Delphi is designed for individual developers, small teams, and enterprise teams that build desktop, mobile, multi-tier, cloud, database, and web-based applications. It fits software development organizations of different sizes that need a tool for creating business and technical apps across multiple deployment environments. Features and Usability ### What are the key features of Delphi? Delphi includes an integrated development environment with a graphical user interface, drag and drop design, and visual modeling for application building. It also offers version control, workflow management, deployment management, third-party integrations, and API support for web and mobile app development using agile methodologies. Integrations ### Which third-party tools and platforms does Delphi integrate with? Delphi integrates with TMS Software components, including SmoothControls, for UI development. Catalog integration data is limited here, so TMS Software is the only confirmed third-party brand available. These components cover controls and other Delphi add-ons used in application design and interface customization. Answer based on 1 reviews Getting Started and Support ### What customer support options does Delphi offer? Delphi provides email/help desk, FAQ/forum, and phone support. Without reviewer feedback on support experiences, no claims can be made about response speed, helpfulness, or common frustrations. The listed channels indicate users can seek help through written support, self-serve guidance, or direct phone contact. ## Features Features with the highest number of reviews are displayed first.

President Computer Software ### "Delphi is a valuable development tool for multiple targets." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 17, 2023 It has been great creating solutions for customers. Including Forensic laboratories and police departments. Pros It can do anything from make an android app to connecting a Laboratory toxicology screening instrument via tcp/ip. It can deliver results to a Oracle database as easy as a mysql database. Cons New forms are automatically created at program startup. Make an option to create on reference like this example.\* This leaves nothing to change in existing programs.In a form unit, remove the existing auto created variable and make it a function. Reasons for choosing Delphi Past knowledge and belief that it would be continously updated. It has been for 25 years!

Pros It's very easy to create rich user interfaces for the desktop and mobile environments, all in one code base Cons Stability issues are hard not to notice but can most often be worked around Reasons for choosing Delphi VB feels more like a toy thing, without any serious help from the compiler Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

PROGAMADOR Computer Software ### "Programacion sencilla" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 29, 2022 Buenos manejo de bases de datos importante, la facilidad para los informes y filtros.

Tim C. Software Engineer Computer Software ### "A life with Delphi" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 April 21, 2022 If you want to develop a cross-platform app from scratch quickly, it is a good environment to work with. But if / when you need to integrate with other technologies a few questions are raised. Pros The ability to deliver cross-platform applications from the one code base makes the development process much easier. I am able to create an application for iOS, Android, and Windows. Additionally the apps are native to each target. Debugging is also a breeze, even with Android apps. Cons While the community version is free, the cost to purchase otherwise is a tad on the expensive side when you consider what is possible in other development environments. Not all technologies (and associated libraries) can be use with Delphi. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

GIS Administrator Government Administration ### "Object-oriented desktop programming for small shops" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 February 23, 2022 I loved Delphi straight out of college like a young boy loves his dog: I was excited when it was a puppy and I taught it tricks and we were best friends and did everything together; and then the dog got older, laid around the house a lot, and we would just spend time together by being in the same room. I would never get rid of it, because I love it so much, but it was time to move on. Pros Programmers my age might remember programming with Pascal. Delphi is the modern IDE for that language which is why source files are named with the .pas extension to this day. Delphi is a fun IDE where a programmer can learn a lot about object-oriented programming. If I had to write a new desktop software today, I would do it in Delphi. Delphi is not an interpreted language like Java; it compiles right into binary machine code that Windows can readily run. I understand that one can also compile programs for iOS devices, though I never tried. I learned so much about programming with Delphi in my decades using it. I learned about refactoring, code insight, coding patterns, and user interface design. Cons Delphi has always had difficulty moving into the modern age of web and app development and code sharing. It tries to solve modern challenges using old school techniques. Delphi marketing has shown a lot of cool, modern things that Delphi can do, but I found documentation, walk-throughs, and samples to be lacking and of superb quality. Delphi has also had a hard time grappling with web standards like XML, namespaces, SOAP, REST, JSON, https, authentication protocols, and more. What astounded me was that, once these technologies were implemented the first time, Delphi wouldn't look back, see what they did poorly, and improve it; the features would just be deployed the same way, year after year, version after paid version. In later years I wondered what we were paying for when these web deficiencies stayed the same. So, they're great at desktop and database communication, but not for much else. Reasons for choosing Delphi At the time, there really was no other product which allowed programmers to create native Win32 applications that talked to an enterprise database.

Revenue Manager Hospitality ### "Great Product" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 6, 2022 Pros The software is super simple to use and works great with all other systems we have in place in our company! Cons While a quality product, it's not super intuitive fore beginner employees. Once they have time to practice it is great, but in the beginning it seems to be a little clunky/overwhelming.
