Essential Studio

Avantages

beaucoup de demo, belle documentation, beaucoup de composants utiles, communauté importante et support 5 étoiles

Inconvénients

malgré la documentation déjà énorme, il y manque quelques informations que vous trouverez dans les forums ou par le support. il est parfois difficile d'obtenir exactement le comportement voulu, mais avec quelques efforts on y arrive toujours.

Avantages

Honnêtement, j'ai été très surpris de constater que ce logiciel peut créer des applications. Il m'a vraiment faciliter la tâche concernant mes projets.

Inconvénients

A vrai dire ce Logiciel m'a beaucoup aidé, il est vraiment très pratique.

Avantages

Ce logiciel est vraiment génial et m'aide beaucoup à la créativité de d'autre application que je n'ai jamais découvrir.C'est vraiment chouette.

Inconvénients

Je n'y trouve aucun inconvénient, C'est un meilleur logiciel et me donne la faveur de créer d'autre application inconnu.

Avantages

La meilleure intégration ajax et js sur des produits Asp.
Les controls permettent de créer des applications modernes facilement.
Les webforms prennent un coup de neuf.

Le support est très réactif, et n'hésite pas à jeter un œil au code à problème.

Inconvénients

La commerciale pas très professionnelle ne m'a pas recontactée comme convenue, il a fallu que je contact le tchat direct sur le site.

Avantages

Syncfusion Essential Studio has been a great addition to our development toolkit. It offers a comprehensive range of UI components, which has significantly reduced our development time for .NET and JavaScript-based projects. The quality of controls like data grids, charts, and reports is impressive, making it easier to build professional-grade applications. The community license is a bonus, providing access to high-quality tools at a reasonable cost.

Inconvénients

The extensive selection of components can be a bit overwhelming initially, especially for new developers exploring the library. While the documentation is thorough, having more real-world examples would help accelerate the learning curve. The support team is responsive, which helps to overcome these challenges, but there’s still room for improvement in the availability of practical guides.

Avantages

I've been using the Syncfusion MAUI controls for an app I've been building for three years. In addition to the great functionality (which you can read about on the website), the support has been amazing - they get back, often within 24h, with either an answer, or a bug fix that is usually released within a week or two (patch provided in the meantime). In particular from my perspective, they offer a free Community Version for businesses under $1m in revenue, seemingly with the same/similar support levels as paid versions.

Inconvénients

Not a lot. There are quite a few code changes between the Xaml and MAUI versions, but mostly these are for a good reason, well documented and just requires care and attention in making the relevant updates.

Avantages

It seemed initially like a good price/value tradeoff, but see below.

Inconvénients

We are only interested in generating Office documents. After we started using their products and were committed (e.g. cost of switching away was high) they jacked up the price of what we were using by 3x.

Also our primary use case is generating PPTX files and, unlike their PDX/XLSX file format libraries, which work well, the PPTX library is full of feature gaps and strange edge case.

Avantages

Helpful examples help speed up how to use a new feature

Inconvénients

I need to wait a while to let a new release "settle down"

Avantages

As a long-time user of Syncfusion (since .NET 1.1 about 20 years ago), the consistency and availability of the platform has been key in delivering equipment in the mining industry. I've seen many tech stacks come and go in that time, and I've been able to operate essentially the same code-base the entire time, upgrading the .NET versions and the Syncfusion libraries with virtually no breaking changes. I've used Syncfusion in various side projects with WPF, UWP, etc and others in our company have used the React.js components, the commonality between the platforms helps reduce the learning curve when changing platforms.

Inconvénients

The licensing structure. I started as a single developer in a very small company with the product and it was very cost effective. When we sold to a larger company, I continued with the single seat until we added other devs and eventually had a global license (which is definitely cost effective for a team). Since we had a corporate restructuring, that global license is now back to basically a single dev license which we pay the same price as the previous global license. Their latest license structure is cost-prohibitive for a single developer seat. There are a few components I find

Avantages

The suite of tools is extensive and well documented. If there is something you are trying to do the chances are that Syncfusion has a tool for that as well as ample examples of how to use it.

Inconvénients

Some of the controls have some quirks, but even when a tool has a bug Syncfusion is quick to correct the issue once demonstrated.

Avantages

I really enjoy using Essential Studio because it allows me to focus more on backend development while providing ready-to-use frontend components. The learning curve for using the components is minimal, and the comprehensive documentation makes it easy to get started. Additionally, the components are regularly updated to stay in line with evolving .NET versions, which I find highly beneficial. I also appreciate the license granted, which further enhances the experience.

Inconvénients

So far, the Syncfusion collapsible sidebar doesn't seem to work in Blazor WebAssembly Core.In fact l have never managed to make even the basic sidebar to work. Despite trying multiple times, the provided samples did not work in my scenario. I would really like to use the sidebar in my projects if the issue I'm facing can be resolved.

Avantages

The package includes all the components that we would use for all of our products.

Inconvénients

I do not like the installed product explorer; my preference is to use the website.

