Fantastic product would recommend.
Commercial products to market for our customers in a single configurable platform.
Pros
The jump start that the framework and tooling provide any team is worth every cent.
Cons
We have been using it since very early and things have progressed well but did make a few design changes as features became available (e.g. BlazorUI etc)

ABP Commercial for government applications
Pros
It is very comfortable to use and adapt. I have yet to see another framework that better responds to demands for fast and practical implementation.
Cons
I would love for ABP to release a different application so that it can compete with non-code platforms. Because sometimes our customers want to develop their own applications in-house and with their own teams.

A software developer's Swiss army knife
I use it especially for integrated management systems. Due to its strong infrastructure features, there are no potential problems. The starter template, which is boring and takes a lot of time for a developer to get started, is automatically ready (for example, role-user management, theme, some basic modules, etc.). In addition, the rapid development tool (abp suite) and test tools, which are necessary when developing applications, are also very helpful.
Pros
Modular Architecture , powerful rapid software development tool (abp suite), pre-built modules, easy updating of software version, integrated and customizable bootstrap proffesional theme (lepton and leptonx), professional support
Cons
Not for me. New trends in the technologies used are reflected in the product as soon as possible (for example MAUI, Bootstrap 5, .Net 6...).

Response from Volosoft
Hi Umit, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for ABP Commercial. It is great to hear it has been helping you with integrated management systems and you found ABP Suite with startup templates useful. Please do not hesitate to contact with us if you need. We are always here for you.

ABP Commercial in Municipality.

Product is easy to use. It is a best practice architecture of Domain Driven Design. Also it makes easy to use microservice architecture.
Cons
There can be more templates and basic examples for first time starters.

Accelerate product development
The product has enabled us to deliver a highly functional and robust suite of software products to our clients, in a short time frame and with a small development team.
Pros
The best feature of this software is the commercial modules. They provide pre-built functionality out of the box and a working application day 1.
Cons
The abp suite feature could offer more sophisticated modeling capabilities. Once the generated code is modified in a significant way it becomes less beneficial to utilize for maintaining the code.

Hi Jamie, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for ABP Commercial. It is great to hear ABP Commercial has been helpful to accelerate your development process.

we love abp!
Pros
ABP is a great platform for dev teams without a framework team. Also, ABP has speeded-up our software development process.
Cons
The only negative thing I can share is the commercial cost :)

Response from Volosoft
Hi Volkan, Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you speeded up your software development process with ABP Commercial. This is all we are working for.

Such careful thought and rigorous implementation
It was a pain at first, but the RAD is worth it especially if you resonate with the underlying philosophies such as DDD etc.
Pros
ABP is tailored to utilize all the latest widely accepted best practices; so it encourages you to design your software 'correctly'. So many time-saving techniques are implemented.
Cons
There are many times things that were seemingly easy to accomplish became difficult. Sometimes this was due to lack of documentation or knowledge of some of the 3rd party tooling on our part. It's a lot. It is a big investment to become familiar with the concepts, the product, it's 3rd party pieces and even the quirks/bugs of the product itself (of which there is a noticeable amount).

Response from Volosoft
Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. We are glad to hear you are saving time on your development processes thanks to ABP Commercial.

Same Time and Money
Most important and key feature which make us to use this product is it's SAAS, payment and CMS module. When it come to Enterprise software, the need to have Web API with Multi Tenant integration is must have to support multi client platform. It's only six months since we subscribed this product but confident we will use it for long term.
Pros
SAAS, Payment Module, CMS Module, Webapi, new Lepton Theme
Cons
It has a useful feature like "Generating CRUD Pages From an Existing Database Table" but, it can generate for one Table at a time, you cannot select multiple table in one go. Hope it can be improved to speed up the development process.

Response from Volosoft
Hi Navneet, Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you are benefitting from our modules. Your suggestion for being able to select multiple tables in one go in ABP Suite to generate CRUD Pages is sent to our developer team to consider.

Out-of-the-box features saving a lot of money and time
We love ABP. We don't have to write everything from scratch. We start from out-of-the-box features and just focus on what we really need to write.
Pros
ABP has many common features out-of-the-box that we can use right away. By using these features as our starter code, we are able to save a lot of time, effect and money. Also ABP is well-architected and the code is high quality with less bugs. If we would have to write everything we needed by our own, we might have to spend years. Once more things we like is that the new version, or issue fixing or improvement come out very soon every other weeks. We don't to wait too long.
Cons
In few cases, we need to customize thing, however we figure out that the document related to that is still under construction. Also between major version, there are some breaking changes. However, it is completely understandable and acceptable since we still can ask support.
Reasons for choosing ABP Commercial
- out-of-box features - .NET Core support - offer to try ABP for existing AspNetZero customer
Reasons for switching to ABP Commercial
We started from AspNetZero. We used AspNetZero because it was best starter ASP.NET framework we could find in the market at that time. However, we switched to ABP since ABP supported .NET Core and can be deployed in linux environment.

Response from Volosoft
Hi Yuttana, Thank you for taking the time to review ABP Commercial. We are very happy to hear that you managed to streamline and simplify your overall development process with ABP Commercial's features. Please let us know if you ever need our help.

