We performed a comparison between Jitterbit Vinyl and Microsoft Power Apps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's like breaking apart coding and development into an ultra-configuration tool... It really is flexible."
"You do not need to be a programmer to use it or build something in it."
"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."
"The Lite Integration is really the key thing. You're able to attach the Vinyl software to a variety of different systems very easily and pull data together in a way that is really difficult to do using traditional technology... Also, the fact that it's a no-code platform also makes it easier for people to understand and deal with internally, to continue to build applications and modify existing applications."
"It is a platform which can grow with us and get us out of spreadsheets."
"The ease of moving around the platform cannot be understated."
"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."
"The fact that it's no-code is one of the most important features because it allows us to deliver very quickly. We can get the value to the business delivered much more quickly than with other solutions."
"It's very easy to build an app using this solution."
"You can easily connect Power Apps with other databases, like Excel, SharePoint, SQL, etc."
"I would say that it's a very advanced product because it empowers people to do simple things, which previously may have required people to have some technical skills."
"Overall, the tool is very democratic. It's easy for anyone to use. You don't have to be a professional or well-versed in technology."
"Of all of the solutions I evaluated, it was the easiest to use and deploy."
"As a business person, I design a lot of screens. The solution really resonates with me. Their design is amazing."
"Power Automate has been the most valuable feature."
"We get feedback on a real-time basis, which is actually very useful for us."
"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."
"I don't have a lot of negative things to say about the platform. One of the things we joke about, because it is very minor in detail, is that as with any platform, when you're hosting a live webinar on a GoToMeeting or a Zoom, everything slows down a little bit. So when you're doing a live demo internally with folks, the platform can go a step slower. That's not necessarily just a Zudy thing."
"I sometimes find formatting tricky to get the front end of an app the way I want it."
"Some new features I think I'd like to see is visibility into running jobs so that we can see what the status is, or it's not stuck in its process and doing its thing, or how much longer it's going to take. I'd also like to see a native calendaring function so we can put calendars into our apps with maybe even recurring tasks or appointments and that sort of thing. We'd also like to see multi-select lists. The users being able to pick multiple things to filter on and get a list and be able to export that list."
"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."
"Version 2.3 has a good UI but we want a more customizable UI."
"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."
"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."
"The set up of the solution could be simpler."
"It would be beneficial to have a feature that allows users to split the opportunity into separate logs for each product."
"They probably need to improve intelligent document processing."
"In some cases, PowerApps would have some limitations in terms of the data, the number of transactions, and so on, but for a normal solution, it would be enough."
"Microsoft PowerApps is not intended for customizing what's generated in a major way."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"We would like to see the period for viewing executions within this solution to be extended beyond its current limit of 28 days. We would prefer to be able to offer our customers an infinite amount of history to search."
"Microsoft PowerApps can be more costly for small teams or organizations."
