    "I have been very satisfied with Essential Studio. It took a little time to learn (coming from having used DevExpress), but after a while, it was easy to use and understand. The documentation (demos and docs) is very good and comprehensive. The support (ticketing service) is excellent!!"

    Emmanuel S, Developer
    "I've already worked with the Telerik components, and I can say with confidence, Syncfusion is not far behind, and with this licensing scheme, there are many steps forward."

    Neilson D, Desenvolvedor .NET Information Technology and Services
    "The vast range of controls and the level of which they can be customized & configured. The global developer license costs compared to competitor-based products (i.e., Telerik) is way cheaper for the same type of controls."
