Versatile product and excellent support
Overall experience has been very good. Very quick turnaround on support requests when our developers contact. Product is well priced for the features it offers.
PROSWe used dhtml for developing the Gantt charts in our project management tool www.projecttoolbelt.com. The product was easy to implement and is evolving continuously. So we are able to always have the best features in our cloud HR and ERP apps
CONSBetter examples for integration can be given. Overall after comparing with other products in the same category this is really good.
Reason for choosing DHTMLX
Features and pricing. Excellent support team for helping with integration

Great Product!
We have implemented a project management web application from our parent company, that's allowed all subsidiaries to use the same app for scheduling. The yearly volume of work flowing through this application is roughly $150m.
PROSThe granular control of elements and styles is what I like about the dhtmlx gantt chart. While it took me some time to learn how to use it, it works well. We started using this product at the same time as we implemented a new web-applicaiton to replace Oracle's Primavera P6 for scheduling. We've been able to emulate the way it works very welll.
CONSEarly on, some of the functionality felt clunky (resources/graphing), but as we move forward and new updates are done, it seems to be getting cleaner. I would like it if the gantt could be made responsive. I don't like the export options. (Project/P6/Pdf). Our projects are very large (too large for the stated limits) and I don't know how to implement my own server.
Reason for choosing DHTMLX
Customizable, good documentation
Reasons for switching to DHTMLX
The cost of the oracle licenses for all of our project managment meant we had a single scheduler double-entering for all projects. An online web-application solution allows our project managers to (a) see live schedule updates and (b) make their own updates/changes so that there is no more double entry.

Chris, thanks a lot for your review! Your feedback inspires our team and motivates us to keep on our work!

Looks nice out of the box, gives headache when implementing
As mentioned support is poor, price is too high.
PROSLooks really nice. Seems to offer a lot of functionality. But is high in price and lacks support.
CONSWhen implementing this software, you will encouter a lot of functions not or not properly working. With every update, new bugs will occur. Every bug you report to the support team will either not be fixed or after a year. Also every bug you report will cost you credits. So you buy the software plus credits for support and it will cost you to do their debugging.
Vendor Response
I am surprised to hear that your bugs were not fixed or fixed in a year and that you had to pay credits for bug fixing. At DHTMLX there is no credit system for fixing bugs and getting support. All support plans include a predefined number of support requests, which depends on the license type. We would like to investigate this issue and make sure that there was no misunderstanding between the DHTMLX team and you and hope for your collaboration.

DHTMLX provides a wide range of tools
Overall, I like DHTMLX and would recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful library to create interactive web applications.
PROSI like that DHTMLX is very easy to use and provides an array of features that make development quick and straightforward. The library also features a wide array of components for creating robust web applications. With its drag and drop feature, it's easy to move elements around the page and quickly customize the page to fit my needs. Additionally, the real-time updates, interactive charts, and custom widgets make it easier to create a dynamic and engaging user experience.
CONSI do not like that the library can be a bit pricey if you need to purchase additional components or if you need to add additional features to your application. Also, there is not a lot of support for older browsers and devices, so you may need to make manual changes for compatibility.
Vendor Response
Thank you, we appreciate your feedback!

Rich-featured, mature and performant Gantt Control
We use the Gantt component to display dependencies between projects, tasks and millstones on the timeline. Use the build in functionality to move, update, delete entities. In a special use case, we display the time-dimension of those entities connected to Finacial impacts with support of the histogram-cell-capacity view.
PROSDHTMLX Gantt chart is performant, customizable and has a rich feature set like critical path, milestones, split tasks and especially the histogram-cell-capacity view.
CONSThe angular integration could be better, also the type support (d.ts) could be better (still a lot of any) but they are working on it.
Reason for choosing DHTMLX
- very mature and good functionality (lots of out of the box features, that are needed) - customizability - very performant

Thank you very much for your review!

Got everything that we were looking for our Angular Project
We researched around 6 different Angular libraries for our project's need of Gantt & Scheduler. Only DHTMLX has all the features that we needed. Their support has been excellent to help with our questions promptly.
PROSFeature Rich - Gantt Charts and Scheduler functionalities, Excellent Technical Support, Easy to understand Documentation, Lots of Demos & Examples available
CONSNo major Cons. But, would like a theme selector if it's available.
Reason for choosing DHTMLX
We were missing some of the customization in the library and their support couldn't provide a solution. DHTMLX documentation and customization is sufficing all our needs.

Thank you for your feedback and valuable ideas!

Dhtmlx will help you with javascript libraries
It definitely helps us solve the javascript part of things and we don't have to develop everything from scratch.
PROSThe product is nice, fresh, contemporary. The support always responds within a few hours. It is usable and will save a lot fo time when developing online tools for project management.
CONSThe customizability in terms of CSS is cumbersome. I mean you can easily customize any CSS output by overriding it - that's not the problem. However, I like clean code so I would rather build the CSS by compiling it from scss or less with my own user styles and variables overrides so I don't have to override them when compiled. Just a suggestion.
Reason for choosing DHTMLX
In some cases yes, in other cases other products won due to price.

Thank you for your honest feedback!

A complete solution for scheduling
The API's offer plenty of functions and ways to achieve what needs to be implemented, including graphical customization and events management. DHTMLX Scheduler comes with plenty of helpful examples and it's easy to bring a minimal application up and running in just a few minutes. Customer service is top notch, we always got an answer within 24 hours and they always fixed our issue by giving a relevant hint, example or piece of code, or providing a code fix.
CONSI feel access control could be better and also the timeline view is a little difficult to be used in our use case, but apart from that it's really cool.
Vendor Response
Thank you a lot for your valuable feedback! We are glad that DHTMLX Scheduler meets your requirements and we'll do our best to keep improving it.

Buy vs Build
Using the DHTMLX Gantt chart allowed us to get the UX we wanted while highly customizing it to match our unique fields and the structure of our data.
PROSUnlike many projects out there this one continues to get updates. I've seen many products go stale and this one has not. Whenever you need support they are accessible and helpful. We are a development shop and tend to build a lot of what we need, but when we needed a Gantt chart that we could highly customize and DHTMLX fit perfectly.
CONSI don't really have any complaints. It fits our needs. Whenever you use someone else's code their is a learning curve.

Not a Good Development Partner
In spite if the impressive list of corporate users, the company is very difficult to communicate with, sophomoric and unprofessional.
PROSRobust and complete set of JavaScript Controls. Good documentation and examples.
CONSThe controls are too Buggy. The controls fail to implement basic functionality. Major API changes requiring significant rewrites between major versions.

Thank you for rating highly the functionality and ease of use of the DHTMLX Suite library! I regret to hear that your expectations were not met. When we receive bug requests from our clients, we put them on the list to be fixed. Unfortunately, we can't fix bugs immediately. When a bug or a feature request comes up, we prioritize them and plan to include them in future updates. We also provide a 30-day money-back guarantee if our libraries do not meet clients' requirements.

Full-featured calendar plugin to meet our needs
DHTMLX offers a very nice graphical user interface that we integrate in our application. We offer a specialized scheduling and resource management with the goal of organizing hospital processes. Therefore, we do not only rely on standard calendar functions but need to provide non-standard functionality. Because of this, the possibility to develop custom dialogues and use customizable fields that can be integrated into the graphical user-interface of DHTMLX is the most important capability for us.
CONSWe would really appreciate a better handling of updates for DHTMLX. We do not receive any automatic update notifications and there is a lack of details in regard of change logs.
