Chose App Builder
When comparing App Builder against PowerApps, the feature set isn't even close. PowerApps is slow and only works in the corporate enterprise whereas App Builder allows for deployments in a full-scale environment. The only thing similar, is that both PowerApps and App Builder …

ID with Ignite controls was a complete end-to-end solution that included design to development. The code generation of working Angular components was the key decision factor.
DevExpress Universal
Chose DevExpress Universal
DevExpress Universal controls are much simpler to use, implement and customized as compared to Kendo. Learning curve for telerik is high, though level of customization that can be achieved with telerik exceeds that of DevExpress Universal.

Chose DevExpress Universal
Infragistics Ignite was the main contender in our internal review.
However it was not offering as many advanced components as we were a need for, or not as advanced as we would have hoped.
Chose DevExpress Universal
I selected DevExpress over MUI because it offers enterprise-grade data grids and because their UI components offer a comprehensive set of properties and events we can subscribe to.
Chose DevExpress Universal
DevExpress really is an expansion of DevExpress. I haven't tried too many other add-on tools to Visual Studio, but DevExpress is a valuable addition for us. We really like the dashboards and cards we can easily build within them, as well as the more powerful tools. As I stated …

User Testimonials
App Builder by InfragisticsDevExpress Universal
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Well suited for new and greenfield projects.
  • Great for projects using Material Design concepts
  • Great when you have dedicated design team with the right tools to work with ID
  • Not so good, if your design system or tool does not support ID

DevExpress can help you create the big web app of your dreams. DevExpress works great with data-centered enterprise-level applications that require the use of enterprise-grade data grids, pivottables, and integrate them with all the widgets like buttons, popups, forms, etc. I would not recommend DevExpress for small apps that require only basic widgets like radio/select boxes, buttons, text boxes, etc. You can get those widgets for free or even make your own.

Infragistics Ignite was the main contender in our internal review.
However it was not offering as many advanced components as we were a need for, or not as advanced as we would have hoped.
And it was unknown to most of the team while we already knew DevExpress Ultimate from previous proof of concept work.
