I like the ease of use of Essential Studio and how well it connects with Word. It is essential for integrating with my contract platform, allowing the staff to transfer the Word contract directly into my application. It performs this transfer very well, without losing any formatting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a suite of WinForms tools that extends the standard UI components provided by Microsoft. I also use the Metro WinForms theme in my solutions, and find the PDF, PDFViewer, DocToPDF and XlsIO solve all of my requirements for PDF document and .XLS file handling.

I can't think of anything at the moment that I dislike. All of my issues in the past have been addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the great RTE and Diagramming tool set in Syncfusion Essential Studio®. It enables me to use my plain vanilla JS/CSS/HTML skills to create workflows for various needs without worrying about toolsets. The excellent documentation with fully working examples is by far the most important feature as it’s the best way to learn any new toolset. I start from working examples and then extend them to meet my specific needs. Additionally, using a CDN makes the initial setup relatively simple. Compared to JQWidgets, the Syncfusion ES tools are just much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't use any frameworks, just plain JS and CSS, so sometimes it is more difficult to translate specific issues. The install examples can be confusing. I just use the CDN, but I'd like to know how to get the libraries and dependencies as a simple JS and CSS file to host locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the support for multiple frameworks and the overall sophistication of the tools. They create a flexible development experience, and they’re engaging for customers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a couple of tools that we still use from a competitor that are missing. I would love to see them add them in a future release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a startup building a SaaS platform, Syncfusion has been a huge accelerator for us. The Blazor components are robust, well-designed, and production-ready. What stands out the most is the balance between flexibility and structure: we get enterprise-grade UI components without feeling locked in or fighting the framework.

I’ve worked with several component libraries over the years, and there’s always a trade-off — you gain speed but lose flexibility, or you spend a lot of time adapting things to your architecture. With Syncfusion, the integration cost and customization effort have been significantly lower than anything else I’ve used. It simply works, and it works reliably.

Like any comprehensive UI suite, there is an initial learning curve due to the breadth of components and configuration options. In more advanced scenarios, some customization still requires digging into documentation and examples.

That said, compared to other libraries I’ve used, the trade-offs are minimal and very manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Essential Studio can be applied in a controlled environment. The applications I generate are easy to use and the design is very pleasant to look at. Graphically, it is pleasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ribbon needs to improve because it does not load completely. During the design, the option to add tabs, buttons, and other elements is lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the most helpful about Essential Studio is the amount of widgets it has available that has fulfilled my needs.

The upsides of using Essential Studio is that I've been able to develop a solution in less time. It has saved me a lot of time while designing a form (as an example). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful about Essential Studio or downsides of using Essential Studio at least in the past was the documentation, but as of today, I see that SyncFusion has done a great job in providing better documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
