"...All the feedback from our users has been positive. Buying the Dundas Chart for .NET control was a pain free process and we have been impressed by follow up enquiries from the sales and support team. The chart control comes bundled with comprehensive documentation and a wide range of samples in C# and vb.net. We found the samples extremely useful in climbing the initial learning curve. The Chart Wizard makes designing the chart for display a simple task and an intuitive programming model provides fine grained control over a wide range of chart options. Manx Electricity Authority are more than satisfied with their purchase of Dundas Chart for .NET."

"I've found Dundas Chart to be much faster than a similar product from a different vendor, and I've found the object model to be well thought out and easy to understand. Your charting software has also greatly enhanced the appeal of my demos"
Alex Chervet

"...I was very impressed with the level of professionalism exhibited by your company, I have never experienced this before. I have tried other charting software, which were very useful in their own right, but none could even compare to Dundas Chart for ASP.NET. This is exactly what I was lookin for..."

"We examined a whole range of charting solutions for our latest .NET project, and Dundas Chart for .NET was the clear winner. It was packed with so many features and code examples that we simply couldn't miss out on this product. It really helped us produce a rapid prototype to convince the customer, and when it came to the development, the support team where very quick in responding to our calls for help. Overall, Dundas Chart for .NET was a blessing, from the free trial to the easy installation, exceptional documentation and examples; great output and customisation ability, then the icing on the cake, helpful and persistent support staff ! We were very happy with every aspect from Dundas, and there is no doubt we will look to them for solutions in the future."

"I looked at a bunch of ASP.NET chart tools and I couldn't make a bit of sense out of any of them. The demos didn't work. The sample code didn't run. The explanations might as well have been in Greek...Then I stumbled on Dundas Chart for ASP.NET. The demos work, the sample code is clear and concise and the material included in the evaluation version actually explains how to use the product. Even a novice can get that "hello world" app, that is so important, up and running. Your tech support is also prompt and very helpful."
Bob Sacks

"One of the reasons we switched to Dundas is your support...hands-down better than your competition ... not to mention your product is also a hands-down leader."
Brett Johnson
Nexgenesis Inc
"I was particularly impressed with the depth of Dundas Chart. I enjoy the complete control that Dundas Chart gives, as I haven't yet been able to find features that I haven't been able to tweak. The Samples Framework is also extremely well done, as I wouldn't have known of many of the possible applications if they weren't contained in it for me to try out. Dundas obviously put a lot of thought and work into it"

"When we began evaluating charting engines to integrate with Reporting Services, we had a few key requirements. At the top of the list were high performance and scalability. Second, the charting engine had to produce high quality output and have a rich set of visualization features. Third, it had to be easily accessible from within managed code. Not only did Dundas Chart for .NET meet all of our requirements, we were able to very quickly integrate it into the Reporting Services report designer and report processing engine."
Brian Welcker

"...We looked at several other graphing solutions before we found Dundas. Once I downloaded the Dundas Chart for .NET demo, I was hooked. You guys have the nicest looking, easiest to use and best documented product out there. I had data bound graphs up and working within 15 minutes. Thank you for such a great product."

"(Using Dundas Chart for .NET) Our development time for the charts was reduced by 2/3rds and our customization code was reduced by 2/3rds. Our developer had a smile on his face the whole time rather than the grimace he constantly wore previously...This is surely the premier charting tool backed up with premier support.Well done Dundas Chart!!!"

"Not only was Dundas chart more than full-featured enough, but the documentation was definitely geared towards getting a charting newbie started fast. In an afternoon, I was able to create an interactive download reporting page"
Chris Sells

"I have been supremely pleased with Dundas Chart for ASP.NET. As a developer interested in building functionality into my web applications quickly, Dundas' drag-and-drop / wizard interface is a breeze to use. A wealth of properties can be read and set at design-time or run-time, making charts much more than just "bars and axes" on a screen! The vast number of sample solutions for Visual Studio.Net gives me insight into the best programming practices for using the charts, and the newly revamped help is by far the best help system I've seen in any third-party product. Finally, and probably most importantly, the Dundas personnel are first-rate, all the way from sales to technical support. I highly recommend Dundas Chart for ASP.NET to other .Net developers - you won't be sorry! "

