ABP Suite has come into it's own, it is now a serious productivity enhancer. Architecturally sound, ABP provides a solid foundation for all of our current projects.

5* architecture, the ABP team are rockstar developers and they know exactly what they are doing. I use their code as a benchmark for what my team writes in many cases. Nice to see the new MAUI client being developed, which is closing the gap from the old XAMARIN implementation on the previous platform. All in all the release cycles have got much better, bugs are being fixed faster and new features are being brought in without too many issues.

The ABP team, being rockstar developers, can sometimes make things hard for entry level / mid level devs to get up to speed with the platform. Documentation has got *much* better over the past couple of years, but I think there is still a ways to go before you can let a JR Dev loose on the platform without any guidance.

We have used ABP Commercial to develop a website, client portal and back-office application in the employment services sector.

The framework provides a foundation for developing domain-specific business applications. It's an out-of-the-box solution that addresses standard business requirements. Using the framework promotes good practices and a domain-driven design approach.

If you are not familiar with the modular approach to application development, there can be a learning curve in getting up to speed.

the templates we can choose, the pre-built applications modules, the support

Lack of customization, cannot access source code if we don't pay for the full package

Good base to start a project from; cross-cutting concerns are already present.

Documentation sometimes not 100% clear on a particular feature or not clear when the need arises to extend/replace a particular component.

ABP Frameworks saved us thousands of development hours, most of the effort has been invested in working on the business problem we are trying to solve, instead of technical and infrastructure code.You won't agree with all the design choices the ABP team has made - it is, after all, an opinionated framework - yet you will be OK with a good portion of them.For new teams, proper planning of ABP learning is necessary; don't assume you are ready once you have created a couple of samples based on the provided templates and tutorials.

An excellent and complete Full-Stack framework that applies industry best practices and solid design patterns, very-well integrated from your persistence code upward to your UI, and does an outstanding job of addressing numerous cross-cutting concerns in a transparent and reliable manner.

There is a steep learning curve with ABP that can be lowered by producing more learning material; and more cross-layer function/feature focused material.In any serious large-scale software development, you will need at times to customize, tweak or even replace some of the the built-in functionality of your infrastructure and framework code to fit your unique requirements; and unfortunately, this is where things with ABP becomes the most complicated; Better documentation and resources on ABP internals are essential - This is a must! As I said this is the case for all serious software projects; no exception.
