Solid foundation for serious product development
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.
PROS5* 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.
CONSThe 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.
Vendor Response

We're glad to hear that our architecture is being used as a benchmark for your team's code and that the new MAUI client is closing the gap from the old XAMARIN implementation.

We are continuouosly working on improving our documentation to make it more accessible for all levels of developers. We're glad to hear that you find ABP Suite to be a serious productivity enhancer and that it provides a solid foundation for your projects.

A Solid foundation and building block for your software product
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.
PROSAn 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.
CONSThere 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.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review and for sharing your thoughts on ABP Commercial. We appreciate your feedback on the steep learning curve and the need for more learning resources. We will work on improving the documentation and resources on ABP internals. We're glad to hear that ABP Frameworks saved you thousands of development hours and that it helps you focus on the business problem. We understand that some customization may be needed, and we will work on making it easier.

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.
PROSABP 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.
CONSIn 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.
Reason 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.

Solid, full featured toolset
Overall, we have been very happy with the suite once getting over the initial learning curve. We are using it as the foundation of a SAAS product which is being built to replace a 40 year old on-prem solution.
PROSThe ABP framework allows your team to skip the coding of all of the basic, foundational code required for a web application, and go straight to the business logic that will power your app. It also provides a skeleton that follows best practices to help keep your code base easily maintainable as it grows.
CONSThere is a steep learning curve to understanding the 'ABP' way of doing things (although it does pay dividends once you understand it). The support can sometimes be a challenge. Some of the support staff are excellent, but there are a couple who seem to always give an answer that reads along the lines of "read the help".

Abp Commercial for productive developer
With the help of abp I am focused on solving problems and not on infrastructure. Abp provides a ready-made solution to problems that should be built into every product so you don't have to worry about it. The best thing is that the final product is of high quality. Using DDD is natural in abp solutions and abp forces you to respect the basic principles of domain driven design. At first, you struggle a bit with too much generated code, but later you see that everything is in your pocket and everything is in the right place. Programming time is accelerated by more than double
CONSAbp Suite needs to be improved. The ability to replace the UI of choice for existing projects is missing.

ABP Commercial for government applications
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.
CONSI 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.

Very pleased with ABP Commercial
The commercial modules have saved us lot of time and the support has been excellent.
PROSWe 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.
CONSEven 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
Vendor Response
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.

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.
PROSWe 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.
CONSIn 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.
Vendor Response
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 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.
PROSModular 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
CONSNot for me. New trends in the technologies used are reflected in the product as soon as possible (for example MAUI, Bootstrap 5, .Net 6...).

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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThere 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.
Reason 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.
