ComponentOne has proven to be a valuable tool for businesses and developers who require efficient and customizable .NET controls for their applications. Users have found that while it may initially require some time and trial and error to get it working, especially with older versions, the high-quality library and powerful UI features of ComponentOne make it well worth the investment.
One of the key use cases of ComponentOne is its ability to display multiple rows in a single record, which is particularly useful for generating reports. Users appreciate the software's fast grid binding and AJAX support, which eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel and save time in development. Additionally, the lightweight nature of C1 Grid sets it apart from other grids in terms of performance, and its variety of options for displaying data offer flexibility to meet various business needs.
The benefits of implementing ComponentOne's .NET controls extend beyond improved efficiency. Users have experienced increased productivity in their businesses by leveraging the software's custom report solutions. Moreover, consulting companies that develop custom .NET applications for clients in various industries favor ComponentOne due to its wide range of Windows forms components. Overall, ComponentOne proves to be a valuable asset for businesses seeking to enhance their application development process and deliver powerful user interfaces.
Powerful and visually appealing UI controls: Multiple users have praised the suite for its powerful and visually appealing UI controls, such as the Datagrid and FlexChart. These controls have been described as highly effective in enhancing the user experience and creating visually attractive applications.
Customizable filters in Flexgrid: Several reviewers have appreciated the suite's customizable filters in the Flexgrid. They have found these filters to be powerful tools that allow them to efficiently manipulate and analyze data according to their specific requirements.
Numerous sample projects available for download: Many users have liked that there are numerous sample projects available for download with this suite. This feature has provided them with a valuable resource, allowing them to experiment with different examples and gain a better understanding of how to utilize the controls effectively in their own applications.
In analyzing the negative sentiment in user reviews, three common cons emerge:
- Limitations of the license: Some users have expressed frustration with the limitations imposed by the software's licensing model, which restricts access to new features and updates without purchasing a new license.
- Lack of customization options: The software being closed-source has been cited as a drawback by users who desire more flexibility to customize it according to their specific needs, often leading them to rely on support for assistance.
- Dissatisfaction with customer support: Several users have mentioned that they found the customer support provided by the company to be unhelpful or lacking in responsiveness. This includes long response times and an inability to address bugs promptly. These cons indicate areas where improvements could be made in terms of licensing, customization options, and customer support satisfaction.

ComponentOne does the job!
We use ComponentOne Studio in some of our custom .NET applications we've developed for our clients. We primarily use the report designer and the grid control that provides features that don't come standard with Visual Studio. These apps are mostly Windows Forms apps. We are a consulting company, so our apps are developed for clients that are in all sorts of industries.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