"Thank you Dundas! For a high quality, robust and most of all intuitive component; Exactly how I wanted the application to behave it did. Within one day of receiving the component we had delivered a web application containing Dundas Chart exactly meeting requirements and more. All contact with customer services was also impeccably handled, its nice to know there are still companies out there willing to go the extra mile! "

"I downloaded the eval to get a good feel for how the Dundas controls work, and I can tell you -- after years of using Flash, ASP, and .NET to write charting code myself, these charting controls blow everything I've ever done out of the water. They're so solid and easy to use, and the samples are so thorough."
Dan Waters

"I was able to create an array of custom charting components based on the Dundas Chart for ASP.NET control in under a week! I was extremely impressed with the usability of the Chart’s object model, as it seemed that everything I needed was right there at my finger tips. I have used Dundas Software products since 1998 and with each new project I take on it seems there is always an obvious place for a Dundas technology within it. I can’t wait to see the next generation of productivity boosting innovations from Dundas."
Dave Penney

"Our company web site needed highly sophisticated interactive charts to display complex information to the public. The Dundas Chart Control for .Net met and far exceeded our expectations in every respect. From a software engineering point of view, its interface is comprehensive and its rendering speeds are blindingly fast. This is a truly remarkable piece of software."

"I am the Programming Manager here at Sacred Heart Hospital. We have struggled to find a robust, yet flexible and dynamic product to present our data and metrics - until we found Dundas! Dundas Chart for .NET and Dundas Gauge for .NET truly give our dashboards and reports a superior and professional look. Once our managers saw the charts and gauges online, they all want their own! Thanks for the job security!"

"Speedware has had great success using Dundas Charts and Gauges Enterprise edition within Media, our full featured BI tool. With Dundas, the user interface for our dashboards went from nice to WOW! – and that was using just a subset of the available properties. The response from Media developers, end users and partners alike has been very positive: the analytical dashboards we build now look amazing. Charts are clean, intuitive and feature-rich. But that’s just the beginning. Other parts of our organization are starting to take notice. We look forward to using more of the Dundas graphical platform to continue enhancing Media, and we expect to use Dundas in our other development efforts as well."

"We were impressed during our original evaluation of charting solutions for ASP.NET by the clear and well thought out object structure used by Dundas Chart for .NET and that impression has be reinforced by our continued use of the control. Congratulations to all at Dundas Software on creating a very useful addition to ASP.NET." "

"We are very pleased with Dundas Chart for .NET - The charting component exceeded our expectations. We liked the way the charts looked and handle the data without missing data points or labels. From a developer's perspective, however, what really sold us was the sample website that comes with your product. It lets you see the actual charts, play with the configuration, and see the results without writing any code...This shortened the development time by an order of magnitude!"

“We find Dundas Chart easy to use, well integrated with Visual Studio, and very fast. We have incorporated Dundas Chart into our web-based CRM system to allow users to convert table output from our analytic modules into charts. A collection of these dynamic charts and tables can be grouped together using our dashboard feature. Dundas Chart has enabled us to add an important data visualization capability to our product - our customers love it”

"My team and I reviewed nearly a dozen different charting components and suites, and we have decided that Dundas Charts offers the best overall balance of features, chart quality, ease of use, and price. Specifically, we were most impressed with the rich client-side support and powerful data binding capabilities of your charts. Your components were well-documented and easy to understand, so we don't have any questions regarding their functionality."
James Messinger

"We tried the other Charting companies but found that even the visually simple charts we needed to produce by the thousands for the BBC every hour could only be done using Dundas Chart for .NET. It seems Dundas are the only ones to provide the perfect combination of flexibility, performance and ease of integration that we all crave."

"The reason we chose Dundas was for the simple reason that it has the best product at the best price. We were specifically looking for charts to work with on the .NET framework and when it was said and done, the only option we really felt we had was Dundas."
Joel Konecny
Data Financial Corporation
"As a developer, I was very pleased with the ease of use of the Dundas Chart component. The initial wizard dialog is great when you are first dropping the component on the IDE. It is very easy to setup the basic look and feel. Once I had the look of the charts I was happy with, the actual coding was very straightforward. The included samples and chart solutions answered any questions along the way and I was quickly able to get a prototype application in front of my clients. After a few tweaks and additions suggested, I had this application in production. Both the VB and ASPX applications were in production within five days of the initial client meeting. I do not think this would be possible with the other charting software I have evaluated in the past year."

