DataTables vs AG Grid
Developers should use DataTables when they need to display tabular data with interactive features in web applications, such as dashboards, admin panels, or data-heavy interfaces meets developers should use ag grid when building data-intensive web applications that require robust, customizable, and fast-rendering data grids, such as dashboards, financial platforms, or enterprise software. Here's our take.
DataTables

- +It is particularly useful for handling large datasets efficiently, as it supports server-side processing to reduce client-side load
- +Related to: jquery, javascript
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
AG Grid
Developers should use AG Grid when building data-intensive web applications that require robust, customizable, and fast-rendering data grids, such as dashboards, financial platforms, or enterprise software
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for handling complex data operations like server-side row models, infinite scrolling, and real-time updates, making it ideal for scenarios where performance with large datasets is critical
- +Related to: javascript, react
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use DataTables if: You want it is particularly useful for handling large datasets efficiently, as it supports server-side processing to reduce client-side load and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use AG Grid if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for handling complex data operations like server-side row models, infinite scrolling, and real-time updates, making it ideal for scenarios where performance with large datasets is critical over what DataTables offers.
