What do you like best about ComponentOne?

There are some really powerful and pretty UI controls, such as the Datagrid (FlexGrid), FlexChart, and additionally some other inputs.

The filters for the Flexgrid is pretty powerful and customizable. There is a lot of sample project you can download to play around with their examples, and their support is also top tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ComponentOne?

The license, or purchase, limits you to a certain version of the product at the time, I believe. So if you purchased a license for this year, you may not be entitled to massive version upgrades that they make in the upcoming years. You would have to purchase the newer licenses.

If you wish to stay with your old license, that makes it hard if you refer to the documentation online, it may not be fully compatible (there may be changes it is referring to that you do not have).

Additionally, this is not Open Sourced, so you have to black box the software. Especially with working with an older version of the license, your options may be limited to reaching out to support at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ComponentOne solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the biggest problem working with ComponentOne is having to blackbox the software, as it could potentially take up more of your time, "hacking" your way to get it working. Compared to an open-source technology, where you will be able to dive into the source code to potentially figure out why something isn't working, ComponentOne, especially with older versions of the software, require playing around, mindlessly sometimes.

The biggest benefit with ComponentOne is that it is a high-quality library with minimal bugs, additionally, there are many powerful UI bells and whistles that come with it that make it more or less worth working with proprietary commercial software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ComponentOne solving and how is that benefiting you?

.NET reflection with powerful ui components. I have been writing a program that separates the code form the user interface and storing it under an XML format in an SQL database. The code is injected and so is the user interface. I have been searching for long time a platform that helps offer the power of a robust framework in addition to keep the beauty of a well designed interface. ComponentOne has provided me the power of data management with WPF based generic module with the best positive user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
