We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I would like to say that its best feature is its different kinds of connectors. We have lots of in-built connectors.""Apart from providing a mature, reliable, consistent platform, Adobe also offers outstanding customer service and product support.""This tool was very easy learn, yet powerful enough to manage many sites on a single instance.""My client has been able to improve productivity with the use of the tool. The solution has them develop several tools that addressed their specific needs. They have become more efficient and safe with the use of the product.""The ability to write SQL queries was very helpful as we did not need to bother our DBAs in writing stored procedures for simple tasks.""I find it to be the easiest server-side technology for website development. It easily integrates with virtually everything– from web APIs to NoSQL databases to RSS and XML services.""No need to import libraries from outside the environment.""We save enormous amounts of time in development using this tool."

"Vinyl has been a game changer in how we can now quickly deploy key features and new products.""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.""One of the most valuable features of the solution is how rapid we can implement it, going from a design to an operational concept in a very short period of time.""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.""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.""The ZPM system enables us to organize projects and monitor their progress. The ease of logging into the VINYL app to test new features makes testing smoother, and we feel more involved in the creation of the app and its functions at every step of the way.""We have been able to leverage the platform to rapidly build custom solutions, and tailor-make them to our needs."

Cons
"Need to be able to Be able to inject Python, Java, Groovy, or PHP code into a CFML page.""There is not much third party authenticators in this solution""Previously when I was trying to create some data, it was very difficult to get real-time data from Workfront.""The solution needs to improve its adaption capability with a third-party company. I want to see more communities or open knowledge resources with the tool.""Installation of the server software was formidable due the number of configurable options.""ColdFusion’s third-party authentication is currently limited to just a couple of companies, like Google and Facebook, and a few third-party SAML authenticators. From my personal perspective, adding LinkedIn and Microsoft would greatly benefit me."

"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.""Upload time of documents that needed to be uploaded was a request that we were having an issue with. That issue got resolved in [near] real time, within probably 30 minutes.""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.""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 ease of use for individuals to self-serve could be improved. The solution is no-code, but there is still a decent learning curve associated with the product and some app design principles necessary before people can self-serve.""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.""Perhaps the UI could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is a very effective solution and worth the price."
  • "If you really want to save money, there is a free open source CFML engine (former Railo, now Lucee) out there."
  • "The tool's pricing is high but it's totally worth the investment."
  • More Adobe ColdFusion Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is affordable."
  • "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."
  • "Pricing is less than the cost of a consultant and the value you receive is much greater."
  • "Pricing was actually one of the things that drew us to the product initially... the way it was licensed at the time, I got a flat monthly fee from Zudy for the Vinyl product, which allowed me to basically have unlimited use of it... We have an annual license, we pay monthly. It's very competitive and very worthwhile given the return we get out of it."
  • "The key thing here is that the pricing is just one price. We can do as much or as little with the product as we want to which is very attractive. I don't have to worry about if I build a new app, I have to pay more. Or, if I put 20 more people logging into the app, I don't have to pay any extra for that either."
  • "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."
  • "We have seen a 30 percent decrease in time for some of our workflows."
  • "Pricing and licensing are expensive."
