Honest testimonial from

those who considered yFiles

Learn directly from our customers the main reasons why they prefer JointJS.

The choice of diagramming solution was not easy, we evaluated 15 products and all had Pro's / Con's. When we finally got it down to two options (yFiles and JointJS+) we felt that the mix: using SVG, being open source with great sample code, a solid community with partners we could augment our team with and professional support from the JointJS team meant we were only left with one obvious choice.

So we chose JointJS+ and opted to work with their custom development partner who we were introduced to and were able to get a solution to our immediate need live in 5 weeks, while leaving ourselves with a long term strategic solution.
