DHTMLX Reviews

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

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

Thank you very much for your review! It's a great pleasure to know that Gantt met your expectations! Kind regards,

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.

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.

Chris, thanks a lot for your review! Your feedback inspires our team and motivates us to keep on our work!

What I like is wide range that it offers. They are highly customizable and easy to implement in my web applications. Also, the documentation and support provided by it is excellent, which makes the development process much easier for me.

Sometimes I find it a bit overwhelming to understand and master all the features and functionality of the components. Although the documentation is solid, it could benefit from more examples and tutorials to help users get more familiar with the platform.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

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

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.

I am surprised to hear that your bugs were not fixed or fixed in a year and that you had to pay credits for bug fixing. At DHTMLX there is no credit system for fixing bugs and getting support. All support plans include a predefined number of support requests, which depends on the license type. We would like to investigate this issue and make sure that there was no misunderstanding between the DHTMLX team and you and hope for your collaboration.

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.

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.

Thank you very much for your review! We have improved the type support and updated the file with d.ts. The new version is available both in the trial and licensed packages.

Feature Rich - Gantt Charts and Scheduler functionalities, Excellent Technical Support, Easy to understand Documentation, Lots of Demos & Examples available

No major Cons. But, would like a theme selector if it's available.

Thank you for your feedback and valuable ideas!

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.

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.

Thank you, we appreciate your feedback!

The product is nice, fresh, contemporary. The support always responds within a few hours. It is usable and will save a lot fo time when developing online tools for project management.

The customizability in terms of CSS is cumbersome. I mean you can easily customize any CSS output by overriding it - that's not the problem. However, I like clean code so I would rather build the CSS by compiling it from scss or less with my own user styles and variables overrides so I don't have to override them when compiled. Just a suggestion.

Thank you for your honest feedback!

Intuitive to use, many features, many documentation and examples, good customer support and a broad community.

We have found limits, especially for speed (often referred to in forums), for which we had to intervene at our expense

Thank you very much for your detailed review!

Many components that allow to quickly develop complex use cases involving planning, resources management and other business related tasks. All the elements have a complete set of functionalities out of the box and are easily customizable. Documentation is clear and the support team provides fast and resolutive answers. The API model and the backend connectors available for many languages allow a seamless with existing services with little effort.

We have faced some minor issues integrating the components in a complex, legacy architecture, but the support team has provided the info needed to solve the problems in a short time.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and value you as our customer.

Robust and complete set of JavaScript Controls. Good documentation and examples.

The controls are too Buggy. The controls fail to implement basic functionality. Major API changes requiring significant rewrites between major versions.

Thank you for rating highly the functionality and ease of use of the DHTMLX Suite library! I regret to hear that your expectations were not met. When we receive bug requests from our clients, we put them on the list to be fixed. Unfortunately, we can't fix bugs immediately. When a bug or a feature request comes up, we prioritize them and plan to include them in future updates. We also provide a 30-day money-back guarantee if our libraries do not meet clients' requirements.

DHTMLX offers a very nice graphical user interface that we integrate in our application. We offer a specialized scheduling and resource management with the goal of organizing hospital processes. Therefore, we do not only rely on standard calendar functions but need to provide non-standard functionality. Because of this, the possibility to develop custom dialogues and use customizable fields that can be integrated into the graphical user-interface of DHTMLX is the most important capability for us.

We would really appreciate a better handling of updates for DHTMLX. We do not receive any automatic update notifications and there is a lack of details in regard of change logs.

Steven, thank you for your valuable feedback! We will work on notification updates!

The API's offer plenty of functions and ways to achieve what needs to be implemented, including graphical customization and events management. DHTMLX Scheduler comes with plenty of helpful examples and it's easy to bring a minimal application up and running in just a few minutes. Customer service is top notch, we always got an answer within 24 hours and they always fixed our issue by giving a relevant hint, example or piece of code, or providing a code fix.

I feel access control could be better and also the timeline view is a little difficult to be used in our use case, but apart from that it's really cool.

