Pros

“For the reports I generate into an XAML ContentPage, I am able to create a PDF file by capturing the ContentPage to an imageStream and then drawing that image onto a PDF page.”

Brian J.

Sole Proprietor

“There are no crippled features, no nag screens, and no artificial limits on the components themselves: I get the same DataGrid, RichTextEditor, PDF library, and Chat UI that enterprise customers pay for.”

Paul P.

Owner

“The integration was easy, and it allowed me to avoid the nightmare of writing JavaScript to handle GeoJSON data for specific geographic areas, since everything could be managed directly with C# objects”

Pros

“The modular architecture, built-in best practices, and ready-to-use infrastructure components make our daily development work so much easier and more efficient.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Huseyin S.

COO

“With its robust architecture and prebuilt configurations, it provides an efficient and structured approach to software development. Despite some areas for improvement, such as automated upgrades, ABP remains a highly recommended framework for developers seeking a streamlined and scalable solution.”

Merdan G.

CTO

“ABP products are a system that helps me and my team produce high-quality and reliable solutions at industry standards very quickly.”

Hüseyin Ç.

SW Development Manager

Cons

“My overall experience with Essential Studio has not been very good. While the component library offers many features, I have run into too many issues with Syncfusion components. When problems come up, it can be difficult and time-consuming to get them resolved, especially when the issue is inside the component itself. Because of this, I am now making steady progress removing Syncfusion integrations and replacing them with my own custom components for better control and reliability.”

Jake B.

Development Management

“We used to use it to render expand/collapse rows that have another complex component as a child, which introduced accessibility issues.”

Mark W.

Software Engineering Tech Lead

“What I like less is the strong emphasis on the full Essential Studio bundle; as someone mainly interested in the JavaScript Spreadsheet component, the overall product and licensing model still feel a bit too MSWindows-centric.”
PS

Paolo S.

Senior Software Developer

Cons

“We never feel like we are stuck with outdated technology.”

“Although abp suite can quickly generate pages, it does not support generating complex business forms.”

“However, I do not advocate using it for small landing pages or business card websites because it is unneeded.”
