4,4 /5 (219 reviews) Write a Review!
Complete, robust, fully functional web UI
Pros
The Syncfusion Grid component is as good or better than any other on the market. It has every feature you could want: paging, sorting, filtering, sizing and reordering columns, exporting to PDF, CSV, or Excel. And they have just about every other rich web component you think of: Calendar, sortable list, embedded rich text/HTML editor, charts, maps, you name it. And best of all, their free community license includes ASP.Net MVC so you can develop rich MVC web UI applications. And also includes Xam
Cons
Although they have extensive documentation, they so many components that do so many things, that not every feature has specific programming examples, so you sometimes have to figure things out through trail and error. And although the MVC components all have tons of methods and parameters you sometimes have to write JavaScript to make it work the way you want. So you need to be a strong programmer.
Great tools with great feature and make us save time.
Me and My team we appreciate this tool because it really help to bring our new software to another level. With all the documentations and the demos this help me and my team to go quickly thru the learning curves.
Pros
They provide a lot of demo and they have a great support.
Cons
Sometime some feature are taking long before being deploy with there version.
Syncfusion is the best
Pros
Easy to use, community license, great technical support.
Cons
There is no such thing as "like least".
Great components outstanding support
I'm using both the WPF components and the Web components, both on ASP.Net MVC and .Net Core, The use of these components reduces dramatically the development time and they have a great support for tasks as exporting to excel, word, html, and importing from external source, they have great PDF management and Visualization components and Great components to manage Word and Excel documents.
Pros
The good documentation, many samples, easy to apply on our software, but most of all the outstanding support from the company that supplies a sample to solve a problem or any How To question. Is very attentive when a possible bug is pointed out and if it is a bug a fix is provided in a scheduled time.
Cons
the only thing I don't like much is that upgrading the desktop projects when I upgrade the libraries is a time consuming task. But I don't think there is a way to avoid this.
Fantastic Support & Functionality
Pros
We use 10+ different Syncfusion controls from Essential Studio for Xamarin and they quite literally have become an Essential part of our mobile product. They allow us to provide a UI with much greater polish and depth of functionality than the stock Xamarin Forms components while maintaining all of the cross-platform benefits between iOS and Android. And the Syncfusion support has been stellar. They have gone above and beyond on multiple occasions to help us track down obscure issues, some of which ended-up being our fault. Very highly recommended!
Cons
Event handling in some of the components can be challenging to work with, and some of the components have some annoying quirks, but these are minor quibbles overall. The written documentation can be difficult to read in places, but at least they do have extensive documentation.
Why SyncFusion?
Pros
I have been using Telerik's controls for almost 10 years now before being introduced to SyncFusion.
I would have to say that the Community License is the greatest reason for me to switch from Telerik.
Currently I am working on Angular projects and I have only used SyncFusion's Angular controls but I have found that the controls are equal to or greater in quality to the Telerik controls.
The grid in particular is much easier to use and develop with; it has been a challenging learning curve to transition from the Telerik grid control only because I have had to map actions and events from one to the other.
I think if I did not have such a long history with the Telerik controls, I wouldn't have any issues in learning to use the SyncFusion controls. I found this to be true when working with controls I had not used before .
Cons
Other than issues transitioning code from Telerik to Syncfusion, I haven't found any cons for using SyncFusion.
A Fantastic Feature Filled Product
Pros
This software is feature rich and can be easily incorporated into most software solutions for a rich user experience. This software is also of a high standard and works well.
Cons
I do find that whilst using the Vue.JS implementation of this product that the Vue implementation is not very 'Vue like' so to say. Unless you use the product exactly as it is designed ie for instance hooking the grid say to a backend service as it expects it can be a bit 'hacky' to get it going as you need it. In my case I had a very specific service that expects a JWT token and specific parameters so I found it easier to call that myself separately using Vuex (which if you hook the grid directly to the service itself, it does not interact with at all - hence why it is not so 'Vue like'). Anyway I got it working with specific methods and functions of the products API but I did not find it so easy at first to know how to do this as the documentation is all geared around using the products in the way they want you to use them.
best choice for B-Soft
my experience with syncfusion is the best, I have an excellent support, I never had something thus.
Each quarter I read the roadmap and I'm waiting new features. They suprise me always.
Pros
Syncfusion is really easy to use, It was integrated in existenting code and I will use for new projects. I like it because I' m going to use React js
Cons
difficult question, really I like it so much. I just would like to integrate with GraphQL easier.
Great software with great support = winner
Awesome, product is worth it 100%
Pros
It has an entry point for any licence requirement
A broad of components in many different technologies
Awesome support: Forum + Direct Issues + issue tracking
Constantly updating the product and documentation with improvements and fixes.
Any support response usually gets a demo working code to demonstrate the workaround, fix or whatever you asked
Cons
Due the huge technologies and components sometimes documentation and demos can get out to date.
Fortunately they have an incredible support team that answer your question very quick
Great product
The products are relatively easier to use. The help document quite comprehensive. The support forum is also quite helpful. The release cycle relatively fast. The best part is the excellent customer support for fixing the defects and incorporating them in the patch/next release.
Pros
It would be the various components that could be used in a component.
