Community Insights

TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

Extensive API documentation: Several users have praised the extensive API documentation provided by the framework, which has allowed for easy integration and the ability to add specific functionality as needed.

Responsive controls for web development: Reviewers have consistently mentioned that the controls for web development are responsive out of the box. This has made it easy to create interactive and user-friendly applications.

Wide range of functionality: Many users appreciate that the framework's controls include a lot of functionality, such as presenting database information in logical formats and providing user interactive informational views. This allows for a consistent user experience across pages and applications.

Difficult learning curve: Some users have found that certain components of the software have a difficult learning curve, which can be attributed to the complexity of the control. This steep learning curve may require users to invest more time and effort into understanding and using these components effectively.

Breaking changes with version updates: Several reviewers have encountered breaking changes when updating to minor versions, such as licensing errors. These unexpected changes can disrupt workflows and cause frustration among users who rely on stable and consistent functionality. It is important for developers to carefully consider the impact of these changes before releasing new versions.

Limited theming options: Users have expressed frustration over the inability to theme components using CSS variables, which requires a fully custom solution. This limitation means that users cannot easily apply consistent visual styles across their applications or adapt to different design requirements. Offering more flexible theming options would enhance customization capabilities and improve user experience.

Users recommend exploring Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition in depth to understand its design concept. They suggest taking advantage of the community license and trying the trial version. Users highly recommend Syncfusion for any development needs as it reduces development time and offers a broad set of capabilities. Additionally, users mention that Syncfusion has the best set of tools available in the market and suggest contacting the sales team for great offers. However, users caution about potential performance problems and bugs in the Blazor tools. Overall, users recommend Syncfusion for implementing fast applications with visual and usability capabilities, and they appreciate the comprehensive support provided by Syncfusion for mobile, desktop, or web-based applications.

As we began our quest to build a top-class school management system, we were always on the lookout for tools to streamline our processes while enhancing user experience. Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition emerged as an ideal partner in our journey toward creating a top-class platform. From the moment we integrated Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition into our development pipeline, the transformation was remarkable. The comprehensive suite of tools provided by Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition empowered our team to craft intuitive interfaces, dynamic data visualizations, and seamless workflows effortlessly. One of the standout features of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition is its ease of use. Even developers with varying levels of expertise found themselves navigating the platform with remarkable ease, thanks to its intuitive design and documentation. This allowed us to accelerate our development cycles without compromising on quality. Moreover, Syncfusion's extensive library of pre-built components proved to be a game-changer for us. Whether we needed interactive charts for analyzing academic performance or responsive grids for managing student records, Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition had us covered. The ability to customize these components to suit our specific requirements further makes our life that much simpler!
  • Data visualization - loved the choices that are available
  • Particularly liked the timetable module
  • As far as data visualization goes, the asks never end. I would like to see more options and flexibility around this.
It is very useful where moderate to complex workflows are involved especially when intended users are of different skill levels. In our case, the application that is being built would be used by people whose tech skills can vary from 0 to 10.

The company's main product is an executive information system, essentially a data mart that is populated nightly during an ETL process. Syncfusion was used to create a separate website to maintain the vast amount of metadata used to drive the functionality of the main product. The Syncfusion driven website is comprised of about 80 pages, primarily datagrids only. We use ASP.NET Core. Some pages have master detail grids with a grid on top driving the content of the grid below. Others have subgrids within a grid and can be viewed and maintained by expanding a row in the master grid. We used treeview controls, menus, popup windows, and others. Not an extensive use of all of the controls available, but extensive use of datagrids.
  • The datagrid's built-in functionality is extremely robust. Sorting, filtering, various columnar controls, moving columns, resizing, etc.
  • The sheer number of controls available is comforting. Although we did not use most of them, it is good to know that they are they if we need them for this and other applications.
  • The support is world class, even for a single developer company like us. I can't say enough good things about the support. They saved my behind more times than I can say. They are knowledgeable and responsive. The Chat feature is very useful.
  • I'd give the documentation a B+. Most times I can find what I want but sometimes what I'm looking for is buried. Overall very good, but could be a little bit better.
The datagrid is probably their most popular control I would think. It is so flexible and configurable. Most of mine are plain views in ASP.NET Core, but I have a whole bunch that are dynamically created at runtime in my controller. That is so powerful.
  • Datagrid functionality
  • Word class support
  • The site we developed enables non-technical users to maintain a large amount of metadata with a beautiful, easy-to-use interface, and prevents the need for them to log into SQL Server Management Studio to painfully manage their data. This significantly enhanced customer satisfaction.
Radzen seemed like a quality product but we needed more control over the interface than they could allow. I don't recall the details about Telerik and Kendo. I think Telerik also rated high but was more expensive?
Although I have decades of software development experience, I had never created a website from scratch before, and my html and css skills are not particularly strong. Between documentation and incredible dedication from the support team they helped me overcome all of my challenges. It's amazing that they typically create sample code for most of the issues that I submitted. On rare occasions where I uncovered a defect they kept me informed as to its status, and typically resolved it in a short-term release, and/or gave me a reasonable workaround. They hopped on zoom calls with me on multiple occasions when necessary.
Standard support is above and beyond for our small, one-developer company.
Yes
I've reported several bugs. Most were solved in a timely fashion. One or two were not resolved because of the complexity to fix. They were not very important in the grand scheme of things and probably did not impact many of their customers. They built up so much goodwill via their support team that we could overlook those minor issues.
There are so many that I can't even begin to select one.

I use Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition in Visual Studio.
It provides components that give extensive features, such as the sfDataGrid.
It is used in our downloadable products as well as customised software solutions for clients.
I have begun to develop with .net MAUI and the Syncfusion components are regularly being added to, making the development process and ultimately the user experience much better .
  • Data grids
  • Popups
  • Excel integration
  • Better image processing
I would use the components instead of the default VS components when additional functionality or more visually appealing is required.
  • Data grids and lists
  • Popups
  • Good documentation
  • Samples
  • Saving development time
Each time I have asked for support they have answered until the request is solved. I am particularly impressed by the way they will create a downloadable example to illustrate the solution.

GUI Controls such as Datagrids<br>And create/read Microsoft Office Excel files and PDF files
  • Good GUI Controls
  • Good read/write access to Excel files and PDF files
  • Documentation is mediocre but support is good
Good for Winforms and probably good for Other frameworks but haven't done that yet
Good for a small team so that you can spend time doing your application logic not GUI controls
  • Good GUI Controls
  • Good access to Excel files/PDF files
  • Excellent Support; You give them a code example and they send back the solution in code!
  • Let's me do a more intricate GUI faster and with less effort
Support is excellent! I meet them halfway by isolating the issue into a small project that I upload.
They come back with an answer, the inserted code is highlighted in yellow in their response
Nice!
Nope; 1 to 2 biz day response is okay by me!
Yes
Yes, Master Detail setting Headers for detail line to zero did not work. Workaround was to set it to 1 pixel which was virtually the same thing. This bug was fixed in a few weeks.
