I wrote a couple of apps for that book and since then I've been prototyping a very large and complex app with Webix that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with a webapp and thus far Webix has performed flawlessly. I've done most of my professional web development work with ExtJS, and I feel like the #1 and #2 spots is a fight between ExtJS and Webix and I'm actively pushing Webix for future projects. Webix compares very favorably to it in every regard and exceeds it in many. I've also found that my interactions with the people who develop Webix have been very positive. They are very helpful and friendly, which frankly is a contrast to other competing products out there (I won't name names, but it's not hard to guess based on this comment). Webix puts a ton of power in your hands and does so in a very simple way. It's very easy to get your head wrapped around and it's easy to make it do what you want. Using Webix is rarely a struggle because it behaves as it should and is well thought out in all regards. I don't think my highly complex project would be even half as far along as it is if I hadn't chosen Webix and except for ExtJS I don't believe there's any other product on the market that would have even been viable (and looked at A LOT of options in coming to that determination). I can't recommend Webix enough for any web development project, that's the bottom line! Pros I like that Webix provides a code-centric development model. I prefer this to the more markup-centric approaches out there. I like that the APIs Webix provides are logical, consistent and rational. It's easy to guess what properties/methods I need even for components I may not be familiar with because of this. I like that Webix provides most of the widgets and components I want to build a modern UI. The performance Webix offers is second to none and remains consistently performant no matter the complexity of weight of the UI. This can't be overstated: I've experienced no better library/toolkit/framework than Webix in this regard. I VERY much like that Webix doesn't try to make you do things a certain way, by and large. It's a relatively unopinionated product, which is refreshing in this world of heavyweight frameworks that try to box you into very specific patterns. Finally, Webix has a pretty good cost model. It could be less expensive, especially for single and small shops, but when you start comparing the cost to other comparable products you find that Webix actually IS actually quite inexpensive. The cost to benefit ratio with Webix is VERY good, that's for sure! Cons The out-of-the-box styles Webix offers could be better, and the ability to manipulate that styling could also be a little better (it's a little bit inconsistent with how you do it sometimes but more importantly it's a little bit limited). As with virtually every product in the world, documentation could be a little better. It's not at all bad, and better than MANY other products I've used, but I do sometimes find it tricky to get to exactly the information I need. The API docs specifically I think could use with a little bit of reorganizing. But this is a fairly small quibble, frankly because, like as said, Webix's documentation is, in fact, better than many other competing solutions... but it could be better is all I'm saying :) Review Source Response from XB Software April 16, 2021 Thank you for your feedback!

We’ve been working with it for years now and it has become an essential part of our daily work. The quality, stability, and flexibility are unmatched – we simply don’t want to miss it anymore. And the team behind it is just incredible: responsive, supportive, and always pushing the product forward. Highly recommended! Pros We really appreciate most of the features – everything feels very clean and well organized. Overall, we’re very happy with the features; the design is clean, clear, and easy to use. Cons Although Widgets are sometimes priced at a premium and may initially appear more expensive compared to alternative products in the market, the investment consistently proves to be worthwhile because the quality, durability, and overall reliability of these Widgets far exceed what one might expect from lower-priced options. Customers quickly realize that paying a little more up front translates into significant long-term benefits, including fewer replacements, reduced maintenance, and a smoother day-to-day experience. Review Source Response from XB Software August 19, 2025 Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re truly happy to hear that Webix has become such an essential part of your daily work. Your words about quality, stability, and flexibility mean a lot to our team. We’ll keep doing our best to make the product even better and we deeply appreciate your long-term trust and support.

