Pros

“It is very practical for real business use cases, and at the same time it allows deeper technical work through custom widgets, integrations, Java actions, and deployment automation when needed.”

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.”

Sole Proprietor

“My overall experience is highly educational; these components act as a learning toolkit that shows me how professional applications are built while letting me create them easily. Although there is a learning curve due to the many features, the ability to build complex grids and forms without deep expertise makes it an invaluable resource for my growth as a developer.”

“The DataForm automatically creates input screens from my data models, teaching me how to structure data while saving me from writing complex validation code.”

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.”

Development Management

“The large number of available properties can be overwhelming for a beginner, making it hard to know which settings to use for simple tasks.”

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