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."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."
"The product has reduced the time that it takes us to produce apps."
"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."
"We have been able to leverage the platform to rapidly build custom solutions, and tailor-make them to our needs."
"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 very scalable from its licensing to design. We have not had any performance issues when scaling."
"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."
"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 solution is very straightforward. Its context is obvious and everything is easy to understand."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"The most valuable feature is automized processes."
"The model that allows you to establish flow automation is getting a lot of traction from the customer side. It offers a lot of flexibility."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Model-driven or Canvas application-making platforms. The power of the two gives us exactly what we are looking for."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Microsoft PowerApps allows you to simplify business processes and user experience. You can also create responsive applications and canvas apps through this solution. It's an easy to scale, stable, and low-code solution."
"For our purposes, it is quite scalable."
"Once or twice, when a new version of VINYL comes out, it has had a negative impact on a feature. However, we do everything in a test environment. Unless we miss something in test, we don't go live with it if it isn't perfect. Zudy hasn't had too many stumbles along the way, but there have been a couple times, and it's been minor."
"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."
"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."
"While some of the reporting functionality is adequate, reporting needs to continue to be worked on, given the fact that there are a lot of really good reporting tools out there."
"The features that I'd like to see in VINYL next would be the ability to have more control over, or have a rule-based control over column headings and column labels."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft PowerApps can be more costly for small teams or organizations."
"This tool doesn't have an internal database. It only relies on the data layer of Microsoft Cloud."
"It has to improve the threshold limit where it can handle data beyond 5000 items."
"When it comes to PowerApps, debugging can be difficult at times. It would be beneficial to simplify it."
"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"The solution should have more integration with other platforms."
"It's sometimes hard to import groups of options. At this point, I need to enter those manually and it slows the process down."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."
