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 solution is stable."

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."

"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."

"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."

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

"VINYL has given us the ability to really improve the speed with which we deploy releases and respond to the good ideas that our people have."

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

"VINYL works across different data sources. It is very useful to be able to map the data across different data sources and different environments. It is also very easy to develop small applications within a short span of time."

"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."

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

"It's extremely easy to use in getting into the IDE and then back down to your applications, and getting from your applications to your pages, and navigating through all your tables. That's very simple and pretty intuitive."

"When it comes to the speed of development of the applications with Zudy VINYL it has been the fastest and most powerful that I've been able to do. We've tried building things from scratch. It takes an enormous amount of time. We've cut that time by probably a fifth, with more power. I've been very happy with the speed of doing things in Zudy VINYL."

Cons

"I would like to see better customer support."

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"Right now it's very dependent on having an imagination to understand."

"There are some acknowledged technical limitations. I was looking to do some metadata manipulation, which is very atypical. Zudy said that they will work on building me a workaround. If there is a weakness, that would be it."

"Version 2.3 has a good UI but we want a more customizable UI."

"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."

"I would like them to build out more tools for communication, particularly the ability to do a multinode panel via email."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing and licensing of Zudy are fair."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 and licensing are expensive."

"We haven't really had any issues with pricing. Like with any good partnership, you're paying a fair and good price for a good product. That's where great partnerships are developed, when one side doesn't feel like they won in a deal; when both sides feel like they won. That's where we are with Zudy VINYL."

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