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 customizable to whatever you see might use it for... It's very user-friendly, and the front-end is exactly what we need to see, very simple. It can get more complicated too, if those are the needs."
"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."
"You do not need to be a programmer to use it or build something in it."
"VINYL has really helped us speed up application development at a reasonable cost."
"It's made things seamless and it's more efficient, and there's an audit trail where it wasn't there before."
"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."
"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."
"We have been able to leverage the platform to rapidly build custom solutions, and tailor-make them to our needs."
"I have found the technical support to be helpful."
"The speed of the solution is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the user interface."
"It allows us to provide all the information in one single place."
"Overall the solution is reliable."
"It's a very workable solution because it's an automated way of making applications. You have a template, you have the application know-how,"
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"I like how fast I can develop an application and put it in production with PowerApps. I think the integration is also excellent. The platforms is growing, so they are constantly adding more connectors on all these things."
"The documentation isn't everything it could be, and the user forum is not always the most helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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'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."
"I would like them to build out more tools for communication, particularly the ability to do a multinode panel via email."
"During the initial rollout, the text editor wasn't 100% what we were looking for, but we were able to get the job done. After some discussions and finding ways to use different plugins during the short term, Zudy actually came back a few months later and said that they have integrated a standard product into their text editing that checked all the boxes for us."
"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."
"Its user interface can be better. It is good, but it can be a bit clunky."
"The area where this product can be improved is the documentation. When we get stuck it's with the documentation when we are not able to find the codes we need."
"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 flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"In terms of workflow automation, I believe that capabilities for creating the entire business process are required, or, at the very least, the option to model the business process, define complex business events, handle them, and route them to appropriate business stakeholders."
"The portal and canvas apps need to be improved and brought up to speed."
