GrapeCity Developer SolutionsReviews of grapecity.com

Excellent per-sales support from GrapeCity responding to some developer questions. Product performance is outstanding. Looking forward to a successful partnership. Purchased the 5 developer license of Java Edition.

Please inform beforehand breaking changes between new and old versions of Windows spread and spreadjs.

All OK. Perfect

This company has a large set of components which will meet developers needs. Also they have a very kind and responsive support team.

Good collection of products, some are very powerful (like FlexGrid, C1combo etc). The support staff are very quick to respond to any queries, they are very patient in listening and reading through the questions or issues and provide very detailed explanation along with a sample which is a big winner for a user like me. Keep up the good work!

Bo was excellent in his help to get our licenses renewed.

I have been using Spread JS (Javascript Spreadsheet) and have found it to be an excellent product. It has nearly all the features one can expect in a spreadsheet and the fact that it runs inside a browser (as against other spreadsheet apps running on a desktop using native code ) makes it all the more desirable especially in developing web applications.

The products are great. My only complaint/suggestion - and I assume others may be in my situation. As a part-time coder, I don't use/implement (etc) the available controls on a daily or regular basis. So when I do get back to it, or when I do need to implement a new version or new control, I feel somewhat lost as to how to just get it all setup in my development environment (if that makes sense?). Once I work thru that, things go smoothly. So it would be very helpful to have step-by-step, "pretend like a know nothing - start from the beginning" instructions on how to get started (maybe you already have it, and i just don't know where to look when I need it). Somewhat related, it can be a little confusing to understand the ramifications of upgrading controls (local vs not-local implementations, etc) what effects upgrades might have on existing applications that use older versions, compatibility, etc. That confusion will often cause me to drag my feet on keeping up-to-date on versions, etc. which probably also puts a drag on users using the new controls, features in new releases. Some kind of primer help on these things would probably also be helpful.
