Keep Viloud, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Viloud you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $348 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Vimeo among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Viloud’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
