Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a software publisher, we develop a suite of tools for cyber risk analysis. An important aspect of this activity is to enable the graphical representation of different models, of varied nature, such as a network map or an attack scenario. In fact, we were looking for a graphic modeling solution that could be customized to meet our different requirements, and that could be integrated into our products. This integration issue was important, as we have tools with different technical stacks, and which can be deployed On Premise or on SaaS. Furthermore, once integrated the graphic modeler had to be able to communicate with the rest of our applications, and adapt representations to suit user preferences. Finally, ergonomics and ease of use were decisive factors, as we already had a solution in place to which our end-users were accustomed. They had to be able to find their way around it, with advanced features such as automatic layout, copy/paste, styling, nesting of elements, etc. Finally, by opting for the DHTMLX solution, we were able to benefit from other components, such as tabular representation, which is an ideal complement to graphics, especially for visualizing large amounts of information efficiently.

Pros

Graphical editor
Table representation
Ergonomic
Easy to take in hands

Cons

Advanced customization of editors
Advanced charts representation
Auto layout with specific arrangements

Return on Investment

Harmonization of representations in our tool suite
UI modernization and improved end-user perception
Improved graphics editor performance and response time

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're developing a custom resource management application in ASP.Net Core 8, Entity Framework 8 and SQL Server hosted on Azure. A critical requirement is a Gantt chart to display projects, tasks and assignments that can be resourced while also displaying below the Gantt chart a grid showing resource load so that over/under loading becomes obvious. The DHTMLX Gantt allows us to do exactly that as it's specifically designed in this way with the ability to capture events from the Gantt and handle them as required server side then display back to the user in the grid. The interaction is handled by Javascript/JQuery back to the server which responds with JSON. Although Vue, Angular and React are also supported if a customer prefers. There are many additional features which can be included like sorting, grouping and the documentation and examples are extensive.

Pros

Gantt: Moving tasks or entire projects
Gantt: A linked grid to display resource load
Gantt: Full control allowing you to decide how to implement
Pricing was reasonable and we can upgrade to Enterprise by paying the difference if required.

Cons

There's always room to provide more samples to help

Return on Investment

Critical requirement for the project, without it we couldn't proceed
