DevExpress Universal vs. Encore.dev

DevExpress can help you create the big web app of your dreams. DevExpress works great with data-centered enterprise-level applications that require the use of enterprise-grade data grids, pivottables, and integrate them with all the widgets like buttons, popups, forms, etc. I would not recommend DevExpress for small apps that require only basic widgets like radio/select boxes, buttons, text boxes, etc. You can get those widgets for free or even make your own.

• Stick with only .NET development not supported other framework like angular, react vue, etc.
• Control elements were not properly documented on the websites
• Price is higher than expected

Infragistics Ignite was the main contender in our internal review.

However it was not offering as many advanced components as we were a need for, or not as advanced as we would have hoped.

And it was unknown to most of the team while we already knew DevExpress Ultimate from previous proof of concept work.
