"DevExpress XAF enabled us to developed MediManage Pro - A complete hospital management system"

5/5

What do you like best about DevExpress?

DevExpress XAF is a game-changer for software developers, providing an unparalleled experience in application development. The platform's robust features, flexibility, and seamless integration make it a standout choice. The intuitive UI design tools expedite development, ensuring a visually appealing and user-friendly end product.

MediManage Pro, powered by DevExpress XAF, is revolutionizing the landscape of medical management software. Its intuitive interface, seamless integration, and powerful capabilities redefine healthcare operations. DevExpress XAF helps us to achieve the desired destination.

You can check detailed testimonials here:

https://www.devexpress.com/AboutUs/Testimonials/astgd/

In conclusion, DevExpress XAF is a reliable, feature-rich solution that empowers developers to create sophisticated applications efficiently. Highly recommended for businesses seeking a robust development framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevExpress?

DevExpress Ultimate Subscription should be more cheap for yearly renewal and first-time payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ASTGD needed a solution that could provide cutting edge error-free solutions in less time. DevExpress XAF is a low-code application framework that is also ORM based and provides some crucial built-in modules that come in handy while developing this kind of application. Despite all these ASTGD chose XAF for two main reasons:

1. XAF provides automated UI and the model editor provides the capability to easily customize UI.

2. XAF comes with built-in security modules that provide roles and user-based permission and it is easy to implement/modify/customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic support, great product"

5/5

What do you like best about DevExpress?

Above all, how responsive their tech support is, both in how quick they answer and how well the suggested solution works for the given question. Having used other component suites before, DevExpress on a constant basis outperforms them in features and quality of their code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevExpress?

The only gripe I have is that they keep the open curly brace on the same line instead of the next :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The number of examples available for all their components makes them easy to use and if there isn't a viable example for a more fringe scenario, their support is more than willing and able to help with those scenarios as well.

I am using several different of their products, from WinForms, to ASP.Net WebForms to Blazor in our most recent projects. Their component suite has on many occasions made our implementation so much easier compared to using out of the box components for the corresponding technology stacks.

"Dev Express is a great product!"

5/5

What do you like best about DevExpress?

I really like their products, such as DevExtreme, and their support.

Their documentation for their products is excellent. It gives you an insight into how they work and how you should use them. There is plenty of documentation on each, and the UI displaying the documentation is excellent.

Their support is top-notch! They always respond within a day unless they see an issue. Then, they will respond within 2 days with how to proceed. They are very understanding of the questions and do not make you feel bad for asking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevExpress?

Their controls allow you to do a lot of manual work, but some of the functionality should be automatically put into their controls. Then we have to manually add it in and that can be cumbersome at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The support a lot of different controls that we use in our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developer experience after more than 5 years of using DevExpress components"

5/5

What do you like best about DevExpress?

We needed a comprehensive widget set for our BISS/CAIGO application. After an intensive evaluation of several frameworks we decided to go for DevExpress and after several years of developemt we can definitely say that it was the right decision. We are using the Javascript widget set together with jQuery. The widget set and its functionality are very complete, feature rich and offer a very good UX out-of-the-box. The widgets are extremely flexible when it comes to customizing and adapting the functionality to our sometimes very special needs.

There is an extensive, well structured documentation with many useful examples. You have to get a bit used to the approach, how the components work but once you have mastered that, it is very concise and straight forward.

The components are very ease to integrate,

DevExpress offers an excellent support with very fast turnaround times and competent answers. Absolutely worth the money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevExpress?

If there is something that we think could be a problem in certain scenarios, then it is the fact that the widgets have a pretty large "DOM footprint" (i.e. consist of many nested - mostly div - elements). Thus creating a large number of widgets on a page may slow down the browser a bit. BISS/CAIGO offers a window mode, similar to the OS desktop approach and creating many windows with a large amount of controls in each of them sometimes may lead to sluggisch browser reactions. But that's the only complaint we have so far and we are using DevExpress controls now for more that 5 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With DevExpress we have a comprehensive and stable widget set that solves almost all of our needs. And if something is missing, we have the possibility to customize the controls via specific functions. This greatly accelerates the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DevExpress addresses our reporting requirements for our engineering application"

5/5

What do you like best about DevExpress?

We have a need to create nicely formatted reports for our engineering application. Most reporting toolkits are heavily biased towards database connections as their source of data. While DevExpress also has a bias in that direction (presumably because that is the majority of their customer base) it easily allows integration with business objects as the source of data, making it very useful in our application. As a developer, two of the nicest aspects of the tool is (a) ultimately you can always bypass the automated ways of creating a report and write code that dynamically creates/interacts with the report and (b) the technical support is excellent. This includes both their knowledge base of past questions as well as direct contact with the support team. I've yet to ask a question that they couldn't answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevExpress?

The only negative aspect I have encountered with DevExpress is that the libraries are a bit "heavy" in the sense that when we create a report in our application, the JIT compiling takes a fair bit of time for the first report. Subsequent reports in the same session are virtually instantaneous. There are ways to embed pre-compiled versions of their libraries in the code, but so far I have not found that to be especially convenient. But overall this is a relatively minor negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mostly by meeting our reporting requirements for our desktop engineering application but also to a lesser extent the custom UI controls needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great controls and even better support"

5/5

What do you like best about DevExpress?

Controls are easy to use and with many functionalities.

You can mangle everything with just few experience and they are consistent among diffrente types of controls, so you'll find similar approaches even on new controls.

What I like most is the support. DevExpress support is top notch. Always ready to help reviewing your code and suggesting code snippets or workaround. Is like having a human coder by your side with total knowledge of the controls (and the language/framework you use) ready to help spot bug or explain how to do things even out of the ordinary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DevExpress?

Nothing to dislike after more than 10 years with their stuff in my web apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mistakes in code I do and general knowledge of their controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
