While I use their awesome tools for C# wpf development, and they save me hours and hours of time, the really outstanding aspect of DevExpress is the support they provide. Responses to questions are always very thorough and typically include a code snippet they wrote to illustrate the solution. In many cases they provide a zipped project to illustrate the solution. Occasionally I have even received a video illustrating how to proceed! Who else does that?
My favorite tool is the DataGrid/GridControl but another time saver is the Report Designer (especially when doing labels.) The theme manager works well with fewer idiosyncracies than Microsoft themed controls. Upgrades from one version to the next is pretty painless so you can keep up to date.
After 10 years with this product I would not consider development without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a boatload of .dlls but that has more to do with Microsoft's architectural vision than DevExpress itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