"I was in need of an .NET charting solution for a small charting project I was working on. After trying several competitive solutions, I found Dundas Chart For ASP.NET to be leaps and bounds above the competition! I would have no hesitation in recommending Dundas Chart For ASP.NET to anyone who is looking for a charting solution. The ease of use and the support behind this product is incredible! Finally a product and a company willing to take the time to work with the developer! Well done Dundas!"

"I saw an ad for Dundas Chart for Windows Forms and downloaded the demo…The demos and online help were amazingly complete, the best I have ever seen. In fact, I showed several people just so they could see what a good third party control should be like. Within 2 days, I was able to completely replace the original charting control with the Dundas one. Within the week, I was able to enhance the UI significantly using many of Dundas’ advanced features"

"Dundas Chart has proved to be an excellent choice for meeting our charting requirements. The tool itself is remarkably easy to work with, and it looks fantastic. Not to mention the sales and support teams are knowledgeable, friendly, and quick to respond. We will definitely look to Dundas Software in the future for any of our charting needs."
Juan Tosoni
Founder and CEO
TX2 Systems Inc
"Our company recently did an evaluation on multiple charting packages. After about 10 minutes into the evaluation (literally) we choose Dundas. The integration with Microsoft was tremendous, but more importantly the charts themselves were the most professional that we’ve seen – stellar, in fact. After building a prototype internally using Dundas Charts we showed the prototype to Senior Management. They were so blown away that they reversed their decision to use the tool for internal purposes only and instead decided to roll out the application directly to clients. This would not have happened had we not had Dundas Charts. To this day, after 3 months of it being deployed, we still get compliments specifically on the charts themselves. Dundas Charts made all the difference in selling our application to Senior Management."
Keith Tuskey

"I was looking for a decent charting tool to plot financial data and the charts I used previously were just too limited and cumbersome and frankly, too ugly. I purchased Dundas Chart based upon the wealth of samples they provide, hoping I could get a basic chart up and running as quickly as possible. Normally, I expect a tool of such complexity to take a while to understand so I usually start off by “shoe-horning” a sample into my app and go from there. With Dundas Chart, that wasn’t necessary. With the use of their wizard and only a few lines of code I was able to create the chart I was looking for almost immediately. Tech support is excellent, usually coming through that same day. Better still, almost every session I discover a new, cool chart property that almost begs to find a place in my application."

"Sometimes a product comes along that becomes so valuable and necessary to your business that you can’t imagine doing business without it. Dundas Chart and Gauge for .NET are two such products for us. The ease of use and flexibility of these controls are unlike anything I’ve seen in my 20+ years of programming. The range of controls and visual styles allow us to cater to our customers and develop personalized dashboards and information screens that make our software stand out in the pack. Dundas gives us the edge in a extremely competitive market and we can’t imagine doing business without these world class controls.”

"Clearent reporting enables a significant amount of complex data to be presented in a clear, concise manner through the use of tabular and graphical views. The end result is turning oftentimes unused raw data into actionable business intelligence. And certainly the Dundas Data Visualization tools have been key in empowering this functionality. The ease, flexibility and power of the Dundas tools have allowed us to move from wireframed concepts to production code quickly and easily, with distinctively styled and attractive reports that our customers love."

"The feature richness we found in Dundas Charts for Windows Forms were the perfect solution for our charting needs at the quality level our worldwide customers expect from O+O. The extremely well designed object model and superb documentation are second to none."
Michael Ganss
O+O Services GmbH
"One of the clear advantages of Dundas Chart for .NET over any of the other vendors was Dundas’ native support for .NET. The technology compatibility was immediately a benefit for us as one of the other vendors claimed support but it was clearly a set of wrappers to enable their older technology and it wasn't as extensive as the Dundas charts. Once the engineering group embedded the Dundas technology in Portfolio Edge, our Professional Services group started using the Dundas charts in custom extensions of our other products, and recommending it to our customers. To top it all off, the appearance of the charts was much better than the other vendors, and we have control to tweak the chart appearance to match our product styles."
Michael Lester

"Dundas rocks as usual. I was a strong advocate of your products at my last company, and was excited to see this copy of Dundas Chart for .Net here when I started! We have been using it here in a large-scale enterprise solution we developed for a client with users in excess of 5000. It handles in excess of 20,000 graphs a day, with lightning speed , and it has not failed us yet! Thanks!"

