What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

We’ve been using Syncfusion Essential Studio for over 4 years, and it’s been a game-changer for our team. The components are incredibly versatile and cover almost every use case we’ve needed, from basic UI elements to complex data grids and charts. The ease of integration with our existing projects saved us countless hours during implementation. The documentation is straightforward, and even if we get stuck, their customer support team is super responsive—whether through live chat or tickets. We’ve raised nearly 50 tickets so far, and every single one was resolved quickly with clear solutions. The frequent updates with new features and improvements keep the library fresh and aligned with modern needs. It’s rare to find a tool that’s both powerful and easy to use, but Syncfusion nails it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

Honestly, there’s very little to complain about. If we had to pick something, a few advanced components initially felt overwhelming due to their depth of customization. While the documentation is good, adding more real-world, scenario-based examples for complex components could reduce the learning curve. That said, their support team always bridges this gap quickly, so it’s never been a major roadblock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syncfusion Essential Studio® solving and how is that benefiting you?

Syncfusion Essential Studio has solved two major challenges for our team: time-consuming UI/UX development and handling complex functionality from scratch. Earlier, building custom components like diagram, charts and other form and unitlity components took weeks of effort. With Syncfusion’s ready-to-use components, we’ve cut development time by nearly 40–50%, allowing us to focus on core business logic instead of reinventing the wheel.

Another big win is consistency and scalability. For example, their components handle cross-browser compatibility, responsive design, and accessibility out-of-the-box, which used to be pain points during manual development. This ensures our applications are robust and user-friendly without extra effort.

Lastly, their proactive updates and responsive support have saved us from getting stuck with outdated tech or unresolved bugs. Whenever we face edge cases, their team provides quick fixes or workarounds, minimizing downtime. Overall, Syncfusion helps us deliver polished, feature-rich applications faster, keeping clients happy and projects on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

I've been particularly impressed by its flexibility across different development environments, including Blazor. The seamless integration with Visual Studio enhances my workflow, making it easier to design and implement features without switching tools. Additionally, the comprehensive demos that come with the installation package are invaluable as they provide clear examples and serve as a helpful jumping-off point for my projects. These features collectively make Syncfusion a powerful and user-friendly tool that significantly boosts my productivity. I use syncfusion daily, and it's greatly helped increase my productivity and helped me modernize my application look and feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

While Syncfusion offers many strengths, there are a couple of areas where it falls short. Occasionally, Visual Studio flags the Syncfusion plugin as a cause for slow startup times, prompting me to disable it to enhance performance. Additionally, managing licenses for applications that use Syncfusion can be somewhat cumbersome. Each time you update the Syncfusion version in your application, you need to generate a new license key, adding an extra layer of complexity to the licensing process. These issues can hinder the overall user experience and workflow efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

The library, especially for Blazor, has allowed me to get up and running quickly on new projects. The look and feel is great and generally speaking, performance is acceptable.

Implementing the NuGet packages is very easy and it does take a lot of guesswork out as they have great documentation on all of their components.

Customer support is outstanding and was a primary driver on choosing this product. I have used this product at home on hobby projects and my experience with customer support is the same as with a paid licence. It made it easy to recommend it to use at work.

I would say they have virtually all components covered to build a full featured site. I haven't needed to go too far into any other libraries to get what I'm after. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

I do find the toast notifications difficult to use. There isn't a nice way to call these from a reusable component. I ended up using Blazored.Toast instead for this one component.

The documentation can skew a little too far on the simple side and some more complex examples would be appreciated, but I also realize this is where support can come in and they do answer questions if you're having a tough time getting something up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syncfusion Essential Studio® solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't need to re-invent the wheel by creating my own libraries, along with CSS, to get up and running. Performance is taken care of by the library and I can spend my time making the application functional first and not needing to worry as much about styling it.

What problems is Syncfusion Essential Studio® solving and how is that benefiting you?

Stability problems, the previous editor broke our reports when there was instability or internal exceptions that were not possible to handle, in addition to the very high number of requests to the server, causing our infra to overload and generate slowness in the editing of reports.

What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

Essential Studio ties right in with Visual Studio. Plenty of examples and tutorials, not to mention a support team that is amazing.

Some of the doc for my install was out of date and they stood right up and helped me work through it.

Now, it's just drag and drop to use the components like any other tool.

I'm using it most everyday while in development of tools to help me with my wok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

not much. Some times the number of options for a component can be overwhelming, but the doc and the support team make it all come togther. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

Using the Syncfusion suite means I can spend less time building e.g. "yet another grid/list view" for some admin operation, and more time on the exciting parts of the product I'm building. Generally the controls are easy to use and implement quickly, with ability to customise for specific use cases. I often find myself reading community posts and finding the answers to whatever questions I have, particularly when it's customising something.

I am using this most days now.

I had one difficulty with the PDF generator and reached out to the support team, they worked hard to understand my specific implementation (hostign environment) and they were able to un-stick me. Amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Syncfusion Essential Studio®?

Sometimes I find the seperation of documentation for all platforms a little tricky, because ultimately the base solution and archictecture is the same, but the implementations vary by chosen platform language. Sometimes I have found the answer to a problem from reading docs for one platform and then implementing in e.g. EJ2.

Perhaps a Syncfusion architecture first approach to documentation would work, with tabbed displays showing code examples for your chosen platform.

This would help with the pain of Google searching and appending e.g. "EJ2" or "dot net MVC" to your search query.

This is just one developer's opinion though and I can see how the platform has evolved to what it is today! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Syncfusion Essential Studio® solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing me to focus on building products and solving problems without spending hours building primitive UIs as I scaffold projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