Cons
The loading time could be improved. And I'm not sure whether it is possible but it would be much better if the visual tree for the WPF component could be shallower thus easier to do automated UI related tests.
Best Component Library
We use syncfusion to replace about a dozen open source components. Static code scanning and Syncfusion's response to code scan issues are exceptional.
Pros
Comprehensive component library. Great starter tool. Responsive technical support.
Cons
No obvious deficiencies. Update pace is very aggressive.
Amazing option for startups and freelancers
- We used to work on Microsoft development technologies using VS and for this domain Essential Studio is amazing option to save a huge amount of time and effort creating a high quality UX for our clients.
Pros
- controls for almost everything
- very high quality components
- easy to use
- well documented
- amazing support team
Cons
- Xamarin controls need to be more stable. However, any issue reported was handled quick and fixed.
I highly recommend Syncfusion Essential Studio
Pros
I've used both the Xamarin Forms and ASP.NET Core variants of Essential Studio. In both cases, I found the software to be solid, with a really nice feature set, and in general easy to implement. I think the best part of Syncfusion, though, is their incredible technical support, which in my experience is unmatched in the component industry in terms of their helpfulness, responsiveness, and speed.
Cons
I find the documentation lacking in terms of its completeness, and also the dearth of meaningful sample programs.
review CNAO
Pros
the extent of the controls available the ease to incorporate them in our development environment
Cons
the functionalities of the controls aresometimes limited.the behaviour is sometimes unpredictable
Great library and control stack
We use WPF, Angular JS and angular controls from syncfusion. We felt confident in the controls usability and ease of integration and quality of the technical support team has been great. The control help us build better products to support out company needs.
Pros
A wide variety of controls, well documented and supported. Excellent code samples and support is quick to respond to custom features and sample code.
Cons
We had few issues with feature parity from migrating from Angular JS to Angular but the team is quick to give alternative ideas with sample code.
Allowed us to implement powerful tools into our product with ease
Essential Studio provided us with the necessary tools that were required for us to seamlessly deliver powerful features to our clients. Whenever we needed support, we received prompt assistance with actual resolutions.
Pros
The supporting documentation is easy to follow and assisted with every requirement that we had for our product.
Cons
We have yet to experience any cons with using this product.
Very satisfied
You can get professionally designed and implemented controls in a fraction of time than to design and implement by yourself.
Pros
Very nice help, documentation and suport. Controls fit a lot practical scenarios.
Cons
When problems or limitations arise, in most cases I can found alternative or well written documentation.
Program with many tools, easy to use and with good customer service
Pros
- Many tools (program controls, excel, pdf...)
- Easy to use whith a lot of examples and forums
- Good and fast customer service.
- Good updates
Cons
I have nothing bad to say about the program
You're doing a good job with Blazor but you could use some improvement
It seems like so much is happening so fast with your Blazor product that more often than I'd like things get past QA without being bug free. It makes me very hesitant to upgrade to the latest version for fear that something which used to work now doesn't (unit testing UI components is very hard). As a result, we often spend a lot of time trying to decide if we want to upgrade for a new feature, or stay with an older version because it has fewer potential bugs.
Pros
Your Blazor tools are the most full-featured, complete product available
Cons
Things are changing so fast that a lot of your documentation hasn't kept current with the latest changes, which sometimes makes it hard to implement some of the newest features. It also makes it difficult because if we find a thread on the community forum, often its outdated because the product itself has changed recently.
vert good library
Pros
we use theese library for word document generation and it works very well
Cons
little example code, sometime is difficult understand the correct way to use it
Syncfusion is Awesome!
Pros
Comprehensive selection of Components across many different platforms
Comprehensive Collection of documentation and tutorials
Easy to setup
Really great support
Cons
When it comes to some advanced charts, I found it difficult to get the look and feel I wanted even though I was sure it was possible with the Syncfusion Circular Gauge Component for Ionic (bright side I got it done with help from Syncfusion Support)
The best Component Suite out there
Health care full stack development.
Pros
How quickly support for Blazor, Xamarin Forms and Angular and the depth of the support for these platforms.
Cons
Can't think of anything. The suite is very easy to use and full featured.
Product review
its good going..
Pros
Features and functionality, vast variety of charts and UI components
Cons
1. Multiple time feedback link and email.
2. Support and documentation. I mean almost every document is more or less missing some of the code/documentation/module/component
Excellent product
Pros
We are mainly using document editor from syncfusion. It's an excellent product. It's better than many other product in market in terms of accuracy document editor maintain the formatting of work document perfectly. It's almost identical to MS WORD. It's also very easy to integrate in our existing product. Also support staff is excellent they responded to my queries correctly and accuratly.
Cons
Though document editor identical to MS Word it do not provide support of all MS word features. Also syncfusion do not have support for AngularJS (version 1.*). Our product is on angularjs version 1.7 so we have to use their javascript library. Having angularjs library would have been better feet for us.
Blazor Grid and Razor Grid
It's working well for us and I really like their support.
Pros
It has most of the features that are needed in web Grid but I really like their support.
Cons
Blazor gird is not matured yet with the Expando data source (Dynamics )
Overall it's a great product. It does everything Telerik Kendo does but is cheaper and therefore a better value.