"I was very impressed with the versatility and ease of use of the Dundas Chart for ASP.NET. After due diligence with the competitors and a series of tests and proofs of concept, we were more than convinced about the product. We easily exposed the charting capabilities to our various applications through a web service interface. We are excited about the value we are able to bring using Dundas Chart to illustrate key HRIS values and metrics to employees."

"We tested a number of well-known charting components, but Dundas Chart was voted head and shoulders above the rest for quality and ease of use by our developers. It allowed us to prototype quickly and easily with its well thought out, developer-friendly interface. Dundas Chart came with plenty of practical, easy to understand samples - essential for developers who aren't yet familiar with a product. It enabled our team to hit the development ground running. The technical support was excellent, professional but friendly, with a rapid response time - right from the start of the trial period. Overall Dundas Chart gave us a much-accelerated return on investment, which is essential in the competitive, commercial marketplace we do business in and we highly recommend it."

"The project went live this past weekend and everything went beautifully. The charts are just outstanding and the users love them. I wanted to say thanks again for all your help and that of your support staff. I don't think the charting requirements could have been fulfilled with any other tool as easily or robustly as they were with the Dundas chart."
Scott Hunley
Keane Consulting Inc
"Dundas Chart for .NET is clearly designed by programmers who know how to create a reusable component. Not only is your feature list extensive (it even has built-in interactive charting - something we've been wanting to implement for a while), but the features are easy to find and use. And your help is 10 times better. In fact, it took me only 3 hours to recreate a demo in Dundas Chart which originally took me more than 3 days using another charting vendor. In addition, the new demo had more features. I'm ordering licences for my entire team."
Scott Kramer

"Our experience with Dundas has been top-notch. The product exceeded our expectations: it is well designed, intuitive, easy to use and yet very powerful. When we need some really complex data presentation, with just a glance at the documentation we can dive at some great features."

"Of the controls that I discovered and tried, I found Dundas Chart for Windows Forms to be the easiest to install, most intuitive to use, produced the most aesthetically pleasing graphs, and had the most comprehensive help. With the help of their chart and data wizard, I had had my first graphing job completed in break-neck speed...I would have no hesitation in recommending Dundas Chart for Windows Forms to anyone who is looking for a charting solution. The control is a pleasure to work with and is clearly far superior to all of the competing products that I evaluated."
Stacey Richards

"I'm using the WinForms Pro version of Dundas Chart with VS 2005 to do warehouse and repair/overhaul metrics. Downloading and installing the software was quick and easy, and it integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio. Dundas has done an outstanding job of creating a tool that is flexible, reliable, and simple to use. The nearly unlimited number of ways to display data has made my job more fun and our management team is very pleased with the results. I'm pretty happy with the choice I made and wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
Steve Hardgrove
Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.
"The Dundas Chart control allowed us to display complex data in an ASP.NET web application using colorful charts which made the information easier to understand and more meaningful to the end user. The professional appearance just blew them away and left them with a great impression. Again, the presentation is the first thing the end user sees and having that “wow” factor of the charts really got them excited about the application. The charts were professional, colorful, and provided lots of functionality programmatically."
Ted Howard

"After evaluating many other charting products, I sincerely think yours is the best on the market due to it being fully managed code, having rich design-time capabilities, drill-through by data point for the graphs and much display flexibility."

“Realyst needed to enhance our contract management system with a simple-to-use, graphic-based contract dashboard. We evaluated a number of third-party component vendors for a best fit and were immediately attracted to Dundas because of the attractive “look and feel” of its charting solution - and the potential it displayed to simplify our clients’ experiences. We can happily say that we made the right decision to go with Dundas. Our clients are very pleased with the quick and easy access they now get to key contract data and our development team have enjoyed working with the product. A decision well made!”

