Create any data-driven enterprise-level web app with data-ready components and responsive and capable support
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use DevExpress to collect and analyze construction data in the infrastructure industry. We cover the whole construction cycle from pre-construction, construction, and post-construction. In a nutshell, we use the data grids and pivotgrids to create cost estimating, project bidding management, and scheduling (integration with dhtmlx Gantt)
Pros

- Handle large and complex hierarchical datasets using its tree table widget (TreeList)

A comprehensive library that offers pretty much everything needed
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using DevExpress Universal to address our needs both in thick clients and web interfaces.
Originally, we developed our own set of components, but while this gave us finer control over what is doable with them, it was too much of a hassle to maintain.
Also, end users are used to a level of functionality that we could not achieve unless we invested heavily.
Hence the reason to use a renowned library like DevExpresss Universal
