The best thing about datatable is that it has got everything required and there are no bugs in this. All functions work without giving a single glitch. It is compatible with most browsers and also available as a free package. I have used this before but now i think its best time to use it after seeing its performance in recent times. Not very good interface or user friendly. If you want simple data viewer then go for other package where you will get better user experience. Before i was using some html tables only to display my data. Datatable helped me to solve that issue as it comes with a lot of options of sorting and filtering to make it perfect. I like the way the table can be filtered by various columns. I also like that the table can be sorted by various columns. I dislike that the table does not have a search bar. Datatables is the easiest to use table plugin I have used. It makes it easy to filter and sort by various columns. It also allows for a table to be created quickly. Datatables is also very customizable.
