## Ag Grid Reviews
  ### 1. Ag grid review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Ag Grid?**

In my current product we are using ag grid for showing data to the users. Currently we are using ag grid  32.2 version which is the latest. Currently I am updated our current ag grid version to 32.2 version . It is very good in displaying real time data to the users. We are also using the ag grid graphs and diagrams for showing real time data

**What do you dislike about Ag Grid?**

Upgrading to new version can cause some serious problems for the existing ag grid. Currently we are facing the same situation in our product.

**What problems is Ag Grid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have solved some problems related to showing large amount of data as an excel data in my project. But I have used ag grid instead that, it helped the client not to download or preview the data that they can easily check if there are any errors in the data before they are able to download it.
Understanding data is easy for the client as well as it has different features based on our requirements we are using those features. 
It is solving complex task of conveying the good amount of information to the client and they can able to perform different actions from actions menu and perform sorting and use infinite scroll to render the ag grid based on server side this is helpful in viewing large amount of data which will be helpful in data processing.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2024

**What do you like best about Ag Grid?**

Ag Grid has extensive feature set, including sorting, filtering, grouping, and customizable cell rendering.

**What do you dislike about Ag Grid?**

Setting up Ag Grid with all its features can be intricate, especially for beginners.

**What problems is Ag Grid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For applications using extensive datasets. It allows extensive customization, enabling developers to tailor the grid to specific needs, including custom cell rendering and complex data operations.

  ### 6. Very powerful UI library requiring only few lines of code to setup.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nitin M. | SDE, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Ag Grid?**

It is highly customizable and very robust with a plethora of features.

**What do you dislike about Ag Grid?**

There are very few prebuilt UI themes, more will be better.

**Recommendations to others considering Ag Grid:**

If you need to show a large amount of data in UI. Just give Ag Grid a shot, it wouldn't take much time to do a POC.

**What problems is Ag Grid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed to show a lot of relational data with sorting, filtering, searching etc in our administration dashboard and Ag Grid was a perfect fit for us. It saved us a lot of development time.

  ### 7. Extremely Flexible and feature rich data grid component

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris B. | VP of engineering, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2021

**What do you like best about Ag Grid?**

I like how simple the AG grid makes it for front-end developers who want to create a rich data grid for users to work with information. In our product, grids are used heavily, and using AG Grid has allowed us to implement complex features relatively quickly. It's also had great support for emerging technologies such as Vue v3 that we use. 

It would have taken months of a dedicated team to get the same functionality within our app as we got in a day or so.

**What do you dislike about Ag Grid?**

There isn't much I don't like. Some of the server-side processing stuff is a bit confusing, and it's unclear how that would work in a Kubernetes environment where many of our services are stateless. Our use case I just described is an edge case we have to consider but probably not a use case everyone is needing so it's understandable that the documentation doesn't cover this in-depth, just the same.

**What problems is Ag Grid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're solving a use case to display data in a grid that customers use to understand active alerts and incidents in their environment.

  ### 8. Best grid library

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vishnu V. | Staff Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2021

**What do you like best about Ag Grid?**

Almost all the features it has column selection, column reorder, row expansion, pagination, virtual scroll, export options and a wide range of framework support like angular, react etc, I used both angular and react versions. Very easy to use the library, we can display a grid in minutes.

**What do you dislike about Ag Grid?**

Nothing to say, but documentation can be improved

**What problems is Ag Grid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As all great features are out of the box, we can develop the final product or POC very fast

  ### 9. Very powerful, yet overly complex, no shortcuts - dig through all the documentation  

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Itai R. | Angular Architect, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2019

**What do you like best about Ag Grid?**

UI of agGrid looks good, can customize everything, and once you fully get it easy to use. Its easy to get a fully functional grid with basic sorting, filtering and it supports Angular, React and JavaScript.
I also like the ability to quickly group by a column, and adding totals when aggregating.

**What do you dislike about Ag Grid?**

Since it supports ts Angular, React and JavaScript it would be better that the documentation would be separate for each, you sometimes have to dig through all the documentation to find what you are looking for, only to find that their example is in native java script, or in react, and not in Angular (which is what I needed) 
Also, they still have open issues. Especially with css opening a drop down that is inside a customize cell editor 

**Recommendations to others considering Ag Grid:**

Learn all the documentation BEFORE deciding to use it, and try and keep it simple stupid - don't over customize and make your project to involve with agGrid 

**What problems is Ag Grid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Users/PM want to see data within a grid, and want to be able to sort, filter, group and see totals, they might also want to drag and drop rows to change their orders, having to write all this in plain java script over and over again is cumbersome, AgGrid helps with that - the benefits are that it comes out of box, but again it's not easy to implement and documentation  is sometimes lacking. 

  ### 10. AG-GRID is extremely well written

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2019

**What do you like best about Ag Grid?**

Lots of features right not of the box. Very fast rendering, sorting, filtering, grouping even with 100k rows +. Their customer support is also really good

**What do you dislike about Ag Grid?**

Nothing really. The is a really good product

**What problems is Ag Grid solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rendering a lot of data in the UI so end users don't feel the needs to export data into excel and conduct business offline
