For what it offers, I think this solution is a must for any Delphi programmer. My decision to use UniDac years back was made after a lot of research. It is a lot simpler to use than FireDac. It is cheap to purchase. For what it offers a software company, I believe that it is the best choice. I have looked at so many similar database component sets and after many tests I ended up with UniDac. The component sets I choose are not selected lightly. Not only is the performance/stability and code quality extremely important but so is the company behind them. In my view, there is no point creating any application based on components that are part of a long term strategy where the component vendor creating them is unstable or unreliable (of which there is many), that would be a real mistake.
