Community Insights

TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

Based on user reviews, the most common recommendations for Delphi are as follows: Try the free Community version of Delphi and explore online resources. Users suggest utilizing the free Community edition of Delphi, which is sufficient for learning the language and becoming proficient in using the IDE. They recommend taking advantage of the numerous YouTube How to videos available to enhance the learning experience. Consider alternatives to FireDAC. Some users find that the free Community version of Delphi lacks FireDAC, which is its universal data access technology. As an alternative, they recommend trying out UniDAC from Devart, which is considered as powerful as FireDAC itself. Evaluate suitability for project size and community support. There is some uncertainty among users regarding recommending Delphi for new big projects due to concerns about a stagnating community. However, many reviewers highly recommend Delphi for large-scale projects. For personal and small projects, they suggest considering using the free Lazarus project, which works well and is free. Overall, users advise exploring Delphi's capabilities through its free Community version while considering alternatives to FireDAC if needed. They also highlight the importance of evaluating project size and community support when deciding to use Delphi or explore other options like Lazarus.

We use it to develop business software. I have used Delphi since version 1.0 and wrote thousands of lines of code. Our software is used by hundreds of companies. Delphi RAD philosophy helps to create Windows database-oriented software easily and fast. Binaries generated by Delphi run on a variety of versions of Windows, from XP to 11. Also, you can build software for other platforms, such as Android, iPhone, and macOS, but we have only developed for Android.
  • Build GUI Windows applications
  • Connecting to a variety of databases
  • Multi platform
  • IDE, currently is a 32 bits app
  • Price, it's an expensive tool
  • Firemonkey library lacks variety of VCL
Building desktop applications for Windows is the best, despite unknown, solution. But for creating web applications or native apps for mobile, I think there are better solutions. Embarcadero releases are aligned with Windows versions, so for developing Windows desktop apps, with the touch and feel of the operation system is as good as can be Microsoft tools.
  • Source code compatibility with older versions
  • We use it since v1, so we are experts in the language
  • Look and feel with latest Windows versions
  • No runtimes needed, you can build a monolith exe for Windows and all is in it
  • 90% of our software is developed in Delphi
  • Some applications are older than 15 years and still in use
  • When we choose Delphi in the late 90's for our code base, it was a good decision