Very pleased with ABP Commercial
The commercial modules have saved us lot of time and the support has been excellent.
Pros
We were super fast creating a fully functioning POC. Then being able to iterate from there without the POC being something that we had to throw away was a huge thing. Also having a external team working on features and bug fixes has been great. We can focus on what we do best and that's giving value to our customers. The documentation is very extensive and good and the CRUD tool "suite" saves a lot of time creating and updating our entities all the way to the UI just in few clicks.
Cons
Even though it aims to be simple, easy to use and fast in development there were times we had problems understanding the best approach to doing things. The docs are extensive but I feel they sometimes lack examples. If you go over questions in the forums or on github you see a similar theme of questions I think could be better addressed so users don´t have to repeat thing. But I´m just really nit picking here, there are no big issues

Response from Volosoft
Hi Sturla, Thank you for your review of ABP Commercial. It is great to hear that it helped you save time on your development processes. We are dedicated to make ABP Commercial easy-to-use and constantly try to improve our platform and documentation accordingly.

Faster and easier SaaS product development with ABP
It was a great experience overall. I'd strongly recommend ABP to anyone who needs to build a SaaS product in a short period of time, and wants a strong foundation and architecture.
Pros
We like how easy it is to build a SaaS product without having to build everything from scratch. ABP provides a solid framework built on DDD principles and many software engineering best practices, and gives developers a strong foundation to build their own products. The pre-built modules can shorten the development time required and accelerate the go-to-market of a project.
Cons
In the initial versions of ABP, documentation was a bit lacking and we had to figure things out the hard way. Documentation has improved significantly and while there is premium support with an ABP Commercial subscription, it would be good if there's a stronger platform for community support.

Response from Volosoft
Hi Vincent, Thank you for taking the time to review ABP Commercial. It is great to hear that you found it easy to use and were happy with the results. We pride ourselves on providing a quality product that can be tailored to meet the needs of our users and are trying to find ways to improve the platform for community support. We would love to learn if you have any suggestions how. Please feel free to reach out to us anytime.

A fantastic tool, and my coding buddy for the last year
I have been wanting to use ABP Zero for many years. When I saw the ABP Commercial was using .Net core, I jumped at the opportunity to use this tool as the basses of my applications moving forward.
Pros
The enterprise modules that come with ABP Suite takes your product to the next level. The Domain Driven Design follows best practices and implement Clean Architecture. The code generator does a good job of generating the backend and a a workable front end. There is a good amount of documentation for the product.
Cons
There are minor bugs with the generated code, which are easy to identify and fix. These are normally fixed with the next minor or major release.
Reasons for choosing ABP Commercial
I needed to develop a new and complicated application using .Net core for the backend, and MVC as the front end. I wanted to be able re-create the front end using Blazor, once I was happy that the technology had matured.

For new SaaS businesses
Excellent. It allowed us to pivot our business from traditional software development to SaaS.
Pros
ABP allowed us to pivot from being a traditional software vendor to being a true SaaS provider. We were able to make the pivot using our existing development team which had very limited SaaS development experience. ABP allowed us to get up and running very quickly by providing the foundation we could build on.
Cons
We did not have any SaaS development skills so the learning curve was very steep. There are not a great deal of resources available to make that process easier. But there are enough to make it possible.
Reasons for choosing ABP Commercial
We didn't look at alternatives.

Response from Volosoft
Hi Gerard, Thank you for your honest review of our product. We're glad to hear that ABP has been a help to you in your transition to becoming a SaaS provider. We understand that the learning curve can be steep, but we are continually working to make our products and documentation more user-friendly.

Great Development Framework to Standardize the Solution
Pros
ABP Commercial offers the solution that comes with operational ready administration module, system services and reusable frameworks for both frontend and backend components that we could leverage to rollout our projects in shorten turnaround time. In addition, ABP Commercial continues to enhance its existing framework, launch new modules/solutions based on the latest trends, and issue security patches when its solutions are at risk.
Cons
Documentations may not be up to dated or comprehensive enough where my team needs time to read through the source codes.

Stable and evergreen base to use as a basis for projects
Pros
The platform handles much of the repetitive, surrounding infrastructure that must be in place, which means that we can put a much greater focus on the business logic and thus the business benefits.
Cons
Even though the documentation has improved and is getting better there are still need for more documentation, especially around how to use ABPs own modules, like accounts, identity etc.

Hi Magnus, It is great to hear that you have found our platform helpful for your projects and I apologize for the lack of documentation.

Very good framework
Pros
This framework is easily customisable. With the abp suite and cli it is also very quick to have a new application up and running. ABP includes the latests version of well known and widely used 3rd party libraries.
Cons
The framework ist still young and we would welcome more business related modules out of the box.

Abp Commercial Review
Pros
Pre-built template was easy to setup and has multiple tech stack configurations. Well-documented and we use many of its core features in our applications.
Cons
Documentation could be improved with more examples. Customization of framework wasn't easy at first to learn and more documentation on this would help. Some of the npm/nuget packages require diving into the source code to understand how it works and documentation on this would help.

Experience with ABP.IO during building Clientele.Digital
Pros
ABP.IO allows junior and mid level developers to build high quality features based on high quality solution architecture and extensive documentation of best practices. Support is also very responsive and professional. We never had a situation when we got stucked with a technical issue and dev support wasn't be able to help us.
Cons
Junior developers may face some challenges grasping SOLID fundamentals of the framework. Additional video trainings would be appreciated.
