"Extremely reliable tools with the best support in the industry. Opinion from a long-time user."
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

All tools work as expected. Support is way beyond the average. If a issue is reported, and it is reproducible, they will quickly provide a patch for me and include the fix in the next release. That's about as good as it gets for support. It is a great cross platform tool and I've used it to provide a consistent interface between Windows and mobile devices. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to implement and consistent across interfaces. I am a long-time user, I've used it every day for at least six years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

I have been using this product for many years. There is no downside. I have submitted many tickets and the majority have been my own fault. But I have received excellent support and even code explaining what I did wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Syncfusion: Very versatile, data, event and model-centric UI widgets with excellent tech support"
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

What I find most helpful about Syncfusion Studio is the thoughtful design of its UI widgets.

Each widget is built around a model that supports both local and remote data manipulation, thanks to a comprehensive set of properties, events, and the ability to intercept or override nearly any default behavior.

The inclusion of default streaming or paging for remote data within the UI widgets is especially important to me, as it streamlines handling large datasets.

Additionally, their technical support team is very responsive, quickly addressing any issues or bugs that arise.

I also appreciate how easy Syncfusion is to use and implement. I primarily work with JavaScript and TypeScript, but the same code and controls are compatible with frameworks like React and Vue.

Customizing the default CSS colors and switching between styles such as Material, Bootstrap, or Fabric is straightforward, thanks to the built-in options.

As far as frequency of use, all these features have made Syncfusion my preferred UI widget set, one that I have relied on almost daily since 2017—so for about eight years now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

I would have to say, the least pleasant thing about Syncfusion are some of the omissions in documentation.

The major properties and events are described at the high level, and they started adding examples to every property, which is great. However, once you need to do deeper things, the documentation is bare-bones sometimes for more advanced functionality.

For example, some of the events' parameter descriptions are simply a repeat of the parameter name separated in the words that would constitute it, but nothing on the structure. If a parameter is both a value and a function, there is lost of times no description at all of the function variant or its layout.

They do however publish they source code, and when I need advanced things I'll either ping their tech support (which is very good) or look at the source code and find what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and easy development with Syncfusion components"
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

It's been several years since my original review and I can honestly say that I still only use Syncfusion's products. I have no need to change; their existing UI controls are constantly updated with new and relevant features, including AI integration. I haven't used the AI feature yet, but it looks very interesting. As usual, the Syncfusion support team continue to provide 1st class service to my queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

As I hoped, the Syncfusion Team continue to regularly enhance their document SDK. I use both their Word and Excel libraries in my business applications, and my clients love the performance and document processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Samll Business Experience of using Syncfusion Essential Studio"
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

Support, support and support. Product is great but the support is top notch. You get a very developer friendly reply with examples, sometimes a zip and a working video. No one else is doing this and for us it's a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

It can be a little on the heavy side for installations. In fairness I find this on any 3rd party packages I've used. It's just of case of removing the elements you don't need but there can be a fair few of them especially on the Blazor side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good library for .NET MAUI"
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

I really appreciate how easy Syncfusion Essential Studio is to use in my .NET MAUI mobile app. The components are well-designed, feature-rich, and have saved me a lot of development time. The documentation is generally helpful, and the community license is a fantastic offering for open-source developers like me. I’m truly grateful that Syncfusion provides such a powerful library for free under the community license. It has been a huge asset for my project, and the overall experience with the product has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

While I am very happy with the product itself, I find the constant reminders to leave reviews on platforms like G2 and Capterra quite annoying. Receiving weekly emails about this feels excessive, and it detracts from the otherwise positive experience I’ve had with Syncfusion. I understand the importance of reviews, but being contacted so persistently makes it feel more like an obligation than a request. Additionally, while the product is great overall, some of the sample code provided isn’t always up-to-date, which can occasionally confuse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Syncfusion + MAUI: The Fast Track to Feature-Rich App Delivery"
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

As a solo founder building Gunkle, I’m constantly balancing speed, polish, and user experience. Syncfusion’s MAUI-focused controls have become my go-to starting point whenever I’m architecting a new feature or refining UI/UX. Whether I’m prototyping or pushing to production, Syncfusion consistently helps me reduce development time and deliver a more refined experience. It’s not just a toolkit—it’s a strategic accelerator. The simplistic nature of the Syncfusion stack, allows for me to integrate their solutions into my platform and I am frequently finding myself defaulting to offerings from Syncfusion as we build rich user experience across our hybrid stack.

The sheer breadth of components available—paired with intuitive implementation and rock-solid documentation—makes it easy to move fast without sacrificing quality. All of this backed with phenomenal customer obsession and focus has led to a natural feeling of partnership not product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

So far, I haven’t encountered any real drawbacks. The experience has been smooth, and the tools have consistently delivered. If I had to mention anything, it would be that I’m still exploring the full breadth of what’s possible—so I may uncover areas for improvement as Gunkle scales. But at this stage, Syncfusion has exceeded expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great way to hit the ground running for MAUI Development"
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

The Syncfusion MAUI Component Suite provides a great way for us to offer a huge amount of additional functionality to MAUI Apps for our clients without having to reinvent the wheel each time. There's a very large range of comprehensively featured controls which suit the sort of common functionality clients are looking for in Apps that doesn't come out of the box with the MAUI Platform. The controls are also updated regularly with weekly releases and always not far behind compatibility with the latest MAUI platform updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

The Syncfusion licensing model doesn't allow for individual licensing of the different component suites (per platform), and typically clients only need single of these for a project. Hence it can be a lot more expensive/challenging to get approval from clients to use this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Next Generation Libraries"
What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

Syncfusion provides a wide range of ready to use software libraries that you can use be it online, desktop or mobile application.

They also provide ready to use examples. You will have no trouble even if you are a new user or transitioning from other software equivalent.

We also have no problem integrating it into our existing system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

A minor issue I experienced using Syncfusion is the version numbers of the widgets. When adding a new widget, you'll often want the latest version. You will need to update the already installed widgets if you want them to have the same version number.

There will also be cases wherein the updated widget version will have a new bug. The good thing is you can just contact their customer support and they will provide a fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
