Complete, robust, fully functional web UI
Overall it's a great product. It does everything Telerik Kendo does but is cheaper and therefore a better value.
PROSThe Syncfusion Grid component is as good or better than any other on the market. It has every feature you could want: paging, sorting, filtering, sizing and reordering columns, exporting to PDF, CSV, or Excel. And they have just about every other rich web component you think of: Calendar, sortable list, embedded rich text/HTML editor, charts, maps, you name it. And best of all, their free community license includes ASP.Net MVC so you can develop rich MVC web UI applications. And also includes Xam
CONSAlthough they have extensive documentation, they so many components that do so many things, that not every feature has specific programming examples, so you sometimes have to figure things out through trail and error. And although the MVC components all have tons of methods and parameters you sometimes have to write JavaScript to make it work the way you want. So you need to be a strong programmer.
Reasons for switching to Essential Studio
The free community license version of Synfusion is way better than Telerik Kendo's open source product. Kendo is JavaScript only and Synfusion gives community users their whole platform.

Software development partnership made in heaven.
Great company to work with and it feels like the Syncfusion team are an extension of our own team. If you need components for your application development no matter what language, there is probably something in the tool set. I made the decision to use Syncfusion a long time ago and have never looked back. As development trends change and new languages come along Syncfusion are always there with up to date tools for the job.
PROSHaving a huge number of components ready built and fully customisable at hand is amazing. Saves so much time and they help make applications look great. The support from Syncfusion is probably the best support I have received in my time being a developer.
CONSI think sometimes the documentation could be better. It is not always easy to find the help you need to perform a specific task but this is always countered by top notch support.
Reason for choosing Essential Studio
At the time Syncfusion were the only company offering PDF support. Along with all the other components that covered all aspects of development, whether web, windows, office integration.

Suitable for start-ups
Generally great.
PROSLots of great features and they don't want an arm and a leg before you can use them.
CONSWindows 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

Product with a lot of bugs and bad support
Includes a lot of features, and add new features. Has some free books.
CONSThe documentation is very bad. Include only very basic and unreal samples The support is very bad I spent one year with some errors with the report component. They fix one bug with the report and added 5 or 6 errors. I moved to Devexpress and after some years they still continue working with the bugs. I tested xamarin and the demo includes a lot of errors. I tested angular and got a lot error several weeks and support doesn't help me.
Reasons for switching to Essential Studio
The bad support, documentation, samples and a lot of bugs.

Excellent product
I mostly use Blazor, Xamarin a MAUI components. Lot of components, simple to use, lot of examples, excellent documentation and excellent support. It's fascinating that even though I'm using a community license, the support is like having a paid license. Every client is important to them.
CONSAs for the components from Essential Studio, I have no complaints.
Reasons for switching to Essential Studio
I switched because of price. Meanwhile, I realized that in addition to excellent components, they have even more excellent support.
