Integrating the DHTMLX graphic modeler into an existing product

As a software publisher, we develop a suite of tools for cyber risk analysis. An important aspect of this activity is to enable the graphical representation of different models, of varied nature, such as a network map or an attack scenario. In fact, we were looking for a graphic modeling solution that could be customized to meet our different requirements, and that could be integrated into our products. This integration issue was important, as we have tools with different technical stacks, and which can be deployed On Premise or on SaaS. Furthermore, once integrated the graphic modeler had to be able to communicate with the rest of our applications, and adapt representations to suit user preferences. Finally, ergonomics and ease of use were decisive factors, as we already had a solution in place to which our end-users were accustomed. They had to be able to find their way around it, with advanced features such as automatic layout, copy/paste, styling, nesting of elements, etc. Finally, by opting for the DHTMLX solution, we were able to benefit from other components, such as tabular representation, which is an ideal complement to graphics, especially for visualizing large amounts of information efficiently.
