Integrating the DHTMLX graphic modeler into an existing product

Rating: 9 out of 10

January 21, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Graphical editor
Table representation
Ergonomic
Easy to take in hands

Cons

Advanced customization of editors
Advanced charts representation
Auto layout with specific arrangements

Likelihood to Recommend

In my opinion, DHTMLX's differentiating feature is its ability to be integrated into existing applications, whether in web mode or as a fat client for graphical or tabular editors. On the other hand, advanced customization and the addition of new functionalities may be more complex to implement and maintain over time. For example, we had to add the management of specific types of links, with the visualization of “bridges” at crossings. Depending on the functionality, this type of modification or extension can be tedious if not foreseen by DHTMLX.

Gantt Chart Resource Management

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

July 4, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're developing a custom resource management application in ASP.Net Core 8, Entity Framework 8 and SQL Server hosted on Azure. A critical requirement is a Gantt chart to display projects, tasks and assignments that can be resourced while also displaying below the Gantt chart a grid showing resource load so that over/under loading becomes obvious. The DHTMLX Gantt allows us to do exactly that as it's specifically designed in this way with the ability to capture events from the Gantt and handle them as required server side then display back to the user in the grid. The interaction is handled by Javascript/JQuery back to the server which responds with JSON. Although Vue, Angular and React are also supported if a customer prefers. There are many additional features which can be included like sorting, grouping and the documentation and examples are extensive.

Pros

Gantt: Moving tasks or entire projects
Gantt: A linked grid to display resource load
Gantt: Full control allowing you to decide how to implement
Pricing was reasonable and we can upgrade to Enterprise by paying the difference if required.

Cons

There's always room to provide more samples to help

Likelihood to Recommend

I can only speak about the Gantt chart but support has been excellent and the documentation is very thorough. It is only appropriate if you have the skills required to implement it, however this can be outsourced or internal developers augmented, this service can be offered by XB Software as they offer DHTMLX Customization and Development.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Recently at Ta9, we've been in search of a flexible Gantt library that can be customized to suit the needs of our clients. We were pleased to discover such capabilities in this library. Its interface is easy to implement, and I highly recommend it. The examples provided on the website were helpful in understanding the various functionalities of Gantt, and the public support/forum proved to be very useful.
