GrapeCity Developer Solutions

Spread.Net is in my opinion the best product available for implementing Excel-like functionality in a Windows Forms application. It is very strong on feature-set and performance. The on-line support people take an interest and have been able to resolve minor issues we have experienced.

Good vendor. Easy to do business with.

Corey Proseus was very attentive and assisted through the entire process of upgrading our subscription.

thanks

We purchased ActiveReportsJS.
The documentation is so poor about license activation. (designer and embedded web viewer)
I am not able to connect to a database using designer to build the report.

We were looking to upgrade an older version of the spread software to work with windows 10. GrapeCity was able to work with us to upgrade to a current version of the product. Technical support and customer service were excellent.

GrapeCity have great people in their sales and technical teams. Their online services take some beating too (I'm yet to find anyone who can!).

All in all, a great company to help you with your development tools.

response was quick and respond to my question

Excellent tool for reporting purpose.

Excellent communcation and response time

Very responsive and versatile controls, knowledgeable techsupport .

Active report is a really interesting product but it's not really finish/polished (web). Documentation is poor.

Customer support save this product, even with all problem we are supporting and are willing to help and hotfix showstopper issue.

Sales team was very responsive.
When we needed more time to create and get feedback on our proof-of-concept, they supplied extra evaluation licenses quickly.

I originally purchased the spreadsheet product when it was part of Wijimo.

The product has evolved and is very good but the licensing has been a source of a major amount of frustration and has inhibited our development.

As a long term user I feel like I have not been treated fairly.

I should have been grandfathered when your went to server based licensing.

Been using it for years, best .net report creator there is.

Great support to get the renewal of our license done in quick time.

The products and features are good, but being tied to specific Visual Studio versions is a huge burden to pay for, maintain, and release. We literally don't want to use your products anymore but our applications are so tied to them we have no choice for the foreseeable future.

One of my best inversions. I do a lot of proyect in a few moment (Great flex grid and others)

Good response times for support

Love ActiveReports!

With a bit of training, it's really simple to use and I love how flexible it is in regards to being able to use C# or VB to customize the report without adding complexity.

This is a good, comprehensive solution for Excel-style workbooks and worksheets. The libraries are very reliable. I do wish the documentation was stronger; there are a few things I might like to use, but the documentation barely exists.

We don't do much business with GrapeCity. The purchase process went smoothly and the product is solid. The web site is a little unclear about how the individual products fit in with the overall scheme, so it took a little bit to figure out what we needed.

+ Several C1winform controls are user friendly and you can get a nice application easly with them
– It was an error to use C1 in our windows app but now removing it's too expensive. The appllication is slower than the same with default .net controls and the worst think is when you need help or examples, the documentation is poor, with native .net controls you can find anything you want on MS, stackoverflow or other forums.

Documents for Excel .Net is a great product. It does everything I need without having to purchase an Excel license for every machine to which I deploy. Their sales team was very responsive to my pre-sale questions. Their free 30-day trial was most helpful in allowing me to run the product through various tests to make sure it would fit my development needs. I have now purchased the product and am using it successfully in production.

Overall very solid products and support.

Bo was informative and very helpful. Not pushy but helped me get to a decision quickly, one that I felt good about!
