Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 4, 2025

Jitterbit Vinyl and AppSheet are leaders in the no-code development platform category, competing to streamline app development and data integration. Jitterbit Vinyl has the upper hand due to its robust data mapping capabilities and favorable pricing, offering flexibility and improved ROI, particularly appealing to businesses looking to integrate multiple data sources efficiently.

Features: Jitterbit Vinyl stands out with its no-code platform that connects disparate data sources without moving data, significantly reducing app development time, which is particularly beneficial for agricultural businesses. Its capacity to map data across various sources and environments is transformative. AppSheet, on the other hand, is recognized for its intuitive design and smooth integration with cloud platforms, providing easy access on mobile devices. It's intuitive design makes it user-friendly, allowing even non-developers to create apps effortlessly.

Room for Improvement: Jitterbit Vinyl requires enhancements in its report aesthetics and more advanced customizable options in reporting tools. Users seek improvements in the user interface and performance to increase satisfaction. AppSheet needs to expand its language support, enhance integration capabilities beyond Google accounts, and provide a clearer feature set to appeal to a wider audience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Jitterbit Vinyl supports flexible deployments, including public and private cloud options, with strong on-site technical support praised by users. Its responsive and competent technical support aids effective problem-solving.

Pricing and ROI: Jitterbit Vinyl's attractive pricing model allows unlimited use without user constraints, delivering significant ROI through enhanced efficiency and reduced development costs. AppSheet is considered cost-effective within the Google ecosystem, although it may become expensive for non-Google users due to its pricing structure, including higher costs for single sign-on. Jitterbit Vinyl provides clear ROI benefits through process improvements and flexibility, while AppSheet mainly offers value to Google Workspace users.

Helpful for reporting and to do risk assessments

Within our group, I think five to six people will probably use the tool. The tool is mostly not used on an everyday basis. It is not used daily but weekly. I think the tool offers usability, and I think we can scale it. As far as our utilization is concerned, I think it is very scalable. It is very flexible. You can utilize the tool for various reasons. You can use the tool to look at your vulnerability scans and upload information. You can do risk assessments. You can do physical site assessments. I think scalability deserves five stars for sure. The scalability seems to be very easy to use and scalable and flexible.

Can connect to any data source so we don't need to replicate data into a data warehouse to do reporting analytics

Having been a customer of theirs for a long time, I think the UI needed improvements early on. But, they have done a remarkable job catching up in that regard. They have always been great at connecting to a variety of data sources. They are a leader in that space. They do a great job, from a business analyst perspective, helping you shape what the ultimate system is going to look like. There really aren't a lot of areas that need improvement. The areas that they have, they are keenly aware of and have made great strides in recent releases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The security of the solution is very good."

"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."

"The solution is pretty simple to implement."

"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."

"The tool's integration capabilities enhance our existing workflows and as far as the workflows are concerned, I think it is pretty seamless, intuitive, and interactive."

"The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets."

"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."

"The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use."

"The integration is a huge accelerator into enabling new business processes. As a small company, we have a few different systems that otherwise couldn't talk to each other. We recognize, from an IT perspective, the value that data and change in status of certain data in one area could influence the ability to take action in another. With these integration points, we are able to essentially create that communication from one system to another, letting system B know that something has been completed or is ready in system A. That allows our users to know that they are ready to complete a task. Without that, we would be relying on a lot of manual communication. We would be relying on individuals sending emails, saying, "Hey, by the way, this is ready in system A." Now, we have the system recognizing it and shooting that email off automatically, with all the instructions necessary."

"There are a lot of low-code development tools out there, but VINYL has the ability to connect to just about any data source out there, if an API exists for it and can be leveraged. We have even partnered with them at times to work with third-party vendors to develop APIs on our own, if there wasn't an API that exists for it."

"There are two most valuable features: one is the ability to pull data from a bunch of different places and put them together. And the second is the speed at which you can get a new app developed. So instead of waiting months for this new app to come out, if you have an internal team putting it together, you can roll it out in weeks. I've even seen days. It's incredible how fast you can make changes."

"Vinyl has been a game changer in how we can now quickly deploy key features and new products."

"App development, database storage, and 3rd party app integrations are great."

"You can unite data which lives in different sources without moving that data."

"VINYL has really helped us speed up application development at a reasonable cost."

"You do not need to be a programmer to use it or build something in it."

Cons

"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."

"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."

"In terms of areas for improvement in AppSheet, I do many things with it, and I'm happy with its data features. The solution has good data features, and though some basic functions may not be there, AppSheet is good enough for me at the moment. I can use it in my business. I like it, and I'm still happy with it because I'm not using it intensively. I just use AppSheet for simple tasks rather than complex ones, though the solution has many use cases. In its next release, what could make the solution better would be more partners for integration, for example, integration with SAP, particularly plugins or APIs with more partners that it could integrate with. There should be an out-of-the-box feature built for integration with more partners."

"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."

"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."

"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."

"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."

"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."

"I would love to have the home screen a little more customizable because, as we're building more and more reports, it would be nice to have more options in how they're organized on the screen."

"Eventually, a nicer way to create certain features, like the way that we create PDFs, would help. Sometimes the way that it resizes when I have multiple windows up, could also be better. It's minor stuff though. It's edge-case stuff."

"The interface has had a lot of changes to it. It is better than it was before. However, with the subqueries in particular, this has been the most difficult part of the interface."

"The ease of use for individuals to self-serve could be improved. The solution is no-code, but there is still a decent learning curve associated with the product and some app design principles necessary before people can self-serve."

"When you are trying to delete certain columns or delete or drop tables, it will throw an error and it will force you to hunt down every location where those things are being referenced. You have to delete them from the very end and work your way backward... It would be easier, when you're deleting that table, if it would concatenate all the way down."

"There are a lot of almost "hidden" features captured in these Edge Case settings... If you want a scroll bar at the bottom, instead of having it select rows to show, you have to select Disable Panel Location Service, which doesn't sound at all like what it's supposed to do. Naming conventions could be changed a little bit."

"I'd like to see the next release of VINYL have more user interface solutions to it, so that it could be a more user-friendly product on the front end for the customers that are utilizing the tool. We didn't have a solution to help automate all of our reporting in the past which identified the need to make sure that we could tap into our data sources and automate all of our reporting, which is exactly why we needed the tool."

"It might help if they put out different types that would provide different ways to view the data. I'd like to see more on that."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."

"The tool is available at a low price."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."

"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."

"I feel the product’s pricing is a good value. The licensing model is very straightforward. You license the platform and you can build however many solutions you want with it."

"Compared to if I used traditional methods, such as hiring developers and setting up systems, VINYL is costing me less than half of what it would normally cost."

"The licensing costs we pay are, I believe about 5,000 a month. That's every quarter. We've been doing it for about a year now, and the prices have remained steady. We feel it's a reasonable cost for what we're getting because it's unlimited users. So as big as you want to make it, you're not constrained by a per-user licensing cost or any of those other restrictions, so that's going to stifle your development."

"Pricing is less than the cost of a consultant and the value you receive is much greater."

"It is affordable."

"The pricing is moderate. It's okay."

"Our licensing costs are approximately 100K annually, and from my perspective, that really is quite the value with the flexibility and what we're getting from the product."

"The value for us for VINYL is that we've got one fee that we're paying per year and we can deploy and build as many apps and bring in as many users as we need."
