The best thing about Angular Material is how it accelerates development while ensuring design consistency across an application. It offers a wide collection of pre-built, accessible, and responsive UI components that follow Google’s Material Design principles. Features like theming, typography, and layout utilities make it easy to maintain a professional look and feel throughout the app. I also appreciate how deeply it integrates with Angular — for example, reactive form controls with built-in validation states, or table components with sorting, pagination, and filtering out of the box. Overall, Angular Material significantly reduces design overhead, enforces good UX patterns, and lets me focus more on business logic than styling from scratch.

While Angular Material provides consistency and accelerates UI development, there are a few challenges:

Customization/Theming – Overriding default Material styles often requires digging into SCSS mixins or dealing with deep selectors, which can be frustrating if you need a highly custom look.

Bundle Size – Importing multiple Angular Material modules can add noticeable weight to the application, making it less ideal for very lightweight or performance-critical apps.

Learning Curve – Understanding the theming system, typography configuration, and layout utilities takes time, especially for new developers.

Opinionated Design – It strictly follows Google’s Material Design; if your product needs a different design system, adapting Angular Material can feel restrictive.

That said, these are trade-offs: you gain consistency and accessibility at the cost of flexibility and size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
