Overall Satisfaction with Syncfusion® Essential Studio®
I use Syncfusion® Essential Studio® to build a WPF app. What I really like about Syncfusion® Essential Studio® WPF offering is the PDFViewer with annotation features. The Datagrid and other controls are good too. The PDF and Word creation file format features are good too.
Pros
- WPF Pdf Viewer with annotation support
- Document creation (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.)
- WPF Datagrid
- Syncfusion® Essential Studio® is a jack-of-all-trade, master of none. You can get better PDF parsing and redaction elsewhere, but it's much much more cost effective, for simple needs.
Cons
- In my opinion, WPF's spreadsheet isn't good (slow, buggy, etc.)
- I think WPF's diagram could be better / more graph features
- A lot of examples
