My initial implementation of Dotfuscator was an attempt at obfuscation without any changes to the source code. I used the Dotfuscator config editor to create the config files using the default obfuscation configuration and added those to my source. Then by utilizing the private NuGet package on Microsoft's hosted build agents for Azure DevOps, I used the Dotfuscator CLI pipeline task to perform obfuscation on-demand during deployment. It took me only a matter of hours to put things together, and after obfuscating my assemblies using Dotfuscator, 100% of my integration tests passed on the first run. Due to this success, we are pursuing the obfuscation of our mobile code using Xamarin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Be cautious when adopting the latest version, as you may need to check compatibility between the product offerings. I was told that I could just swap in a new released version without requiring any changes to my configuration or pipeline. However, the update to 6.0.1 included breaking changes to the Visual Studio Marketplace CLi pipeline task I was using. I was forced to continue using the old version of the NuGet package (4.43.3) until the pipeline task is updated and released for compatibility with the new version of the private NuGet package.

I consider that the most useful is the way of writing the code that apps can be made, that the code can be protected, it protects all the main families of mobile devices, from Android and iOS to Universal Windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have little to use it and at the moment I have had no problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We were able to protect xamarin-based mobile application easily.
Compared to other products its easier to configure specially for xamarin technology and can be simply integrated into CI build pipelines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We don't have any cons to share till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Love the string encryption and removal features. It is great to know that my apps are protected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be a bit tricky to automate between machines because of different file paths, but this won't be a problem if you have good communication with your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Normally it's difficult to trust promises made by a sales representative. They usually promise great service, great product, great features, and tons of value. To my surprise, it was all true with Dotfucator. I could not be happier with the product and the excellent support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The price is higher than I would like to pay, but I can see the value for high quality product and service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fine tuning of which assemblies to group together as friend assemblies - Easier for our internal testing.
The mac build agent is a HUGE plus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Missing GUI configurator on Mac.
We are running all CI/CD on mac hardware, and also developing our CI/CD pipelines on Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy and user friendly. Does what it promises and integrates well. Obfuscation/encryption are more than just jumbling names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The licensing structure was a bit hard to understand at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Control flow obfuscation is really good, really scramble the code and works out of the box. Command line tool easy to use. Obfuscation attributes easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Really slow to obfuscate, but it's the case for all obfuscator I tried. Cannot include only 1 namespace to obfuscate, only possible to exclude (or didn't find how). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the flexibility the tool offers. I can tailor my usage to suit several very different projects, internal and externally visible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The UI is quite slow, so one needs to become proficient with the XML configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That it comes with default security features. You don't have to know a lot to get your XML configuration files going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is a little hard to figure out in the beginning. It could be more user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
