Essential Studio Reviews

The controls are powerful and easy to use. The support for them is phenomenal!

They are a pleasure to work with and because we are a small company they have been instrumental in our ability to deliver several important products.

Relatively easy to use and does what it promises.

Some combo box behavior is undesirable.
As a C# developer, I found the charts worked better for me in WPF than in Blazor

Excellent reaction and solving of issues

Size of library dlls for tiny delivary packages

Easy to use. Especially the Theme generator is very helpful to quickly create a professional looking solution.

I havn't found anything critical until now.

Great blazor controls, easy to get setup and awesome tech support.

I can't think of anything at this point.

lightness of the controls when implemented on a solution. user experience

none that I can think of. none that I can think of.

Elements that are easy to use. Nice documentation

variety of system where it can be applied

Feature rich components, ease of integration and use.

Performance can be better and fluidity of the component should be smooth.

Programming time saving. Well documented.

Commercial Plans. It should be a Plan for Independent Software Developer

I believe Syncfusion was the first company to offer a version that could be used until the company made $1 million. Most companies never reached that mark. Syncfusion provides new companies with the same support received by large corporations. Syncfusion has not yet received a dime, and I will happily pay whatever the cost is when the product starts generating income. Also, I have seen third-party tool kits come and go. Syncfusion is here for the “long haul”.

For me, the thing that sets Syncfusion apart from any other company is the support. I can honestly say that I have received the best I have ever experienced. My earliest experiences with support were because of my lack of C# knowledge. At the beginning of the project, I had experience with every major language except C#. But having the Windows, backend, and mobile apps written in different languages added a complexity that made it unbearable to work with. C# (and .net) was available through all the required. Some of my initial support requests were because I misunderstood the C# language concerning the tools.

However, I was using some tools in a way they weren’t meant to be used. I also did this with AWS and AWS support (which I paid for) argued that no one would do what I was doing and they won’t support it. I had to show them their documentation which proved what I was doing should work. They did fix it. Syncfusion support just requested a code sample and saw that although I was doing it something unconventional, it should work. And they fixed the code ! They fix the code for me in two or three different places. They even provided me custom patched code before an actual tested release.

I have not experienced any cons. All support expectations were met. Development continues etc.

Syncfusion Essential Studio offers us a suite of software components that streamlines the development process for our ASP.NET Core and Blazor applications.

It has an array of components tailored specifically for ASP.NET Core and Blazor such as data grids, charts, forms, or UI controls etc. It provides a comprehensive library that covers virtually every possible requirement for modern web applications. This selection allows for a high degree of flexibility and creativity in our application development.

The update process can sometimes introduce breaking changes, particularly with Blazor components.

We have encountered instances where frequent updates for Blazor have led to compatibility issues, requiring additional time and effort to resolve.

Flexibility, the product is created with the extend functionality in mind.

Everything is good and if I find something wrong, the support is really impresive.

It offers flexible solutions for majority of programming issues.

After upgrades, there are a few minor bugs.

The product is great but it is the support that differentiates them from the competition. Excellent support and very thorough examples to help you achieve the desired result.

The documentation could be a little better but definitely not a deal breaker.

It has everything a developer needs, regardless of the development environment or framework used. It has components for web, mobile, etc. development.

It is somewhat complicated to configure globalization in Angular components.

Provides a comprehensive set of UI components for ASP.NET, Blazor and WPF. The documentation is pretty good with plenty of useful samples. They have an excellent free community tier available to small businesses, which even includes support - unprecedented. Support are very responsive and fix issues quickly (weekly releases).

I've encountered a couple of rudimentary bugs with a couple of components (though these have been fixed quickly once reported). Some of the naming conventions could be more consistent and have stronger type bindings to aid Intellisense (particularly for event callbacks for example). Documentation is sometimes spread across a couple of places (docs, kb articles and samples).

cost friendly for start-ups, indie developer and small business.

have versatile components, developers don't need to reinvent their own wheels.

subscription is inflexible, annual subscription only.

Rich set of features
Most features you require are already available
Good help documentation with examples

Support and feature enhancements are slow
New platforms like MAUI take a long time to reach the maturity of other controls

The best suite of controls that I have used for Xamarin and MAUI, integrated and with excellent support that has been solving the issues that I have encountered in these years that I have used it. Easy to implement.

The most complicated part is the recent change in the licensing fee since I am only interested in the mobile part (Xamarin and MAUI), the prices were raised too much to integrate everything into a single suite.
