Centralized task tracking has transformed team collaboration and has saved significant time
The features or capabilities of AppSheet that I have found the most valuable include Freeze Panes, which is one of the most valuable features, and Dropdown, which is another valuable feature. Freeze Panes is extremely important because it freezes the first top row of the sheet. When I'm scrolling the sheet and going down, I can see the first row on the screen full time while scrolling to my data. This is a very beautiful feature of Google Sheets. Additionally, the dropdown feature allows me to write yes, no, and not applicable against a particular line item without typing every time by creating a dropdown. I write it once with yes, no, not applicable, and then I select that option. The real-time updates in AppSheet improve collaboration in my team because 40 people in the same department operate on a single Google Sheet. They all update their tasks, their projects, and everything on that same sheet, which is a massive leap in technology. Otherwise, I would be mailing a single Excel sheet to 40 people and getting everybody's input from them all manually, which would be extremely time-consuming. It's a massive technology jump when it comes to collaboration.

It has sped up the app development process, enabling us to release a public version of the app much quicker
Some aspects of VINYL are limiting from a B2C standpoint. For example, it would be nice to have more flexibility with what the VINYL parameters allow us to develop within the app. It is difficult to think of an example off the top of my head, but there have been times when we couldn't develop something a particular way because VINYL didn't support it. However, the team Zudy assigned to us has been great about adjusting and finding ways around these hurdles.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."
"The security of the solution is very good."
"The real-time updates in AppSheet improve collaboration in my team because 40 people in the same department operate on a single Google Sheet, and they all update their tasks, their projects, and everything on that same sheet, which is a massive leap in technology."
"The tool's integration capabilities enhance our existing workflows and as far as the workflows are concerned, I think it is pretty seamless, intuitive, and interactive."
"The solution allows for many great features, including easy column formatting that automatically applies the correct formats for phone numbers and dates, helpful data linking, robust email integration, very good security, and it is a very good no-code development platform."
"We have built a workflow using this solution to do our day-to-day operations and then monitor our agents in the field, and we are able to track their work when they do projects and when they finish their tasks, getting a report on all of this information which has definitely made life easier."
"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors, more flexible and safe."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect to disparate data sources, the workflow engine, and the speed and agility in building apps."
"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."
"Maintenance is very minimal. With our live production applications, they just don't break, which is great. We love that. There's zero-to-little maintenance required."
"Zudy VINYL has delivered all the things that we've dreamt up and asked; it's been a really awesome 18 months so far, and we're excited for the next 18 months and beyond for where we're going to go with our partnership with them."
"The feature that I find most valuable with Zudy VINYL is how flexible it is. There are so many ways that you can connect data to it and there are so many features that are out-of-the-box that make the product very flexible and easy and easy to work with. It's got a great user interface which makes it a nice looking product that our employees are able to engage with quickly."
"VINYL has improved our ability to deploy apps quickly; if you're talking about some of the things that used to take weeks to accomplish, we can now do them in days, and the projects that would take months, now we're looking at weeks."
"We have been able to leverage the platform to rapidly build custom solutions, and tailor-make them to our needs."
"You do not need to be a programmer to use it or build something in it."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"If I need more than that figure, then I'm not sure how scalable AppSheet is."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost. The pricing is too high and the overall solution is far too expensive."
"Stability is the leading risk. We can't ensure that the solution will last since, if Google decides something, it's finished."
"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."
"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."
"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."
"The calendar has room for improvement, but that's what they're going to be working on next, to make a Gantt chart."
"Right now it's very dependent on having an imagination to understand."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Perhaps the UI could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is available at a low price."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."
"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"Pricing and licensing are expensive."
"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."
"We haven't really had any issues with pricing. Like with any good partnership, you're paying a fair and good price for a good product. That's where great partnerships are developed, when one side doesn't feel like they won in a deal; when both sides feel like they won. That's where we are with Zudy VINYL."
"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."
"The pricing is moderate. It's okay."
"Pricing and licensing are on par with or better than what we were looking at and what we had. That was also one of the key factors for making the decision. We cut our costs in half by going over to the Zudy platform."
"Our licensing costs are approximately 100K annually, and from my perspective, that really is quite the value with the flexibility and what we're getting from the product."
"It is affordable."