"I was delighted to work with Dundas Software. Dundas pre and post sale support is world class. They are professionals who are responsive and technically talented. Dundas Chart for .NET is simple and easy to use. In a few days I was able to add meaningful data visualization to decision support web applications which excited our executive staff. Dundas clever use of image maps added a level of interactivity to web pages that exceeded user expectations. Our users love dynamic tool tips, which render data/information derived from a measure with almost zero additional 'programming' effort...Dundas Chart allowed me to deliver the best of intuitive graphics and numbers while cutting weeks from the development schedule."

"Our business was founded on the idea of creating sound financial advice for Americans who typically do not have access to independent financial advisors. What that meant to us was creating interactive financial plans that used pictures and illustrations in lieu of boring tables and long, unreadable text. That is where Dundas stepped in. Dundas Chart for ASP.NET allowed us to depict difficult information in simple, visually pleasing graphs that are easy for our customers to understand and act on. The Dundas Charts in our Goal BluePrint really stand off the page!"

"The reason we chose Dundas Software is because of its excellent visuals, which no one can beat for Gauges and Charts. We have encapsulated the Dundas Software rendering into a SOA Component so it can present the indicators to our Digital Dashboards .

"Speedware has had great success using Dundas Charts and Gauges Enterprise edition within Media, our full featured BI tool. With Dundas, the user interface for our dashboards went from nice to WOW! – and that was using just a subset of the available properties. The response from Media developers, end users and partners alike has been very positive: the analytical dashboards we build now look amazing. Charts are clean, intuitive and feature-rich. But that’s just the beginning. Other parts of our organization are starting to take notice. We look forward to using more of the Dundas graphical platform to continue enhancing Media, and we expect to use Dundas in our other development efforts as well."

"When the need to create a dashboard style application arose, I evaluated controls from a number of companies. Dundas Gauge not only offers the most professional looking controls available but also the most flexible.

Couple that with excellent support and you have a product that can't be beaten."

"I am deeply impressed with Dundas Gauge Windows Forms, and the dedicated staff at Dundas Software. When I introduce my new engineering product, my customers will be taken aback by the new style interface. Since the old product was DOS based, it will be like going from a horse and buggy to a Lear. The revolutionary interface will allow my customers to produce superior design engineering in a vastly reduced time."

"The Gauge Wizard is an excellent tool. The most important properties are easily changed, and it is a snap to experiment with different looks. The consistent use of state indicators, numeric indicators and labels across gauge types makes it easy to present a wealth of information in a standard fashion. "
Bruce Reedy
Philips Semiconductor
"Together with the Chart package, we have been able to cover all the bases. The variety of gauge types has given us great flexibility in our presentation. As our requirements have changed we have been able to quickly select the Gauge or Chart control that precisely displays our data in the most intuitive way."

"Speedware has had great success using Dundas Charts and Gauges Enterprise edition within Media, our full featured BI tool. With Dundas, the user interface for our dashboards went from nice to WOW! – and that was using just a subset of the available properties. The response from Media developers, end users and partners alike has been very positive: the analytical dashboards we build now look amazing. Charts are clean, intuitive and feature-rich. But that’s just the beginning. Other parts of our organization are starting to take notice. We look forward to using more of the Dundas graphical platform to continue enhancing Media, and we expect to use Dundas in our other development efforts as well."

"The gauges were easy to use as they appeared immediately on the Reporting Services toolbar after installation. They were much more configurable than I had anticipated and I enjoyed adjusting things such as the font to make it more readable on my report. The cost of the Dundas Guage for Reporting Services is well worth the investment. You would not believe the look on people's faces when I showed them how quickly I could have a "working" not "static" gauge on a report."

"I have used the beta version of Dundas Gauge for Reporting Sevices in a test environment for one of our customers, and I am exited about what I have experienced so far. There are a lot of very nice gauges to choose between, and a lot of property settings. This gives me the opportunity to put together a set of reports in a very good looking solution. The objects are easy to implement and property settings are easy to use... I am looking forward to implement these objects in our solutions"

"...All the feedback from our users has been positive. Buying the Dundas Chart for .NET control was a pain free process and we have been impressed by follow up enquiries from the sales and support team. The chart control comes bundled with comprehensive documentation and a wide range of samples in C# and vb.net. We found the samples extremely useful in climbing the initial learning curve. The Chart Wizard makes designing the chart for display a simple task and an intuitive programming model provides fine grained control over a wide range of chart options. Manx Electricity Authority are more than satisfied with their purchase of Dundas Chart for .NET."

