"Easy App Integration with Helpful Example Projects"
5/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

It was very easy to integrate into our app. There are many example projects provided, which we were able to use as a starting point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

The Dashboard for Essential Studio could be more streamlined, rather than requiring a separate installer for each version. It’s not a deal breaker for me—just a suggestion for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile and Easy to Integrate Blazor Components"
5/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

The ease of integration with .net Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

{"I have no negative points to mention.","The color definition in the components is done by the CssClass. I would prefer to be able to assign a color from my color palette in an attribute so that when changing the theme, the color changes automatically. By placing it in the CssClass, it makes the project have a lot of inline CSS. Example: the simple button, if it has the Color attribute (accepting Primary, Warning, error, etc.), when changing the theme, it automatically changes the color of my button."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete toolkit for modern apps: save time and money"
5/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

It is a quite comprehensive collection of components and libraries for application development. It includes UI controls for web, desktop, and mobile, such as grids, charts, editors, dashboards, and reports. Ease of use, integrations, it is useful because it centralizes in a single toolkit practically everything a developer needs to create modern applications, saving time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

Because it is a very comprehensive package, it may take time to learn how to use all the components efficiently. In summary, the Essential Studio is powerful, but precisely because it is so extensive, it may seem "too big" or require extra effort to master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High-Quality Components That Save Development Time"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

What I like most about Essential Studio is its broad, high-quality set of components. They save me development time, and they also integrate smoothly with modern frameworks, which makes building and maintaining projects much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

The biggest drawback for me is the shift from fixed pricing to custom pricing. I preferred the earlier, more transparent pricing model because it made costs easier to understand and budgets easier to plan, without having to schedule extra conversations with sales representatives.

"Comprehensive controls with room to grow"
4/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

SyncFusion provides a broad selection of polished controls for WPF and MAUI. The documentation is solid, and the sample projects are genuinely helpful, making it easier to get started and onboard quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

I struggled with their WinForms replacement control; it felt slow, although it’s possible I wasn’t using it correctly. There’s also a noticeable learning curve when it comes to customizing the more advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Studio: Indispensable for Small Dev Teams"
5/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

I love how Essential Studio saves me from writing and maintaining a large amount of UI, which allows me to focus on the core of my application. The product is faster and more comprehensive than what I used before, especially with features like column filtering and windows management. I appreciate that SfDataGrid's filtering is programmable and not just a UI feature—it was the Excel-style filter dropdown that sold me initially, but I've come to appreciate how the filter state is exposed and usable in my code. I like that the DockingManager's layout can be stored and restored. The community license is generous, which is great for my small, one-person shop. SfDataGrid has worked extremely well, far beyond my expectations. The initial setup was extremely easy, making the transition smooth. Overall, having such a strong and robust product has been invaluable and is greatly appreciated above all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

I experienced an issue with the DockingClientPanel where the 'dock hosts' were painted over silently. This caused the manager to still report every panel as visible, even when they were actually covered. It was a minor nit that was resolved eventually after I figured out what was happening.

"Reliable DatePicker with Smooth Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

What I like best about Essential Studio is that it was easy to integrate and develop with. As a developer, I found the components simple to use, and they helped me build my application faster with less effort. The clear documentation also made the learning process easy and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

Since I'm only using one component, the cost feels a bit high for my needs. Overall, it's a great product, but a more affordable option for developers who only need a single component would be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game-Changer for Small Teams Building Angular Apps"
5/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

We’re a very small organization with a limited budget, and finding reliable UI libraries is always a challenge. Syncfusion Essential Studio has been a real game-changer for us.

The utility library is easy to use and integrates smoothly into our Angular projects. The online documentation is more than sufficient as well—clear, detailed, and practical—so we’ve been able to implement the features we need without any hassle. We also haven’t had to contact customer support yet, simply because everything related to the Angular UI components has worked perfectly out of the box.

What truly sets Syncfusion apart, though, is their generosity in providing Essential Studio free to small organizations. That kind of support makes a big difference for teams like ours, helping us grow and deliver professional-grade applications without worrying about expensive licensing fees.

Overall, Syncfusion Essential Studio has empowered us to build modern, feature-rich applications efficiently. It feels like a perfect fit for small teams that want enterprise-quality tools without the enterprise-level costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

Although Syncfusion Essential Studio has met our requirements overall, we do feel the UI components’ default styles could be stronger compared with a few other libraries on the market. In some cases, the look and feel needs additional customization to align with more modern design standards. Even so, most alternatives that come with more polished defaults are simply too expensive for a small organization like ours, so Syncfusion’s offering still feels like the most practical and valuable choice.

"Full-Featured Excel-Like Spreadsheet with Flexible API and Responsive Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Essential Studio?

The Syncfusion EJ2 Spreadsheet component is one of the most full-featured web-based spreadsheet solutions available. It provides a familiar Excel-like UI out of the box with cell formatting, multiple sheet support, formula calculation, and JSON

import/export. The API is flexible enough to build complex features on top of it,

like programmatically creating sheets, inserting data, and applying formatting.

The community license makes it accessible for indie developers and small teams,

and their support team is responsive and willing to engage directly with

developers to help resolve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Essential Studio?

The built-in formula engine supports around 88 functions, which is less than what users expect coming from Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