Avantages

The possibility to start with the community edition when you are starting as a developer and need professional tools.
The fact that each of the huge possible frameworks in the .net universe have a lot of controls and in all technologies you can expect the same features and 99 times on 100 you have them or if something is not there it will be in the near future
An outstanding customer service that helps both with How To questions and with real problems and never fails to fix a bug if you find one.

Inconvénients

In Essential Studio, for my use of the components there is really nothing I dislike.

Avantages

Tools are fairly intuitive.
The Syncfusion team is very responsive on helping with features and behavior that are more complex, and are open to bringing feature updates online in a timely manner. When behaviors in tools are unexpected and considered bugs, they get fixed quickly.

Inconvénients

I could not find diagrams in terms of the event stack for components. It would be very helpful if the event stack were diagrammed in the documentation. The Chart events take some getting used to. The ChartClick event is always executed (even when the Legend is clicked), which is OK, but it is not clear on when that event happens without trial/error. In example: the ChartClick is executed before OnAxisLabelClick, but after the OnEndZoom, unless you click the Pan option. It can be confusion.
It would be a nice to see that stack visually. (maybe I just havent found it yet?)

Avantages

It is a very powerful component suite. I'm using the Blazor components for a new application, here I learned also Blazor and web programming from scratch and I was successful.
I'm also using the "Community License" that I could obtain for free!

Inconvénients

Sometimes the behavior of the components is not clear and the debugging is not easy. I would like to have the component source code in order to see what's inside the components and execute step by step, but I know that I cannot pretend them with the free "Community License" :-).
I found also some bugs (that were fixed by the support team after I report them) and the source code could be helpful...

Avantages

Quality, flexibility and responsivenese from Syncfusion, the developer

Inconvénients

From all of our many, many needs just one time Syncfusion did not have the solution within their component portfolio. They are amazing

Avantages

The sheer level of component coverage provided by the suite. The excellent documentation is backed by outstanding support.

Inconvénients

Not much to dislike. Syncfusion provides good product backed by good support and good documentation.

Avantages

What I liked most about **Essential Studio** is its wide range of high-performance, customizable components, which make development faster and more efficient. The excellent documentation and cross-platform support are also major pluses.

Inconvénients

The one downside of **Essential Studio** is that some components can have a steep learning curve due to their complexity. Additionally, integrating certain features may require more time and effort compared to simpler libraries.

Avantages

This is one of .NET tool I ma using more that 10 year. With .NET platform upgrade , this tool have upgraded have us back to back perfect support and makes development team deliveries easy.

Inconvénients

It's XL , PFD manage module is very good; give us huge help in our projects

Avantages

the most comprehensive framework on the market, which comes with superlative support.
you can develop any kind of application focusing only on business logic using ready-made and highly customizable components.

Inconvénients

The awesome support, essential for not stopping your work. Sometimes in the framework you may find some bugs, which promptly the support solves within a short time. Also if you have any problem on using the framework with a ticket request you solve

Avantages

The Essential Studio is a full featured complex package. It would really hard to name something that I cannot do with it.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it can be challenging to understand how to correctly link client code to server code. But no problem, Syncfusion support is always here to help. I love them :)

Avantages

The ease of downloading and installing, the developer documentation, and customer support are fantastic. The product helped me to accomplish a specific business need in one of the companies I previously worked for. The controls are nice, and the account section of Syncfusion's customer website is really easy to use when downloading the software and obtaining unlock codes and licence keys.

Inconvénients

There's nothing to dislike. If you are a sole developer or a small company below the financial threshold, you can obtain a community license. Above that threshold, you pay the expected price. It is easy to install and maintain. There is a version upgrade tool that works well on your projects when a new version of Essential Studio. So, really, what's to dislike?

Avantages

Frequent updates and service towards fixing any reported issues

Inconvénients

Not much really - it works well. Sometimes there are bugs on a new release - testing could be improved before release of an update

Avantages

Essential Studio offers a comprehensive suite of development tools that cater to a wide range of needs. Its vast collection of UI components and controls makes it incredibly versatile for developing both web and desktop applications. The documentation is extensive and well-organized, helping to ease the learning curve for new users. Additionally, the customer support is responsive and helpful, providing timely assistance and solutions to any issues that arise. The integration with popular frameworks and platforms is seamless, ensuring that Essential Studio fits well into existing development workflows. The performance of the components is impressive, maintaining efficiency even with complex data and functionalities.

Inconvénients

While Essential Studio is highly functional, there are a few areas that could be improved. The initial setup and configuration can be time-consuming and somewhat complex, particularly for beginners. Some components, although powerful, lack intuitive design and can be difficult to customize without extensive tweaking. Additionally, updates and new releases occasionally introduce bugs that affect existing projects, requiring quick patches or workarounds. The licensing costs can be relatively high, especially for small teams or individual developers. Lastly, while the documentation is comprehensive, certain advanced features and use cases could benefit from more detailed examples and clearer explanations.

Avantages

The support team is quite good. Its easy to get started with it.

Inconvénients

I only use the Blazor components. It feels like little more than a generic components library. The charting library is very limited and buggy, specially tooltips.