"We examined a whole range of charting solutions for our latest .NET project, and Dundas Chart for .NET was the clear winner. It was packed with so many features and code examples that we simply couldn't miss out on this product. It really helped us produce a rapid prototype to convince the customer, and when it came to the development, the support team where very quick in responding to our calls for help. Overall, Dundas Chart for .NET was a blessing, from the free trial to the easy installation, exceptional documentation and examples; great output and customisation ability, then the icing on the cake, helpful and persistent support staff ! We were very happy with every aspect from Dundas, and there is no doubt we will look to them for solutions in the future."

"I am deeply impressed with Dundas Gauge Windows Forms, and the dedicated staff at Dundas Software. When I introduce my new engineering product, my customers will be taken aback by the new style interface. Since the old product was DOS based, it will be like going from a horse and buggy to a Lear. The revolutionary interface will allow my customers to produce superior design engineering in a vastly reduced time."
Bill Bollinger
"I looked at a bunch of ASP.NET chart tools and I couldn't make a bit of sense out of any of them. The demos didn't work. The sample code didn't run. The explanations might as well have been in Greek...Then I stumbled on Dundas Chart for ASP.NET. The demos work, the sample code is clear and concise and the material included in the evaluation version actually explains how to use the product. Even a novice can get that "hello world" app, that is so important, up and running. Your tech support is also prompt and very helpful."

"I was particularly impressed with the depth of Dundas Chart. I enjoy the complete control that Dundas Chart gives, as I haven't yet been able to find features that I haven't been able to tweak. The Samples Framework is also extremely well done, as I wouldn't have known of many of the possible applications if they weren't contained in it for me to try out. Dundas obviously put a lot of thought and work into it"

"When we began evaluating charting engines to integrate with Reporting Services, we had a few key requirements. At the top of the list were high performance and scalability. Second, the charting engine had to produce high quality output and have a rich set of visualization features. Third, it had to be easily accessible from within managed code. Not only did Dundas Chart for .NET meet all of our requirements, we were able to very quickly integrate it into the Reporting Services report designer and report processing engine."

"I have been supremely pleased with Dundas Chart for ASP.NET. As a developer interested in building functionality into my web applications quickly, Dundas' drag-and-drop / wizard interface is a breeze to use. A wealth of properties can be read and set at design-time or run-time, making charts much more than just "bars and axes" on a screen! The vast number of sample solutions for Visual Studio.Net gives me insight into the best programming practices for using the charts, and the newly revamped help is by far the best help system I've seen in any third-party product. Finally, and probably most importantly, the Dundas personnel are first-rate, all the way from sales to technical support. I highly recommend Dundas Chart for ASP.NET to other .Net developers - you won't be sorry! "

"I was able to create an array of custom charting components based on the Dundas Chart for ASP.NET control in under a week! I was extremely impressed with the usability of the Chart’s object model, as it seemed that everything I needed was right there at my finger tips. I have used Dundas Software products since 1998 and with each new project I take on it seems there is always an obvious place for a Dundas technology within it. I can’t wait to see the next generation of productivity boosting innovations from Dundas."

It is very easy to setup the basic look and feel. Once I had the look of the charts I was happy with, the actual coding was very straightforward. The included samples and chart solutions answered any questions along the way and I was quickly able to get a prototype application in front of my clients. After a few tweaks and additions suggested, I had this application in production. Both the VB and ASPX applications were in production within five days of the initial client meeting. I do not think this would be possible with the other charting software I have evaluated in the past year."

