What are ABP Commercial users saying about the software?

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.

ABP Commercial Review

Pros

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

Cons

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

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...).

ABP Commercial in Municipality.

Pros

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.

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 :)

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).

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.

Shorten your development cycle by 90%

Pros

Roles based access, configuration capabilities

Cons

Organization heirarchy with reporting managers like outlook

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.

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

ABP Commercial

really good - I like DDD pattern - so easy and understandable

Pros

1. definitelly I like ABP SUITE, which helps to generate necessary code layers following DDD and necessary repos, tests etc. it helps a lot, even I use it for preparation classes and leyered code and UI i'm doing myself 2. Multi-tenant in place !!! 3. payment solution

Cons

1. ABP SUite - but there are missing N:M relationship feature for geneation (-> like nested grid with actions on Detail/Edit view) etc. pls. improve it - this only missing part which will all help us 2. build pls. more and more modules, features 3, create symplified Dashboard/BI module is something i need

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fast development platform

Overall the framework has a lot of great features making development quick and easy.

Pros

You can quickly develop applications without worrying about building the core.

Cons

Changing application theme can be challenging and some of the commercial modules like file management not fully ready with user access rights.

ABP Commercial Review

Pros

Easy to use, comes with useful features, save a lot of development time.

Cons

Need to do some reading of the documentation and source code to understand how it is implemented.

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.

Amazing Tool

write little code, mainly CRUD operations, but I miss a better screen layout

Pros

Architeture is ready. DDD. focus in business

Cons

could be more options of themes and components

Features

Pros

Already build-in login features with different roles and with admin panel makes it easy to develop websites faster.

Cons

Did not have freedom to customize the already existing admin features.
