Webix UI is useful to build rich and complex applications

Pros

  • Customizable widgets and controls help you to present different types of data nicely and work with it.
  • Most of the popular data formats are supported. Large component library and rich UI.

Cons

  • I’ve hardly had any.

Return on Investment

  • We are planning to apply Webix UI to future projects.

Alternatives Considered

Kendo UI

Other Software Used

Kendo UI, React

Webix UI in a React based Web Portal

Pros

  • The Kanban Control allowed to implement a compelling task management system with little effort.
  • The Chart Control made it easy to create our dashboard and it was a lot easier than using D3js as we did before. D3 allows a lot more flexibility but it takes often 10 times longer to get a chart done than using Webix.
  • Support at Webix is very helpful and responsive.

Cons

  • Since we are using react as foundation it was difficult to use some features in our environment. In the beginning we tried to have a drag and drop customizable Webix UI combined with React and failed miserably doing so. Current Version has a much better React integration.

Return on Investment

  • It saved us 1000s of USD for just using the Kanban Board instead of developing it from scratch.
