We re-did the whole user interface using Canoo's RIA technology in the five months that were remaining on the project.

Greg Hutchinson, Project Lead at Farm Credit Canada in an interview with Kathleen Richards

ULC definitely deserves consideration particularly for intranet and other non-consumer environments. [...] Choosing an RIA development strategy isn't getting any easier and the reality is that enterprises will probably wind up adopting two or more technologies to achieve their goals. And where Java and Swing are involved, Canoo's ULC has some huge benefits.

Mark Gibbs, Network World

This is the value proposition of Canoo—a cost-effective best-of-all-worlds approach that can give you rich GUI from pure Java code, managed by a commercial-grade presentation engine.

Laurence Moroney, DevX

"We wanted to add certain "fat-client" features like full-featured copy/paste in our grids, type-down searches, etc. that simply can't be done with HTML. Plus, we never really liked the round-tripping feel of servlets for use in a heavy-duty planning GUI. ULC came through for me very well and I was able to do every last thing with it I wanted to accomplish. It is also very stable. ULC has allowed us to have the best of both worlds. The IT folks will continue to love the server-side deployment and the planners will love the richer GUI. We are already seeing a big change in our prospecting and our existing customers are very excited about what we've been able to do with the product using ULC."

Eric Townson, Demand Works 

"We are impressed by the concept and high quality of UltraLightClient. We tested and evaluated the product extensively, and will use this Java library to build rich GUIs for our web applications. UltraLightClient will dramatically improve the end user experience, especially for our highly interactive, data intensive applications. Canoo offers a clear and simple pricing model, a mature and stable product based on standards, as well as excellent support."

Jon Shields, Chief Technology Officer, Navis LLC 

"For those suffering the JSP/JavaScript/HTML pain for interactive web apps, check out ULC, a rich client API for J2EE development that lets you program web apps as easily as regular swing apps. Much, much, much easier than doing the contortions of usual web development: all the machinery you used to need to make decent responsive, flexible apps just goes away."

Ray Blaak, Ensemble Systems 

"Based on ULC, we have built an application to process business cases for our Life Assurance division. From an architecture point of view, it is a framework that is able to incorporate various masks and workflow controls, implemented as Java classes. We are planning to add other business units later on. In particular, ULC's server-side programming helped to ease our project plans significantly"

C.J.Seitter, Muenchener Verein Versicherungsgruppe

"Our first experiences of using ULC in our development processes are very positive. We are really excited, how fast we are making progress."

M. Fritz, OTTO

"Using ULC for the development of Timeanchor saved us development time and gives us a competitive edge against our competitors by enabling us to offer a much richer application user experience. For highly interactive, data intensive applications (i.e. large tables or spreadsheets), ULC can not be beaten. It lowers development time, practically eliminates deployment issues and increases user experience. ULC allows us to offer a very responsive, rich GUI even over dial-up modem connections. ULC is our technology of choice when it comes to developing highly interactive web-based applications. ULC allows us to provide the user interface of a typical office application in a web application. This drastically increases user acceptance in intranet applications that implement complex workflows."

Carlo Germana, Innovatis Group AG

"ULC is definitely a step in the right direction, it is nice to see that someone is moving towards rapid development of rich clients for the J2EE environment."
