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.

Daniyal Farrakh - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use."
"The security of the solution is very good."
"We find it is easy to learn and use, and the user interface is easy to pick up. We have trained some of our own people to be able to do apps with VINYL. Therefore, we can turn things around quickly."
"With the Lite Integration, I didn't to have to disrupt my entire organization to do something. We haven't had to disrupt IT and the business organizations to keep them up and running."
"You can unite data which lives in different sources without moving that data."
"It is very scalable from its licensing to design. We have not had any performance issues when scaling."
"It allows us higher visibility into our data, which allows us to data-check faster, and validate data that we had not been able to validate, prior."
"It is a platform which can grow with us and get us out of spreadsheets."
"The product has reduced the time that it takes us to produce apps."
"The ease of moving around the platform cannot be understated."

Cons

"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."
"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."
"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."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."
"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."
"Some aspects of VINYL are limiting from a B2C standpoint. For example, it would be nice to have more flexibility with what the VINYL parameters allow us to develop within the app. It is difficult to think of an example off the top of my head, but there have been times when we couldn't develop something a particular way because VINYL didn't support it. However, the team Zudy assigned to us has been great about adjusting and finding ways around these hurdles."
"Upload time of documents that needed to be uploaded was a request that we were having an issue with. That issue got resolved in [near] real time, within probably 30 minutes."
"I sometimes find formatting tricky to get the front end of an app the way I want it."
"When designing the user interface, there are many built-in features; however, Vinyl could use some more extensive design elements that are used in marketing, such as Canva or Web design tools. These would allow for more extensive design elements to be added more easily."
"One of the troubles we have sometimes is the amount of data we're processing within the applications. That can really add a lot of "laggy-ness." That's an ongoing struggle we're going to have while we use it. It doesn't happen for all our applications, only some of them that are heavy on the reporting."
"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."
"Right now it's very dependent on having an imagination to understand."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"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."
"The tool is available at a low price."
"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."
"Pricing and licensing are on par with or better than what we were looking at and what we had. That was also one of the key factors for making the decision. We cut our costs in half by going over to the Zudy platform."
"Pricing is less than the cost of a consultant and the value you receive is much greater."
"We also pay for the managed services help that we get from them. But, to me, it is a very effective cost model. Licenses are relatively inexpensive, then you pay by the drink in terms of the managed services that you are going to need, which has been great. We figure out where we want to apply those services and try to be pretty diligent about managing the costs there."
"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 key thing here is that the pricing is just one price. We can do as much or as little with the product as we want to which is very attractive. I don't have to worry about if I build a new app, I have to pay more. Or, if I put 20 more people logging into the app, I don't have to pay any extra for that either."
"Pricing was actually one of the things that drew us to the product initially... the way it was licensed at the time, I got a flat monthly fee from Zudy for the Vinyl product, which allowed me to basically have unlimited use of it... We have an annual license, we pay monthly. It's very competitive and very worthwhile given the return we get out of it."
"The pricing and the licensing of Zudy are reasonable. Pricing is always a tricky thing. It could be a little simpler, but they're doing well. I'm happy with it."
"You always look for the underlying cost, there's always underlying costs but the value is fine. I don't think it should cost any more. You pay for the software but you're also paying for their employees, when they work onsite for you."
