Syncfusion Essential Studio® Reviews & Product Details

As a solo software developer, I needed a way to generate Word, Excel, and PDF documents on the server. Syncfusion provided an effective solution for this. The APIs are easy to use, the documentation is reliable, and I was able to integrate document generation into my web application within a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, there isn't much to mention. Initially, I was a little confused by the number of different NuGet packages available—there are quite a few, and it took me some time to determine which ones I actually needed. However, after I figured that out, everything ran smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bundle is robust and allows our developers to build great applications in Blazor and WinUI, our two focuses right now. Customer support is responsive and complete, and they do their best to address bugs as quickly as possible. They are very helpful in answering questions as well. The components are very helpful in allowing us to recreate features we had in our old applications in newer platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The WinUI feature set is not as complete as I wish it was. UWP had many more components. They have been responsive in adding our most desired features, like the Kanban control, but there are some components that I wish the WinUI package had that existed in UWP but still have not been added to WinUI. Perhaps that may change in the future - I hope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Support issues are resolved within 24 hours, and this is acceptable to me due to my community license. I

appreciate the prompt resolution of issues and the high level of support provided by the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Controls meet specifications to develop web applications (ASP.NET MVC and Core and JavaScript in my case) and provide a lot of features to develop world-class software. There are options for other frameworks/platforms. Support is excellent which makes me feel very confident when facing trouble, they provide answers in 24 hours. Support team will make a big effort to solve your issues and they are ready for a phone call and to remotely connect to your PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found any disadvantage or bad issue (yet). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
