At Bryntum, we prioritize performance without compromising developer experience – which is why we’ve created guides to facilitate the migration from DevExpress DevExtreme to Bryntum components.

Transition to our project management tool, Bryntum Gantt, and our task planner, Bryntum Scheduler, to improve your productivity and help users manage multiple demands and deadlines.

All Bryntum components are built with vanilla JavaScript and seamlessly integrate with React, Vue, and Angular frameworks. They are compatible with any backend technology and work with modern development tools.

The issue with DevExpress DevExtreme

DevExpress components perform best with smaller, unchanging datasets, making them well-suited to use cases that don’t require customization or additional features. However, using DevExpress tools with large datasets can lead to performance bottlenecks that result in slower rendering and lag and interfere with user productivity. 

Tracking multiple projects in a Gantt chart, or planning schedules for numerous people across different teams and departments, requires a complex setup. Using lightweight DevExpress components for these demanding tasks can slow rendering and loading times, make the codebase difficult to maintain, and complicate further feature additions and improvements.

If you’re building a SaaS or enterprise-grade application, DevExpress components can compromise user experience and productivity.
