RAD studio best development IDE if you want productive people.
What do you like best?
We use Delphi because it is extremely productive. As a language Delphi doesn't have the complexity of C++ or the performance issues of Java.
What do you dislike?
I have yet to find anything that I dislike about RAD Studio. We use both the C++ environment and Delphi. Definitely prefer Delphi over C++.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The RAD Studio product is rock solid. We have been using 10.4 since released a few months ago with no issues in our very intense applications. We are a startup company, our first product nearly two years ago was RAD Studio. After leaving Fiserv (Financial Services Company) using 2013 Developer Studio for over four years, RAD Studio is a big improvement.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We are creating decision making applications using machine and artificial intelligence. We have a proprietary Vector State Machine that uses a patented technology that Delphi implements with ease compared to the C++ version and there is no way to do the same implementation in Java. We are working with the Department of Defense, Insurance Companies, and Energy Companies. DoD requires C++ otherwise we would be strictly Delphi.