Thank you a lot for your valuable feedback! We are glad that DHTMLX Scheduler meets your requirements and we'll do our best to keep improving it.

Version 6 has a clean modern look and is designed for modern browsers

DHX is still working through the maturation process of the new virtual DOM architecture. The controls all work but they are still adding back events and fixing subtle things like selection highlights whena control loses focus.

David, thank you for your review! It's a pleasure to hear that you've been using DHTMLX quite for a long time. Our team is striving for enhancing Suite and all our products. Your feedback makes a great contribution to our work!

Good performance, easy to implement, good configurability, much better than our previous provider

Lack of Angular support, unsuficiant Typescript definition, feature requests and bug fixes without ETA

Thank you for your feedback!

- This solution is complete and really powerful. - Dhtmlx offers a lot of new functionnalities regulary - Well documented - Good support team

Some evolution expected on skining capabilities Maybe a bootstrap integration (skinning)

I am fairly new at developing user interactive websites so I was a little intimidated in building a robust yet easy-to-use corporate succession management system. I first heard about DHX in a user group forum and when I went to their website I found — literally — the answer to every component I needed. They have thought through their products extremely well. Their support is second to none with detailed examples and snippets that made a huge difference in how fast I was able to deploy and get up and running.

As a new developer, my learning curve was very steep and I found some of the support documents a little bit advanced for my level. With that said, their support made all the difference with very fast turnaround and great information.

Dear Neil, thank you for your feedback! Our team is very pleased to hear that DHTMLX has met your needs. We hope to come in useful for you in the future too!

Documentation & support of DHTMLX are very good. We experienced the imprementation of this solution and it was quite easy / fast to set up (good structure of libraries, documentation easy to understand). We are now daily using the solution since it is one of our main official company tools. So, easy to implement and maintain. Regular updates (fixes, improvements, etc.). Highly recommended.

No drawbacks so far. Improvements : it should be nice to have natively public national holidays in the planning module.

Thank you very much for your feedback and ideas, Adrien! They are highly appreciated!

Dhtmlx keeps their modules updated and current. The classes are clean and modern as are their themes. Using the classes is consistent between class files and methods. Their forums are generally very helpful.

Some of the smaller modules haven't gotten the same attention as the flagship modules, but still good.

The product is largely error-free and runs in different browsers .

DHTMLX is basically very easy to understand and structured.

Hermann, thank you for your review! We're constantly working on the improvement of our JavaScript UI library and its documentation. Your feedback is very helpful for us!

The software is easy to use and was very easy to implement into our software. I like that with the documentation there are comments and questions from other users. That is helpful when I'm trying to implement a new feature. The design of the gantt chart is very clean and is also very easy to customize.

Searching for features in the documentation is sometimes difficult. It takes me a while to find what I am looking for.

Thank you for your feedback! Currently, we are working on enhancing the search functionality in the documentation and we do hope to provide a more convenient solution soon.

We have used DHTMLX javascript libraries in our product for last 10 years. They are feature rich and easy to integrate

Will be good to have more code samples for Angular

Thank you very much for your feedback! It's a pleasure to have such a long-term client as you are. Speaking about Angular examples, just recently we have prepared them for our Suite UI components: https://dhtmlx.github.io/angular-suite-demo/ I hope they will be useful to you!

The resource scheduler has been an integral part of our core product and has helped accelerate our development cycle.

We need continuous scrolling left and right.

Chris, thank you for the feedback! We're glad that DHTMLX Scheduler answers your needs and we'll work on its further enhancement. Kind regards,

Consistent API Rich features. Facility for both server side and client side template generation

Insufficient Schema Documentation. I feel the JSON responses can have a clear Open API schema definition so that we can create Open ApI spec compliant YAML files

Thank you very much for your feedback! We'll take note of it!

Great out of the box functionality. Great value for money.

Gantt is a complicated problem to solve and when trying to do something outside the norm can be quite difficult.

Thank you, Tyler!
