Very good choice of components and nice templates to get you started. > > **Cons**: WPF apps can be slow. The included theme studio for winforms is not very good. More freedom of design would be nice. ----- ### "Experiences with Syncfusion Scheduler in Angular" — 4.0/5 > **Chris** | *February 13, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Controls are clean, well-documented. - Due to extensive documentation and examples AI development becomes easy and consistent. - UI design already fits into a modern style without struggle > > **Cons**: I did not have any struggles with the controls. I have no place to complain about the results as I was able to land deliver of a product in far less time than reasonably expected. It would be unjust to complain. I only explored these tools in Angular development. I will post a follow up review once I have a chance to try out the WPF controls. > > The tools are well documented so hunting for answers and examples was a breeze. Pairing this with agentic programming allowed me super quick delivery to my clients. I wanted to integrate a scheduling feature into the application. I paired agentic programing with codex cli and the scheduling controls. In 2 day's I had a functioning POC. I was able to provide a demo in less than a week and no changes were needed. The outcome exceeded the clients' expectations. Creating control like schedulers take a more than just a calendar on a page, it requires, intuitive workflows, and careful design considerations. It was great that someone else had already done the work necessary to have a well thought out control that was easy to fit into my needs. I look forward to replacing components in a WPF application with these. I trust that it should be easy and bring added value and a fresh look to an aging application. ----- ### "SyncFusion is a good library overall" — 3.0/5 > **Peter** | *January 7, 2026* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for money, and extensive feature set. There is a good potential to use SyncFusion to solve many problems within a single app. > > **Cons**: The interfaces with some of the components are illogical. Also, the documentation is not entirely clear. > > I appreciate all the effort invested in SyncFusion. My main interest was charting and tables. I have temporarily switched to chart.js, mainly because I have prior experience with it. ----- ### "Powerful and flexible UI toolkit for Vue development" — 5.0/5 > **Ronald** | *April 18, 2026* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Essential Studio provides a comprehensive and high-quality set of UI components that greatly accelerates development, especially when working with modern frameworks like Vue. The Vue integration is smooth and flexible, allowing for rapid implementation of complex interfaces with minimal effort. The components are feature-rich, highly customizable, and perform reliably even in demanding applications. The documentation is extensive and helpful, making it easier to get started and explore advanced features. Overall, it offers excellent value for money considering the wide range of tools and components included in a single package. It has been a very solid choice for building scalable and professional web applications. > > **Cons**: Overall, the experience has been very positive. As with any powerful toolkit, some advanced features may require a bit of time to fully understand, but this is expected given the flexibility and capabilities provided. > > My overall experience with Essential Studio has been very positive. It has helped streamline development processes, especially when working with Vue, by providing a robust set of ready-to-use components. This has allowed me to focus more on business logic rather than building UI elements from scratch. The flexibility, performance, and breadth of features make it a reliable solution for building scalable and professional applications. ----- ### "My impressions" — 4.0/5 > **Paul** | *December 20, 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for money, wide offering range. > > **Cons**: Nothing > > Great examples, so useful to get started. But too frequent releases caused issues as behaviour on certain components would unexpectedly change. ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/171039/essential-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/171039/essential-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
