DevExpress Universal Reviews & Insights

Ours is an ERP product for small and enterprise users. Our product caters both offline and online solution with offline offering in .Net desktop and online in Angular. Due to massive size of input forms, reports and end user documents, providing a intuitive UI/UX with consistency across screens becomes a key feature.

Our complete frontend is build using DevExpress Universal controls, which we have customized to our needs to create our own library. These controls are being used to generate consistent user experience across all forms and reports. We are using DevExpress Universal document designed for enabling out end customer to generate their invoicing and other document formats.

Specially helpful if you are building solutions which require big number of UI screens and want to achieve a consistency and clean UX.

Most of UI functionality is inbuild so all that developer needs to do is configure various controls and link them to models. In my opinion, sine usage of controls is similar across technology stack, you can offer both desktop, web and mobile specific solutions without much of learning curve.

We are using DevExpress Universal to address our needs both in thick clients and web interfaces.

We use DevExpress to collect and analyze construction data in the infrastructure industry. We cover the whole construction cycle from pre-construction, construction, and post-construction. In a nutshell, we use the data grids and pivotgrids to create cost estimating, project bidding management, and scheduling (integration with dhtmlx Gantt)

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.

We had been using this tool for two years. We used this tool to develop an asp.net application and analytical tools for other departments within the organization. DevExpress [Universal] goes into low light when the client requested to build an application in angular and react.

We use DevExpress here in the IT Department to fill in some of the development gaps we have. We originally purchased it as an addendum to our ERP software that used the reporting package, but now we have used it to build several tools that the business has come to rely upon for business analysis.

Great for analytical tools, can make pretty quick and powerful apps. Not as easy to use to make mobile applications, or applications that tie into existing databases. The latter is possible, but it is not as easy as creating a database from scratch. Also, their quick build tool is a little inflexible. Support is very good and quick to respond to queries.
