Low Code platform is. I tested more than 10 other products over a 2 month period, and was feeling quite hopeless until I stumbled across Zudy. The closest matches in our testing were outsystems and appsheet (for our particular needs), both of those options were far too costly for a start up. I was particularly fond of appsheet for its ease of use but, struggled to get a response from their sales team, and then learned of the $15k per year sql cost. Vinyl was a perfect match for our needs and future growth needs. Beyond the product itself, the people and support are amazing. They are a shining example of how every new customer onboarding experience should be with a software platform. I have 20 years experience in ERP/CRM and backend systems and their process was by far the best I've ever experienced.

It's been a fresh and pleasant surprise to find this company, no issues at all in the first 3 months. I received help daily from their support team. They even setup a dedicated slack support channel where I can tap into their support team for random questions.

Building out a custom CRM and customer portal that taps into our backend data. Their tools allow for easy integration to a ton of backend data sources.

They listened to our needs, offered suggestions to make the application user friendly and delivered very timely.

Using zoom sometimes make it hard to convey exact needs.

Vinyl has built a user friendly application that helps us meet the CDC requirements need for Covid screening for our employees. We are able to use technology to not only screen the employees, and also keep records of questions answered as well as temperatures.

The communication and effectiveness of the team. How quickly they work through issues.

I have no complaints about Martyn’s team.

Database driven schedules and management. Across 10+states and 300+ employees. Different time zones and complex scheduling.

I enjoy working with the team. They are always very helpful and make sure they are constantly in reach. They do focus on the customer first and find solutions that are best for us and our end users

Really hard to find something I dislike. Coming up blank..

We are solving multiple items with VINYL. By using VINYL we have found a way to make our technology that has been around over 20+ years actually make it a commercial solution

Support. This company has great support! Coupling that with an intuitive easy to use platform, our staff has fallen in love with Vinyl.

Is it necessary to dislike something about a great tool? We really don't have any real dislikes about Vinyl. Each upgrade gives us more capabilities than we could have ever dreamed up.

Time, Time and Time. The reason we are using a no code platform is to enable faster development for complicated applications on multiple platforms.
