"Delphi XE8"

3/5

What do you like best about Delphi?

The flexibility of making application. Delphi XE8 editor allows to make application in very less time with very good application performance. It is too many controls that can help to you create most robust application like providing theme to any application is such easy task with XE8. I strongly recommend making small application in very less time. Very easy to make graphical application, if you chose right control. You can make cross application development. Your can make very Less coupled applicaiton by using XE8. It is little bit less user intuitive but once you will start using it you will start loving. by using fire monkey control you can make very strong application. Embercardero also provides same editor for c++, and mote interest things that I have also heard is that you can make application by combining two programming language delphi as well as c++. if you are migrating one language to another language, you do not need to wait for whole application complicate into newer language, you can run application that is written in both application and gradually migrate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Delphi?

Very less and low user friendly documentation is being provided to developer. It uses only single CPU that make long running editor task much time consuming. Some plugin settings are stopping you to start work. One have to wait for 5-10 minutes. You must periodically save application, you don’t know when it gets crashed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Delphi:

Yes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

backward compatibility, application design, core function control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very efficient tool, need a new marketing policy."

3/5

What do you like best about Delphi?

Very effective Wysiwyg RAD IDE tool for windows. Modern OO language with strongly typed variables. Very easy to understand and use can create a good applications in short time even for many platforms : Windows, macOS, iOS, Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Delphi?

Very changing and non coherent commercial policy :

1/ Prices are rising and rising and rising:

XE2 pro update price in 2011 : 500 euros with mobile dev. library.

XE10 pro update price in 2017 : 1730 euros without mobile dev. library.

2/ With "pro" licenc you don't have Client server database connectivity.

3/ Even with the new 'starte' free edition prices are not OK for beginners so 'No new blood '. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Delphi:

Just try the free starter edition so considere to by the pro & C/S option for the development because it is a complete IDE and easy to use for targeting Windows, mobile dev Option for other plateforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Delphi solving and how is that benefiting you?

Create software products sold to clients. Mainly with Delphi XE2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