"Our company recently did an evaluation on multiple charting packages. After about 10 minutes into the evaluation (literally) we choose Dundas. The integration with Microsoft was tremendous, but more importantly the charts themselves were the most professional that we’ve seen – stellar, in fact. After building a prototype internally using Dundas Charts we showed the prototype to Senior Management. They were so blown away that they reversed their decision to use the tool for internal purposes only and instead decided to roll out the application directly to clients. This would not have happened had we not had Dundas Charts. To this day, after 3 months of it being deployed, we still get compliments specifically on the charts themselves. Dundas Charts made all the difference in selling our application to Senior Management."
Keith Tuskey

"I was looking for a decent charting tool to plot financial data and the charts I used previously were just too limited and cumbersome and frankly, too ugly. I purchased Dundas Chart based upon the wealth of samples they provide, hoping I could get a basic chart up and running as quickly as possible. Normally, I expect a tool of such complexity to take a while to understand so I usually start off by “shoe-horning” a sample into my app and go from there. With Dundas Chart, that wasn’t necessary. With the use of their wizard and only a few lines of code I was able to create the chart I was looking for almost immediately. Tech support is excellent, usually coming through that same day. Better still, almost every session I discover a new, cool chart property that almost begs to find a place in my application."

"One of the clear advantages of Dundas Chart for .NET over any of the other vendors was Dundas’ native support for .NET. The technology compatibility was immediately a benefit for us as one of the other vendors claimed support but it was clearly a set of wrappers to enable their older technology and it wasn't as extensive as the Dundas charts. Once the engineering group embedded the Dundas technology in Portfolio Edge, our Professional Services group started using the Dundas charts in custom extensions of our other products, and recommending it to our customers. To top it all off, the appearance of the charts was much better than the other vendors, and we have control to tweak the chart appearance to match our product styles."

It allowed us to prototype quickly and easily with its well thought out, developer-friendly interface. Dundas Chart came with plenty of practical, easy to understand samples - essential for developers who aren't yet familiar with a product. It enabled our team to hit the development ground running. The technical support was excellent, professional but friendly, with a rapid response time - right from the start of the trial period. Overall Dundas Chart gave us a much-accelerated return on investment, which is essential in the competitive, commercial marketplace we do business in and we highly recommend it."

"Dundas Chart for .NET is an essential component of our Medi·Assist system. It brings the health monitoring and medical test results to ‘life’ and provides health professionals and people reviewing their health status on a day-to-day basis with a concise, visually appealing summary of their health management outcomes. We are delighted to have a charting system that is also constantly evolving with fresh ideas and designs – this in turn keeps our chart presentations at the leading edge and helps differentiate our product."

We were in need of an ASP.NET charting solution for a client that we could integrate with our application quickly and easily. After trying several competitive solutions, we found Dundas Chart For ASP.NET to be head and shoulders above the competition. The technical support is top-notch as well.

"The project went live this past weekend and everything went beautifully. The charts are just outstanding and the users love them. I wanted to say thanks again for all your help and that of your support staff. I don't think the charting requirements could have been fulfilled with any other tool as easily or robustly as they were with the Dundas chart."
Scott Hunley
Keane Consulting Inc
"Dundas Chart for .NET is clearly designed by programmers who know how to create a reusable component. Not only is your feature list extensive (it even has built-in interactive charting - something we've been wanting to implement for a while), but the features are easy to find and use. And your help is 10 times better. In fact, it took me only 3 hours to recreate a demo in Dundas Chart which originally took me more than 3 days using another charting vendor. In addition, the new demo had more features. I'm ordering licences for my entire team."

"Our experience with Dundas has been top-notch. The product exceeded our expectations: it is well designed, intuitive, easy to use and yet very powerful. When we need some really complex data presentation, with just a glance at the documentation we can dive at some great features."

"Of the controls that I discovered and tried, I found Dundas Chart for Windows Forms to be the easiest to install, most intuitive to use, produced the most aesthetically pleasing graphs, and had the most comprehensive help. With the help of their chart and data wizard, I had had my first graphing job completed in break-neck speed...I would have no hesitation in recommending Dundas Chart for Windows Forms to anyone who is looking for a charting solution. The control is a pleasure to work with and is clearly far superior to all of the competing products that I evaluated."

"After trying a few other products, we chose Dundas because of its ease of use, lots of examples, tutorials and seamless integration to the .NET framework and Visual Studio. The charting functionality in Dundas has always met every reporting requirement in our applications."

