Delphi Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

Modern OO language with an extensive library of classes and components for server, desktop, mobile, cloud, web and IoT products. Cross platform - supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and soon Linux too. NOTE: I currently use Delphi 10.4 (Sydney). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if more employers use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can make applications for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android utilizing one improvement environment. It's so quick to make applications, you can make your application from prepared blocks of code called parts, for instance drawing alters, marks, catches on windows, increasingly complex ones. Modify your application with a single tick and send to new stage, perhaps it will require some stage subordinate code. You have a ton of parts for instance for working with FTP, Databases, and so forth. You can even have segments that can work with 3D models on your windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Here and there parts are limited and extending it's not all that simple task and the configuration could be possibly somewhat more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The versatility of creating applications. Delphi XE8 administrator licenses allow you to create applications in less time with extraordinary application performance. It offers an extensive number of controls that can help you create the most powerful applications, such as applying themes to any application, which is a straightforward task with XE8. I strongly recommend creating small applications in less time. It is easy to create graphical applications if you choose the right control. You can develop cross-platform applications. Very effective WYSIWYG RAD IDE tool for Windows. Modern OO language with explicit variables. Easy to understand and use, it can help you make decent applications in a short time, even for several platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are genuine upgrades twice a year, and each time one needs to uninstall everything related to Delphi and reinstall everything. This includes a day or two of work every six months. Very little and low-quality documentation is provided to the designer. It uses only a single CPU, which makes long-running administrative tasks very tedious. Some module settings are preventing you from starting work. One has to wait for 5-10 minutes. You should sometimes save the application, as you don't know when it might crash.

IDE is pretty clean, the editor nicely indents code, structures data is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The language itself is very out of date and is mainly used for legacy products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The adaptability of making application. Delphi XE8 manager permits to make application in less time with great application execution. It is an excessive number of controls that can help to you make most powerful application like giving topic to any application is such simple assignment with XE8. I strongly suggest making small application in less time. Easy to make graphical application, in the event that you picked right control. You can make cross application development. Very successful Wysiwyg RAD IDE tool for windows. Modern OO language with specific variables. Easy to understand and use can make a good applications in brief time even for some platforms: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of making applications. Delphi XE8 editor allows you to create applications in a very short time with excellent performance. It offers numerous controls that help you build robust applications, such as easily providing themes to any application with XE8. I strongly recommend creating small applications quickly. It's very easy to make graphical applications if you choose the right control. You can develop cross-platform applications. You can create loosely coupled applications using XE8. It might be a bit less intuitive at first, but once you start using it, you'll love it. By using FireMonkey controls, you can build very strong applications. Embarcadero also provides the same editor for C++, and interestingly, you can create applications by combining two programming languages, Delphi and C++. If you are migrating from one language to another, you don't need to wait for the entire application to be converted to the new language; you can run applications written in both languages and gradually migrate them.

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.

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.

Delphi has been extremely helpful for keeping our organization on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We went through a transition of information at one point and it was difficult to merge information from one system to the next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can have multiple properties and venues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can seem very old school as far as aesthetic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