If chat gpt didn't exist, this would be a terrible product. Pros It is declaritive which can make it flexible to be server or client side. It looks pretty good, and when it works, it works well Cons It tries to keep pulling you further and further into their eco system. The documentation looks good at first, but if you have to do anything complicated you quickly find it is lacking. Priority support is a straight up lie. They promise live sessions, and an audit to the integration, but refuse to meet at all. The email support is literally, "it works on our end", "send us a standalone bug of the report and we'll look into it". And they refuse to refund for priority support that they don't even offer. If you do go with it, do not go with priority support. Ask for a sales meeting, you'll find it impossible to meet with them. Review Source Response from XB Software August 13, 2025 Dear Tyler, We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We had a discussion with our Technical and Customer Support specialists and hoped we've reached a satisfactory resolution. We regret that it didn’t fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will continue working to improve our support and documentation for more complex cases. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Really good experience. The widgets they have provided are awesome. Really loving it. Saving lots of designing time. Inbuilt templates are helping a lot. Pros 1\. Drag and drop features 2. Export your designed web pages as image, export as a PDF file or as a html page along with javascript and CSS 3. Learning curve is very less 4. Easy to design application pages and preview at the same time 5. Variety of components available almost for each and every section of the application 5. It supports almost all the browsers. Cons 1\. Price is too high as compared to other alternatives 2. Integration with other libraries needs an improvement 3. Documentation needs a little bit improvement.

This is available on this repo, https://github.com/Mashiane/BANanoWebix. I write my code using B4J, a basic compiler and it generates javascript code that I am easily using in testing Webix and all its functionalities. For me this means I can use my basic code experience to create beautiful apps in Webix. I have been using the trial version and the documentation is detailed and also very simple to use. I like the simplicity of having to declare objects and then Webix does the magic of building the HTML that is my UI. This is a brilliant piece of software. The learning curve is easy and the Form Builder makes creating your prototypes easy in a structured way. Most of the components share the same methods and properties so learning about one component and another becomes a breeze as long as you know how to use one. The support from the forum was lovely as I asked a question and got a response very soon to help me around the coding I was doing. So I will use it as part of a product offering as coding with it is more faster than anything I have ever seen before. It shows there are brilliant minds behind its success. As a developer in South Africa, I'm just finding out if there is an option for 1 developer unlimited projects price structure. Pros Ease of use Speed of producing a working application in no time at all Forum support Object Declarative coding Built in charting framework Professional widgets Built in reporting Ability to export to PDF, EXCEL etc Cons Prices are very steep No offline documentation Reason for choosing Webix It works!! Its quick to develop an app, its not complicated, its object oriented and there is very good documentation and the forum search works.

Pros \- It's easy to use and it has a lot of built-in features for modern applications. - Support is probably one of the best things about Webix. The team is really nice, very helpful and responds quickly. - Regular releases Cons \- It's not well known, which is really a shame. I've used a number of JS frameworks and I think Webix is one of the best ones out there and the best for quick prototyping. - Styling certain components can be tricky, but they released an update that is supposed to make styling easier, but I haven't used this yet.

Cons \- There is room for improvement in the documentation, but this is not an issue exclusive to Webix, it is an industry issue. Review Source RP Ruslan P.

Pros The interface is very helpful for UI development, it has an ease of use due to the javascript library for cross platforms. Cons My only concern was the expenses involved with the subscription but there is an option for one time payment which is not that cheap but quite affordable compared to the benefits of the webix app. Review Source JB Joshua B. Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fast development with powerful widgets" May 6, 2019 5.0 Pros Webix is first and foremost a declarative solution to building web applications. This means that it is very easy to learn and build complicated apps with small amounts of code. For example, I am new to web development and I was able to build a simple web app in under two days using just Webix and node.js. Cons It can be difficult to find help when you are stuck since it is not very popular. Review Source Response from XB Software April 16, 2021 Thank you for your feedback! MH Mike H.

It is very usefull framework to use in Corporate structures. I recomend this framework who wants to keep standarts during the developments. Pros The Project standards easily keep by all developers during the Project implementation. The library have very usefull components and widgets. Also you can easily create custom components that the project needs. There are more complex widgets that you spend to much time to implement by any other frameworks. Cons The documentation of webix could be more understandanble and have more examples to all components. Review Source Response from XB Software April 16, 2021 Thank you for your feedback!

