DHTMLX

Versatile product and excellent support

Comments: Overall experience has been very good. Very quick turnaround on support requests when our developers contact. Product is well priced for the features it offers.

Pros:

We used dhtml for developing the Gantt charts in our project management tool www.projecttoolbelt.com. The product was easy to implement and is evolving continuously. So we are able to always have the best features in our cloud HR and ERP apps

Cons:

Better examples for integration can be given. Overall after comparing with other products in the same category this is really good.

Great Product!

Comments: We have implemented a project management web application from our parent company, that's allowed all subsidiaries to use the same app for scheduling. The yearly volume of work flowing through this application is roughly $150m.

Pros:

The granular control of elements and styles is what I like about the dhtmlx gantt chart. While it took me some time to learn how to use it, it works well. We started using this product at the same time as we implemented a new web-applicaiton to replace Oracle's Primavera P6 for scheduling. We've been able to emulate the way it works very welll.

Cons:

Early on, some of the functionality felt clunky (resources/graphing), but as we move forward and new updates are done, it seems to be getting cleaner. I would like it if the gantt could be made responsive. I don't like the export options. (Project/P6/Pdf). Our projects are very large (too large for the stated limits) and I don't know how to implement my own server.

Alternatives Considered: jQuery Gantt Package

Reasons for Choosing DHTMLX: The cost of the oracle licenses for all of our project managment meant we had a single scheduler double-entering for all projects. An online web-application solution allows our project managers to (a) see live schedule updates and (b) make their own updates/changes so that there is no more double entry.

Switched From: Oracle Primavera Cloud

Reasons for Switching to DHTMLX: Customizable, good documentation

DHTMLX provides a wide range of tools

Comments: Overall, I like DHTMLX and would recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful library to create interactive web applications.

Pros:

I like that DHTMLX is very easy to use and provides an array of features that make development quick and straightforward. The library also features a wide array of components for creating robust web applications. With its drag and drop feature, it's easy to move elements around the page and quickly customize the page to fit my needs. Additionally, the real-time updates, interactive charts, and custom widgets make it easier to create a dynamic and engaging user experience.

Cons:

I do not like that the library can be a bit pricey if you need to purchase additional components or if you need to add additional features to your application. Also, there is not a lot of support for older browsers and devices, so you may need to make manual changes for compatibility.

Looks nice out of the box, gives headache when implementing

Comments: As mentioned support is poor, price is too high.

Pros:

Looks really nice. Seems to offer a lot of functionality. But is high in price and lacks support.

Cons:

When implementing this software, you will encouter a lot of functions not or not properly working. With every update, new bugs will occur. Every bug you report to the support team will either not be fixed or after a year. Also every bug you report will cost you credits. So you buy the software plus credits for support and it will cost you to do their debugging.

Rich-featured, mature and performant Gantt Control

Comments: We use the Gantt component to display dependencies between projects, tasks and millstones on the timeline. Use the build in functionality to move, update, delete entities. In a special use case, we display the time-dimension of those entities connected to Finacial impacts with support of the histogram-cell-capacity view.

Pros:

DHTMLX Gantt chart is performant, customizable and has a rich feature set like critical path, milestones, split tasks and especially the histogram-cell-capacity view.

Cons:

The angular integration could be better, also the type support (d.ts) could be better (still a lot of any) but they are working on it.

Reasons for Switching to DHTMLX: - very mature and good functionality (lots of out of the box features, that are needed) - customizability - very performant
