ComponentOne vs. Quixy

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.

Quixy BPM for managing business processes distinguishes itself through its user-friendly interface and the absence of any coding requirements. This makes it an ideal solution for companies looking to streamline their operations. Quixy BPM is suitable for businesses of all sizes and represents a cost-effective way to save time and effort.

• 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.

• Forms Automation: Quixy helps us in developing forms within minutes and hours with simple drag and drop.
• Report Builder: The report builder tool allows you to generate customized reports based on the data collected available in various data sources.
• Integration: Integration with external systems through API's.

• 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.

• Better UI/UX will take the platform to next level.
• Application Library: Having base versions of frequently used applications in the app library helps the users to build applications quickly.
• Having more online help content will help the users to resolve the issues on their own.

Quixy has allowed us to focus on more important tasks, as the platform takes care of labor-intensive administrative work. The automation of various processes has been invaluable, as it has saved us a considerable amount of time and resources. Overall, Quixy has transformed our administrative work and has enabled us to allocate more resources to critical tasks, leading to better outcomes for our organization.

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.

While Excel is a powerful tool for organizing data and creating basic inventory spreadsheets, it lacks the automation and integration capabilities that Quixy provides. Also, we can integrate with other business systems, such as accounting and order fulfillment systems. So, we can actually have centralized system connected across several departments for automation.

• 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.

• Faster Digitalization (time is money)
• Step by Step and independent transition for every department
• Automation of 70% of our manual process till date and counting