MR Michard R. IT engineer Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "webix : Javascript UI components" January 21, 2021 5.0 Web applications we develop with Webix are mainly to collect , update/delete/ vizualize data, store the on database, import / export in different formats, dispatch them in specific pipelines, .. Pros I need to use high level UI components ofJavascript to build friendly and easy use web applications for our users of different services. I have used some years ago Adobe FLex, then Google GWT, and these last years Sencha Ext Js. I have tested Syncfusion UI JS and Telerik Kendo UI. But when I meet Webix UI components, I decided to adopt it mainly for : many many available components, high quality, and mostly time of loading of web app, even a huge application, is very short in intranet or internet deployment compared to the same web app developed with others UI Js librairies. Indeed, the learning curve is very confortable and mainly short if the developer have used jquery. The documentation is very rich and the technical support is very reactive. So what else to ask. Cons Sometimes, It takes to me a while to find what I look for on online documentation. And I think also some given examples are trivial. Reason for choosing Webix I use Javascript for front end and Java EE for back end Review Source Response from XB Software April 16, 2021 Thank you for your feedback! SB Suraj B.

We wonder why its not in the top 10 JS framework. We are using the "datatable" the most. Pros 1\. Extremely fast, the best in terms of performance 2. Efficient DOM management, less DOM footprints in the Browser 3. The 'datatable' is the fastest available 4. Flexibility to extend controls easily, as sub components are loosely coupled 5. Tech support is active and very responsive 6. Theming is easy and gives developer more control Cons 1\. No support for MVC or MVVM 2. Need to improve inline editing in datatable to handle combo/selection/date controls 3. There should be a better way of accessing relationship between dom elements 4. Lack of comprehensive and modular documentation. Examples are not accessible easily Review Source Response from XB Software April 16, 2021 Thank you for your feedback!

I would have to triple my development team without it. Pros The grid is very powerful yet easy to use and feature excellent filtering and exporting/printing. The online examples are also easy to follow and build upon. Cons There is nothing to dislike about this product! The company really listens to feedback and is constantly adding to and improving the product. Reason for choosing Webix Smaller download and excellent support provided by Webix.

VR Verified Reviewer Head of Consulting Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Productivity Gain" May 4, 2019 5.0 Coming from React and Vue, which I still like a lot, my problem was, that it took me too much time to fiddle around with very promising but still incomplete open source frontend frameworks. Adjusting CSS settings to fit all the different browsers even though applying CSS polyfills was a night-mare. So I was losing too much time on correcting visualization instead of providing function. Had for the last project no time to deliver, so I was searching for a complete frontend component system. Which I fortunately found with Webix. Of course, there are also others, but the features/size ratio of the components and the start-price was best on Webix. So, I was able to finalize the app in no time, including learning the framework. The resulting app based on Webix, Webix-Jet, ES5, Sharepoint-OData and Material Design looks professionally designed and renders fast. It is also easy to re-use its components and to maintain the app. Pros \+ Completeness and Features of the controls and widgets + Works consistent across Browsers, no re-work required + Configuration of Visual Representation instead of Programming + Consistent properties, methods, events across components + Webix-Jet as a Kick-Starter + Good Documentation, Demo Apps and Examples Cons \- Have to renew it annually for getting updates afterwards (No lifetime updates) - PDF Exporter is still too slow and the resulting pdf is visually not convincing, so I can't use it. It doesn't handle my own icons/images and page sizes correctly (as of version 6.2). Or I haven't figured out all configuration possibilities yet.

All material design practices are already taken in to account, so I don't need to waste my or UX expert time. Webix team helped with some specific customization. Pros Huge number of UI controls and widgets. They are responsive, material proof and ready-made! No time waste for extra development. Really useful documentation and support forum. Enough of sample codes and friendly support. Cons Perfect library but we need more… Gantt chart and image gallery needed. Need more integration samples for various Java frameworks.
