Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/28/2020 "Love/Hate relationship with Delphi" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Delphi? It's provided such a great upgrade path from Turbo Pascal to Turbo Vision to Turba Pascal for Windows to Delphi 16 bit to Delphi 32bit to Delphi 64 bit. There was quite a bit of code reuse throughout. In particular, going to 16 to 64 bit, and from Ansi to Unicode were incredibly easy, so it's enabled an old code base to get continual new leases of life. I've been using it for many years, and it's the most productive language and development environment I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Delphi? The price. As a part time programmer, much of my work for non-profits, it's just too expensive to stay on the Delphi train. It may be different for a full time programmer, but the economics don't work for me. So I still use Delphi all the time, but I don't upgrade it any more, I'm stuck on XE3. And I probably wouldn't use it to start any new major project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Delphi: It seems to be a stagnating community, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it for new big projects. But if you can stomach the price, it's great (and great fun) to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Delphi solving and how is that benefiting you? It gets me up and running quickly. I can start with a prototype/proof of concept UI, and carry straight on in the same tool to flesh out the applicati. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its too much flexible. The components creation and its usability is great. We can create application faster than any other tool. Its integration with database, BDE, is very much powerful. The tool is much useful for cross platform applications as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Delphi? The user community is less, so very poor documentation. The IDE crashes a lot. Code indentation is poorly visible, we need to use third party tools for it. No runtime code change support while debugging an application. So very poor in that case when compared to visual studio for windows applications. You are very limited with free edition of Delphi and license price is high. Very less open source components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Delphi solving and how is that benefiting you? You can develop, test and deploy software very fast. Also you don't need to fully re-write your app for new platform, just write some platform dependent code, build for new platform and you are good to go. We can create our own custom components and can be used in another applications as well. An easy environment to develop apps with back end databases like SQL Server and Oracle, and Cloud Databases like mySQL in a heterogeneous environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In each version, it integrates with new features that appear in the market, such as mobile device-oriented programming. The user interface remains without major changes, which makes adaptation to the new versions quick. In this version upgrade, it maintains compatibility with old projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Delphi? The environment sometimes becomes burdensome and consumes a lot of the machine's resources. The tools for group work are not the most advanced in the workplace, as well as the version control system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Delphi: Highly recommended for large-scale projects, for individual and small projects there is the Lazarus project which is free and works quite well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Delphi solving and how is that benefiting you? Programming of the town hall's own tools. The internal case management software connects with a user interface created in Delphi, connected through services to Natural machines and Adabas database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Head of Conversion Rate Optimization at Internet Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/6/2018 "Solution for fast and simple app development " 4/5 What do you like best about Delphi? - You can develop crossplatform apps very fast. Deploy app to Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android in one click - Components, Your app is created from components, so you have a lot of ready to go code - You have built in solution to work with HTTP requests, API, authorizations via OAuth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Delphi? - Crossplatform works only for simple apps. If you wanna create something complex, you should add platform dependend code - Price. You are very limited with free edition of Delphi and license price is high - You don't have native IDE on Mac OS X, you should install additional app to build this in XCode Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Delphi: It's a great solution to create simple platform independent apps if you are good with component approach. If you wanna create compex cross-platform app you should write platform dependent code and only after this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Delphi solving and how is that benefiting you? It's very fast approach for creating apps if you need to solve simple tasks. For example one component can fully automize work with FTP server (downloading and uploading files, etc). It's a great tool if you know how to apply this. We wrote simple app to translate CSV file using Yandex API during one week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gerente de Consultoria ABAP Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/3/2017 "Great codding and easy to use" 4/5 What do you like best about Delphi?
