    DHTMLX
    Rapid development of web applications: DHTMLX provides a set of pre-built UI widgets that can be easily integrated into web applications, which makes it well suited for developing applications quickly. DHTMLX is well suited for building enterprise-level applications that require complex UI elements and data visualization. DHTMLX is less appropriate for Simple applications: If you are building a simple application that does not require a complex UI, DHTMLX may be overkill, and you may be better off using a lighter-weight framework.

    Works well in: Connecting directly to databases and APIs holding candidate data. Allows teams to easily drill into records from different data sources. Quick to build dashboards. It wouldn't work well without a team to actually get it set up. There is limited design/ branding, making it look very basic. Your team requires training because data can be overwritten easily. Having some knowledge with your whole team is super important, and if you work with contractors or non-tech people, this can be a huge issue.

    • Some Retool apps can become slow to load or refresh.
    • When multiple team members work on the same app, changes can overwrite each other or break functionality.
    • The UI/UX is pretty basic.

    Usability
    DHTMLX
    With regard to the two major components we used, namely the tabular representation and the graphical modeler, we were able to effectively replace the existing building blocks of our applications by integrating them. We were able to retain existing functionalities and benefit from a significant enhancement with what DHTMLX offers natively. This made it easy for us to get our end-users to adopt the change.

    Because even though it is quite intuitive it is not the best tool I have ever seen.

    DHTMLX
    We looked at Kendo UI for ASP.Net Core as it has a Gantt chart but it was not as close a fit to our requirements as the DHTMLX Gantt Resource Management component. We'd have had to do much more work to make this fit.

    We selected Retool because it offers the best balance of usability and power compared to alternatives like Appsmith, ToolJet, and OutSystems. It allows us to build much faster, with broad integrations and strong enterprise features like permissions and environment management. Competing tools were either too limited, required more engineering effort. Overall, retool support has been decent too.
