C1 is great for creating custom reports. We have client apps where we've created some fairly complicated reports such as invoices and real estate inspections. We also use the True DBGrid in many of our apps since it is so customizable. Its grouping and filtering features are very nice and can provide summary counts and totals at the bottom or right side of the grid that are very handy.Incentivized
It's well suited for dynamic data, especially when multiple users are using the application and generating data, it helps us to get analytics of the data for users.Incentivized
The True DBGrid control is nice for showing parent/child relationships and being able to drill down and show the child data. It also is nice for showing summary totals.The report engine is great for building custom reports for Win Forms or web apps. It can do everything that Crystal Reports can do.They have a good selection of controls that can do just about anything you can imagine.Incentivized
It provides multiple ways of visualizing data easily.It is fast and light on system resources. It is built with JavaScript and visualizations can be easily hosted on the web across browsers.It has a huge community backing it so it is easy to find people to help with whatever you're doing.Incentivized
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out where things are in the properties of controls since there are so many things you can drill down into.I find myself using Bing or Google a lot to look up how to do something. Some things are not very intuitive.Of course, I would always like the price to be cheaper. The high price has caused us to not keep current and have the latest version.Incentivized
Hard to code, not a kids play toy.No tutorial from official documentation.Requires web development experience.Incentivized
Support can be improved by providing more educational videos.Incentivized
We have been in business since 1992, so we have used many different products over the years. The two other products we've primary used that are similar to ComponentOne, are Infragistics and Crystal Reports. Infragistics has a vast array of controls similar to ComponentOne. We use both to be honest and I'm not sure which one I would pick over the other. I guess that would depend on what you're trying to accomplish and if one had some control or capability that the other didn't. ComponentOne does have the reporting capabilities, where Infragistics does not.Incentivized
Protoviz does not require as much knowledge of programming to build visualizations as with D3.js or Google Charts. Highcharts or AnyChart are other alternatives that are more specific to building charts only Incentivized
ComponentOne allows us to add additional features to our apps that wouldn't be found in apps written with just Visual Studio itself. That allows our clients to get more creative in their requirements, which in turn, means more work and billable hours for us!Our apps appear more professional when using ComponentOne which helps us get projects for new clients.ComponentOne also helps us to save clients some money since we are not having to develop things that it can do from scratch.Incentivized
Rapid Development using templates helps faster delivery of the project.Documentation requires a lot of time to study.D3 creates high-quality visual effects which can be used over large screens.Incentivized
