    DevExpress
    When you want to display spreadsheet based reports, it's really convenient as it has everything out of the box.
    If you have very basic components like combo boxes or lists, there is hardly a point in using such a large component set.
    In the end, it's a matter of finding a good balance between functionality and complexity.

    Supernova.io
    Supernova is the best documentation platform on the market, having tested numerous alternatives, including the more popular zeroheight, Knapsack, etc. It's ideal for low-code solutions for brand guidelines and detailed component documentation. Their automated exporter pipelines are the icing on the cake, enabling them to pull what you see in Figma and push it directly into your codebase.

    It is occasionally buggy, but nowhere near as buggy as zeroheight.

    DevExpress
    DevExpress Universal controls are much simpler to use, implement and customized as compared to Kendo. Learning curve for telerik is high, though level of customization that can be achieved with telerik exceeds that of DevExpress Universal. Found DevExpress Universal community support to be better then its competitors. License cost is also a wining bar here.

    Supernova has best-in-class customer service. Our Figma library is a huge file and was unable to automatically sync with most platforms (including Supernova) - of all three platforms we tried, Supernova was the only one that actively assigned engineers to our case and offered a solution within a couple of days. They've been great partners.

    Return on Investment
    DevExpress
    • It is good for asp.net application and it takes less time in development which we used two years back.
    • We have stopped with these tools when clients were asking applications to be built in angular or react. We have switched to Kendo.
