Essential Studio Erfahrungen

You can find always a control for all your needs and it's also easy to use.
With this software you can implement features in seconds, that otherwise would require a good amount of time.

There isn't much to say about cons, because there aren't cons really.

They provide fully functional components. That we can integrate in our application very easily and save our time.

Documentation is not up to date. Some times for simple issue I have to raise a query and wait for response because that thing is not present in documentation.

Our project is to build a commercial-grade, security-compliant, serverless mobile app platform using only tools that are budget-friendly for startups. Our tool-chain selection includes AWS services (API Gateway, Cognito, Lambda, DynamoDB, ...), Microsoft .NET Core/Standard, Visual Studio and Xamarin. All these tools are essentially free until your app starts scaling. Syncfusion's community edition was chosen because it provides commercial-grade features and doesn't burden the entrepreneur with out-of-pocket expenses until their app is generating revenue. Finally, our experience with Syncfusion's support has been first rate.

Syncfusion targets many different UI presentation layers. In our case, we use Xamarin Forms which is relatively new for Syncfusion. The controls are generally solid but do require more "code-behind" work than is generally recommended in the Xamarin community. There are shops that totally refuse to allow "any" code-behind and if you are one of those you may have some issues using all of the Syncfusion controls. In our case, the limited code-behind required is not considered a barrier. In addition, the Syncfusion documentation is obviously not written by a native English speaker and as such can be amusing at times and occasionally annoying .

the support team one of the best we work with them very fast.

take time to learn to use it's not straightforward. first two months you need contact to support a lot.but the support team one of the best we work with them very fast.

I am using the Win UI suite and Essential Studio really gives me what isn't available in the core product from Microsoft and the community.

Nothing really - its extremely straightforward to start using.

Its modules are very well-designed, fully-featured and well documented

I don't have any negative comments to make.

Ease of access, and fast implementation.

Everything was as expected will come back after some time has passed

Easy to use components that are very flexible

Some of the documentation is out of date

Good looking UI component library for ReactCustomization options available for my useResponsive support teamFairly simple development with given documentation and support

Priced too highdocumentation is not well organized and sometimes we need to look deeper

Good customer support, the tickets are answered very quickly

Documentation not updated regularly or needs more work

They provide a lot of demo and they have a great support.

Sometime some feature are taking long before being deploy with there version.

Easy to use, community license, great technical support.

There is no such thing as "like least".

I like the completeness and in depth features of all the controls that I use, especially the data grid control which I use extensively. The sample application and online documentation is clear and succinct.

I find that breaking down the examples by feature is great when compared to other control vendors I have seen, that simply provide a high level example and nothing to demonstrate each feature separately.

On the few occasions that I have requested support, I have always received an answer in a timely manner.

What makes the WPF suite good value is not just the number of feature rich controls, but the complete package including the documentation help and support that is available.

There are only two minor issues that I have with the suite of tools.

1. I get regular feedback from users that the date picker control is clunky to use. I can echo the feedback. Entering a date does not feel smooth, especially when entering the year. Hard to describe, but feel like it cycles back around to the year zero.

2. I would like it if I could customize the calendar control more. Would be great if I could easily template out the control for each date so I could use it to display what ever info I wanted in each date cell. Maybe there is a way to do this, but either way I have not been successful in being able to template out the calendar control for the requirements at the time.

It works, renders html correctly enough.

Non-platform independence for devops - requires package installation on deployment targets. Also requires manual setting of path to syncfusion binaries (that are in the nuget package!) at runtime.

Extra package e.g. Syncfusion.HtmlToPdf.Blink.Static.Linux could be created with a static compile to eliminate system dependencies and manage CVEs etc.

The code (which we have had to write ourselves) to locate the native binaries originating from the nuget package should be inside the syncfusion lib - there should be no argument to their path.

Also, while it might bloat the package, nuget supports separate native binaries per runtime [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] which would enable to create a single platform-independant nuget package - this would really lower the difficulty - especially in places like dotnet-script where you have no csproj to change the PackageReferences depending on the runtime!

I like having the large number of components in the bundle as it reduces the number of third party components I need to complete my projects. I also like how rapidly SyncFusion rolls out updates to their products and the quality and speed of response of their technical support.

I am not sure if this is SyncFusion Blazor specific or something inherent with Blazor itself, but the lack of Support for GUID in their dropdown list and other things like their event callbacks require that I change my GUIDs to string types in my models and then have to map them back to GUIDs for CRUD to the backend. Also, I really wish they had a good Step / Wizard component. I currently have to use Radzen's Step component for my WIzards and there are often CSS conflicts between Radzen and SyncFusion. If they do not add one, I will most likely have to create my own custom Step (Wizard) component before the project is finished.

This products solves almost all our needs along with the standard ui and productivity components on the platforms that we deliver solutions on. We are almost entirely an angular/typescript, asp.net core and Xamarin shop.

Sometimes the documentation and examples leave something to be desired but the very quick and responsive customer support more than compensates for that.

I very much liked the built in functionality with a majority of the Controls it includes. In areas where functionality was not available, but needed for development, it was easy to incorporate custom functionality into the controls through control events, and via JS if needed.

I feel some additional Demos or documentation is needed for some controls and their functions/features. I found myself in a few spots where I needed to do something, and based on reading the documentation I'm lead to believe it can be done, but no indication as to how. This results me in heading to user submitted questions looking for answers, and those tend to be very relevant to the Users needs. Of course this all isn't helpful with examples, but ultimately it could be called pet peeves as its functionality that not overly important but nice to haves.

Essential Studio has a huge library of components, many of them unique or not very common in the market. The customer support is great and always helping solve our issues.

The documentation has to improve because would allow the developers to find issues faster without asking to customer support. I thing that just making every customer support ticket public unless expressly asked by the customer would add a lot of Q & A besides improving the documentation.

the uniformity of all libraries, competence and reality relevance of the libraries, code examples and templates....

announcements of new modules (and in 1 or 2 cases taking back of new releases) could be better announced and longer in advance.....

It is easy to implement and good support

Not easy to what you are looking for in documentation

The span of features is impressive, and when operated out-of-the-box everything "works". Once past the licensing issues, it is easy to use within an application for normal, simple features and feature set combinations.

The documentation detailed how to implement several features for the Grid control. However, using the features resulted in unstable and inconsistent behavior in the UI. Working directly with support/development programmers from Syncfusion, found that there were several issues with timing within the control code and how to access the control API that were not documented. The result from the developer sessions was more complicated and very dissimilar to the published documentation for these features, but it finally started to work consistently.

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 .

Other than issues transitioning code from Telerik to Syncfusion, I haven't found any cons for using SyncFusion.

Great product and if you ever need any assistance their support is awesome.

We *do* occasionally run across bugs or broken features

Great values of Support, always easily get help from Syncfusion, it is very important reason as developer I like Syncfusion.
Syncfusion has a lot of solutions that are very match with our requirements.

still has some bugs for some new products.

I researched all the various options before choosing SyncFusion. I was impressed by the breadth and depth of features it provides. Now that I am using it I continue to be impressed. I have also been pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness and level of help that I have received from the customer support staff.

A product this powerful and supporting a wide variety of development scenarios certainly has complexity. The API documentation is sparse at times probably because there are so many APIs to document. However, I am hopeful they will fill that out before long. I am using it with Blazor which is a new platform so am used to things not being documented well yet. Sometimes the customer support responses are not real helpful but they do seem to be trying and when I ask again for more detail they are willing to try again. I am sure they have many questions to answer with many using this and it being so large.
