The quality of the WPF controls - which I use - is outstanding. In the past I have had to create custom controls (i.e. a multi-columned TreeView) in order to satisfy the requirements of our customers. Fortunately with DevExpress, this control already existed and it was easy to transform our flat custom data into hierarchical data, which can easily be consumed by the control. I personally am unable to assess the quality of other suites (i.e. WinForms) but we do have another developer who uses that suite and I believe, apart from the odd support ticket, that person is more than happy. What is really helpful is the demo which accompanies the product. This not only provides inspiration for new ideas (which you might not have previously considered) but also with the code so you can browse through it. In addition, you can open the demo projects in Visual Studio as well. The support is outstanding – you either receive a code snippet providing a solution or, if you take the time and provide a sample project, you will most probably receive a modified version of your project back. Not only is the support outstanding, they are also friendly and have never given the impression that you should already know something or that you’re wasting their time. This cannot be stated enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DevExpress? With regards to the MVVM framework: As soon as DevExpress added the POCO view models, I feared that this was the only option they were going to support going forward but it looks like the standard MVVM will always be supported. One downside that we have encountered is that the younger developers have seen the POCO view models and gone with that route which is fine, until they encounter issues and, having not fully understood what’s going on in the background (a lot of code is generated automatically) they sometimes struggle with the problem at hand. That however is not a fault of DevExpress, it has more to do with the fact that we ourselves have not laid our which way we want to use their framework. One thing that I don’t like is the fact that the WPF Dashboard Viewer is not part of the WPF suite, you have to purchase a universal license for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering DevExpress: There are obviously others who offer 3rd party products for the .NET environment and you should of course evaluate those before making a final decision but I cannot state how great the support at DevExpress is. I have never received a “RTFM” comment (or anything similar). The support is not only friendly, they will also offer you a solution for your problem. If you take the time to provide a sample then you will probably receive a solution where the problem has been solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DevExpress solving and how is that benefiting you? We have COBOL business logic and our customers were traditionally happy with two standard grids displaying the data (MasterDetail). Over time however, the requirements have changed (e.g. balance sheet data as well as profit and loss accounting) and we had to find a way to provide a more detailed way of displaying the data. The TreeList control is what we were looking for: The taxonomy we use has numerous reporting areas, each with its root element and a varying number of child elements. We import the taxonomy and inject the customer data into the control so that the customer can see a much detailed representation of their data. The customers love the general look and feel.

The most I like are Desktop components, CodeRush, Reporting and Dashboard. And, of course, their excellent support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DevExpress? New project and object templates. I prefer to start from scratch. Some Visual Studio extensions I need to disable (too many extensions enabled by default). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering DevExpress: After more than 30 years of developing software, I've to say that DevExpress is the best 3rd party software I ever used. They cover all our development needs, instead of using different subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DevExpress solving and how is that benefiting you? Our main project is a huge financial ERP. This project would be impossible to build without DevExpress components. These components allow us to build and test faster than ever.

"Good experiance, with competent support team" 4.5/5 What do you like best about DevExpress? A very extensive and goood product suite with seriusly capable support team to back it up. We recently had an issue where, in our software, the reporting engine failed. DevExpress assisted in all possible ways, even so far as to reviewing our code and finding the issue. The exchange was pleasant, very professional and always on topic. We even found a minor improvement in the DevExpress ReportDesigner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DevExpress? On occasion, and only under certain circumstances, the components can bring overhead. But a multirole component can't be slim. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering DevExpress: Depending on what you need, it's a very capable UI set. Also very useful if you have a huge dataset, beacuse DevExpress is able to use ServerMode in their grid, loading the Data only when required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DevExpress solving and how is that benefiting you? We have our product using the DevExpress WPF Suite, using controls, themes and the reporting engine. Benefits are the simple to use yet powerful components that are provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DevExpress Ultimate provides the tools for the rapid development of applications.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DevExpress? As for a component provider, they cover most of the bases needed. I think the only area that is slightly slower in terms of development is their Xamarin controls which could be a bit broader, but the ones they have are solid.
