Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Webix UI is a fast JavaScript UI components library that allows you to develop powerful mobile and desktop web apps based on HTML5 and CSS3. Customizable widgets and controls enable you to effortlessly deploy a consistent look and feel across your apps. It's very fast and easy to use. I like the look and feel of the controls as well. The kanban board is fantastic and flexible. Documentation is great.

Pros

  • Customizable widgets and controls help you to present different types of data nicely and work with it.
  • Most of the popular data formats are supported. Large component library and rich UI.

Cons

  • I’ve hardly had any.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need to create an interactive data report, optimize a workflow, handle hierarchical data or make calculations in a powerful spreadsheet, you will find a proper widget for your needs in the Webix UI library. If we want to display data in various forms Webix UI layouts and widget help to organize a web page and define its overall look-and-feel.

Webix UI in a React based Web Portal

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Webix to build an easy to use Web Protal for GDPR management. Especially the advanced components like Kanban Board make it easy to complete a compelling product in little time. We used Webix standalone in the beginning and switched to a React environment later. Webix works great in both environments. We tested many Libraries but finally settled for React with Webix as most efficient for us.

Pros

  • The Kanban Control allowed to implement a compelling task management system with little effort.
  • The Chart Control made it easy to create our dashboard and it was a lot easier than using D3js as we did before. D3 allows a lot more flexibility but it takes often 10 times longer to get a chart done than using Webix.
  • Support at Webix is very helpful and responsive.

Cons

  • Since we are using react as foundation it was difficult to use some features in our environment. In the beginning we tried to have a drag and drop customizable Webix UI combined with React and failed miserably doing so. Current Version has a much better React integration.

Webix makes it easy to build a complex Web UI. Combining technologies (like React and Webix) is tricky. Most features work as expected but some are tricky.

In way React Components "communicate" and the way a complete Webix Form works is not exactly compatible. Some of these problems are not obvious. However with a good design it is easy to fix. React has to orchestrate the page and each Webix Component / Form is independent from the others and relies only on Rect to integrate.

Using Webix alone (iE with the JEt Framework) is trivial but was not enough for our whole application.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've used Webix on a few projects, but most notably have been using it for Seller's Suite. We really don't have a bad thing to say about it. Documentation is great. Have found very few bugs in the 3 years we've been using it, which makes it one of the more stable JS UI frameworks we've used. It's fast. It's easy to use. The best part? Their service is fantastic!

I don't normally do reviews, but I want Webix and their team to get as much recognition as possible.

Pros

  • Great framework
  • Good documentation
  • Fantastic customer service

Cons

  • None at the moment

Likelihood to Recommend

I can't think of any instance where Webix would not be appropriate. However, we have not tried their mobile UI yet.
