We performed a comparison between Appian and Jitterbit Vinyl 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."Appian's most valuable feature is that we can create end-to-end process workflows with minimum turnaround."
"SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer), a scripting language provided by Appian. It is the equivalent of JS and CSS. It allows creation of complex UIs which are also responsive. With SAIL, we have a single language for both the UI logic and its appearance. UI components can be built as reusable components and used in multiple UI interfaces."
"Another advantage of this tool is its reports and records. You can maintain dashboards, layouts. If you with a Java solution, it takes six months time. If you use this tool, you can finish in one or one and a half months' time."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"There is a version coming out every six months with performance improvements."
"The product has a very good mobile app."
"Appian is a very low code platform. It's very easy to learn and use."
"What I found most valuable in Appian is that it lets you drill down on multiple things through the structure of the reporting and UI side. It's also low-code, yet it results in quick deliverables."
"You do not need to be a programmer to use it or build something in it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Vinyl has been a game changer in how we can now quickly deploy key features and new products."
"You can unite data which lives in different sources without moving that data."
"We have clients that want to use Office 365, Microsoft Analytics, and Power Apps. Appian just isn't the same as using something specifically designed to cater to the Microsoft Suite."
"We'd like improved functionality for testing new devices."
"Appian could improve their customer-facing initiatives."
"Appian is easy to set up, but JBoss is complex. JBoss is the application server for running Appian."
"Lacks business rules management as part of the solution."
"Lacks integration with other products."
"There is no UI customization possible."
"If we could calculate the amount of data that will be realized, it would help us a lot."
"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."
"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 would like them to build out more tools for communication, particularly the ability to do a multinode panel via email."
"If it could be prettier, it might be a bit more attractive on the business side. The most meaningful improvement might be done in some of the aesthetics of the reporting and dashboarding."
"The documentation isn't everything it could be, and the user forum is not always the most helpful."
"Perhaps the UI could be improved."
"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."
"Right now it's very dependent on having an imagination to understand."