"The Dundas Chart control allowed us to display complex data in an ASP.NET web application using colorful charts which made the information easier to understand and more meaningful to the end user. The professional appearance just blew them away and left them with a great impression. Again, the presentation is the first thing the end user sees and having that “wow” factor of the charts really got them excited about the application. The charts were professional, colorful, and provided lots of functionality programmatically."
Ted Howard

“We had used an alternative product for a number of years, but we were constantly frustrated with the poor quality of the chart images and the lack of range in chart appearance options. The switch to Dundas reversed that dilemma in a big way. Our service offering is heavily dependant on high-quality graphical representations of numerical data. We’re literally betting our business on Dundas and I’m confident that this is a safe bet.”

"After evaluating many other charting products, I sincerely think yours is the best on the market due to it being fully managed code, having rich design-time capabilities, drill-through by data point for the graphs and much display flexibility."

"We needed something that was powerful enough to allow complete control over chart generation, could be used entirely in code (with no designers), was fast enough to generate charts on the fly, and included timely support for our tight deadline. Dundas Chart for ASP.NET excelled in all areas."

"I’ve got to say your gauge controls look nice! You’re the first company I’ve seen who seems to have given any thought to the aesthetics of the controls as well as functionality. I’m impressed."

"I was delighted to work with Dundas Software. Dundas pre and post sale support is world class. They are professionals who are responsive and technically talented. Dundas Chart for .NET is simple and easy to use. In a few days I was able to add meaningful data visualization to decision support web applications which excited our executive staff. Dundas clever use of image maps added a level of interactivity to web pages that exceeded user expectations. Our users love dynamic tool tips, which render data/information derived from a measure with almost zero additional 'programming' effort...Dundas Chart allowed me to deliver the best of intuitive graphics and numbers while cutting weeks from the development schedule."

"Our business was founded on the idea of creating sound financial advice for Americans who typically do not have access to independent financial advisors. What that meant to us was creating interactive financial plans that used pictures and illustrations in lieu of boring tables and long, unreadable text. That is where Dundas stepped in. Dundas Chart for ASP.NET allowed us to depict difficult information in simple, visually pleasing graphs that are easy for our customers to understand and act on. The Dundas Charts in our Goal BluePrint really stand off the page!"

"Castle Leisure Group have a relatively small IT / Development team, Dundas Chart for ASP.NET has helped us significantly in producing high quality solutions in a relatively short time frame. Before purchasing, we trialed several similar products, in the end I found Dundas Chart to be the easiest to work with and the easiest to install. I have no problem in recommending this product to anyone looking for a high-end charting solution"

"I have had the opportunity to evaluate several 3rd party applications but Dundas Chart for ASP.NET just stands above the crowd in my opinion. The quality of service before and after the sale has been outstanding, and the technical support team has been very helpful. Our application is doing well, and I look forward to working with Dundas support in the future"

“We have been extremely pleased with the support we have received on the Dundas Chart for Reporting Services product we bought. Every single question I have emailed to support has been answered within 24 hours - usually within just a few hours. This has been a great help as we created our dashboard for executives here at AFFLINK. Hopefully, we will be ready to look at Dundas Chart for .NET soon, as we get ready to move to the next phase of our dashboard.”

"Just wanted to tell you that the Engineering Tools Group here at L3-IS loves Dundas Chart for ASP.NET and the Ultra-fast support we received. We try and use Dundas Chart when ever we can for new projects coming down the pipe"
Chris Schuster

"I have been supremely pleased with Dundas Chart for ASP.NET. As a developer interested in building functionality into my web applications quickly, Dundas' drag-and-drop / wizard interface is a breeze to use. A wealth of properties can be read and set at design-time or run-time, making charts much more than just "bars and axes" on a screen! The vast number of sample solutions for Visual Studio.Net gives me insight into the best programming practices for using the charts, and the newly revamped help is by far the best help system I've seen in any third-party product. Finally, and probably most importantly, the Dundas personnel are first-rate, all the way from sales to technical support. I highly recommend Dundas Chart for ASP.NET to other .Net developers - you won't be sorry! "

All contact with customer services was also impeccably handled, its nice to know there are still companies out there willing to go the extra mile! "
