I bought a DHTMLX Grid Pro license about a year ago. So far I have always been able to find a solution for the improvements I wanted to make to the Coldfusion application that I am still developing using the extensive functionality of the DHTMLX library and Coldfusion connector.

I don't have any major complaints. There were a few things I had to tweak in order to get to work the way I wanted (e.g. calendar field and drop down selection field types). I am new to Javascript so there is a bit of a learning curve for me when it comes to altering the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flexibility, rich features, continuous evolution of the product to match ours and other clients' requests, and the great support from the DHTMLX team.
Main features that I like are:
- Can handle a huge volume of data
- Can implement multiple Gantts on one page
- Resource allocation capabilities
- Dependency mapping
- Strong export functionality, including tiled PDF exports
Our Gantt chart is a big selling point for our wider suite of products and DHTMLX have made sure that this is a part of the application which mostly looks after itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would have written about a couple of missing features but these have now been addressed in recent upgrades, so really not much to dislike.
I guess if we were using it out of the box I would like there to be more styling variants available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's flexible, it has many options and the most important thing for us is that all of those options are subject to custom code. Most of our projects require custom tailored solutions so this was our priority when choosing the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Too complicated at the beginning. May we approach it the wrong way but on other side is a product with a lot of features so it's understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flexibility of the product and the constant stream on features and updates. The DHTMLX support team are also very reliable to solve any configuration or setup issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We already heavily customize the tool to our needs but the export's can be a little lacking on customization and could be made more configurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We really needed a way to show scheduled events and create new events on a calendar. We also needed the drag-and-drop rescheduling. the DHTMLX Scheduling calendar fit those needs nicely. Everything that came out of the box worked for us and we were easily able to add some new features to our product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far, no downsides to using the Scheduler from DHTMLX! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use the Scheduler product and I see DHTMLX as an accelerator of our business to reduce the time to market to launch new features. With it, I can focus my team on the specific points and business rules. DHTMLX Scheduler meets all my needs. In addition, the components are beautiful, fast and reliable.

There is nothing that I dislike on the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the scheduler module since it have quite a lot of customization options and there aren't any other software like that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
mmm the documentation could be done better, it should be better explained some use cases. like put the code with the demos cases on the website it could be easier for software developer to understand it and try different use cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Diagram Tool makes the Hierarchy presentation easy for the user to understand. Adding or removing branches to the Hierarchy is very easy and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It have many function, the APIs are very complete ad permits to integrate it easyly in third party software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a strange thing with tasks that some times are draw with one hour late Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The design is clean and intuitive. When we have a question, support of the forum is there to help. Each update is an opportunity for us to provide new features to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Installing the software isn't something you can do yourself. Most people considering it already know this (unless you are a developer of course). But there are a lot of documentation and samples to help you make a lot of progress without any help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a product with a good price as a permanent license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The disadvantage that the range that can be customized is narrow. And the guidance contents for using is not enough to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It gives a well structured and flexible APIs to embed and develop the gantt views for complex portfolio planning use cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing we dislike, as with every software - you always wish for more features (like client side export to pdf) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DHTMLX support is very helpful and responsive to bug fixes and feature requests. The scheduler is feature rich and most requirements have been met out of the box. The documentation is very well written and the live test environment makes it easy to prototype new features. We've used dhtmlxScheduler for more than 5 years and plan to continue using it in our web application product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes we find that the time between feature updates is a little long and sometimes it seems that some of the other products that dhtmlx offer receive more development attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It's stable
- It's easy to setup, even if you don't have to much development experience.
- It's highly customizable
- It's full of features out of the box (and if something missing, you can write your own addon to cover missing functionality)
- It's beautiful out of the box, which is not always the case for similar components
- Workload functionality is included, which is not the case for such components Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- It costs money )) But, honestly it's better to pay for the stable component, then to struggle from buggy outsource
- Functionality like "export" is not highly customizable, so we had to write our own addon to feet our needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After reviewing many options for a Gantt component, we selected the one from DHTMLX. It is beautifully designed (appearance/UI) which was a key consideration for us, but really it's the full scope of features and capabilities that make it stand out. It has the flexibility for us to make it work exactly the way we need, and it has been a very simple process to integrate it and get it up and running. Some other components we evaluated were far more challenging to try to get working within our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have no negatives to point out - we really are completely satisfied with this component and how well it meets our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The time saving when building a calendar from scratch and the ease to modify events, along with the large number of extensions that can be used. In addition, it is very customizable, since it has several themes to choose from depending on your needs. In our concrete case, we have opted for Material Design. Last, but not least, there is a great coherence between all the extensions and the main module in such a way that just by indicating that you want to use an extension, the main module offers you its new options. The tool also has a forum with great activity of both users and moderators answering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you need a full functionality or extension that the Scheduler does not provide by default, you have to do reverse engineering to understand and develop it by yourself. Although it has a good documentation and a lot of examples that help you in that task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
