    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.

    Previously, our team used Jenkins. However, since it's a shared deployment resource we don't have admin access. We tried GoCD as it's open source and we really like. We set up our deployment pipeline to run whenever codes are merged to master, run the unit test and revert back if it doesn't pass. Once it's deployed to the staging environment, we can simply do 1-click to deploy the appropriate version to production. We use this to deploy to an on-prem server and also AWS. Some deployment pipelines use custom Powershell script for.Net application, some others use Bash script to execute the docker push and cloud formation template to build elastic beanstalk.

    Pros
    MESCIUS
    • 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.

    • Pipeline-as-Code works really well. All our pipelines are defined in yml files, which are checked into SCM.
    • The ability to link multiple pipelines together is really cool. Later pipelines can declare a dependency to pick up the build artifacts of earlier ones.
    • Agents definition is really great. We can define multiple different kinds of environments to best suit our diverse build systems.

    Cons
    MESCIUS
    • 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.

    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.

    GoCD is easier to setup, but harder to customize at runtime. There's no way to trigger a pipeline with custom parameters.
    Jenkins is more flexible at runtime. You can define multiple user-provided parameters so when user needs to trigger a build, there's a form for him/her to input the parameters.

    Return on Investment
    MESCIUS
    • 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.

    • ROI has been good since it's open source
    • Settings.xml need to be backed up periodically. It contains all the settings for your pipelines! We accidentally deleted before and we have to restore and re-create several missing pipelines
    • More straight forward use of API and allows filtering e.g., pull all pipelines triggered after this date
