The maelstrom of software development platforms

Suitable for start-ups

Generally great.

PROS

Lots of great features and they don't want an arm and a leg before you can use them.

CONS

Windows Forms code is all in the designer which makes it very difficult to focus on/find the useful parts.

Reasons for switching to Essential Studio

Better controls, better support

PROS

- free plan for small company- ease of use

CONS

- does not support asp.net classic anymore- i can understand that, but did you consider that it is quite hard to move an entire erp system with +1 m codelines to another .net environment?- we are only using rtf to pdf conversion; unfortunately you do not support all possible rtf features

Powerful product. Plan for lots of back-and-forth with customer support.

PROS

Many components, highly customizable, powerful features.

CONS

Documentation seems sparce for a number of use cases. Though I take painstaking effort to clearly lay out my requests to customer support, I often feel they have either not thoroughly read my comments or have not tested and validated that their responses solve the issue, leading to weeks of back-and-forth with customer support.

Reason for choosing Essential Studio

Syncfusion was less expensive, appeared to have all the components we needed, and could run on VueJS

Reasons for switching to Essential Studio

Software was old and clunky, expensive, and required jQuery.
