What Users Say
Having used both the WinForms and Blazor UI packages for a few years now, the great thing about that (plus all of the additional packages that I have access to) is the ease of implementation and the support/documentation (which is extensive to say the least). Pretty much everything has a mini-demo which makes it easy to utilize that particular component. Due to the subscription I'm on, the customer support for tickets is usually 24 hours - I've had to contact them a few times over the years when I was querying rather obscure issues and the team are more than happy to generate projects to try and replicate the problem or will suggest code snippets for me to try (which usually fixes the issue). Overall, very happy with everything they offer and they show no sign of slowing down with updates etc.
Being able to build an entire solution around their UI packages allows me to focus on building the business solutions into the code without having to worry about creating the visual elements from scratch - it saves weeks (if not months) of time.
The support is excellent. They even solve problems when the fault is in the code and not the control. The response time is excellent and they are almost always very accurate in their answers.
Allows for rapid development of native applications in WPF and WinForms (the two main platforms I use). It reduces complexity particularly when formatting and customizing the controls.
Very powerful tools to build your UI in .NET WinForms application. We had a problem after Telerik changed its licensing mechanism. After a few days there was an update available that solved the problem. Very satisfied with the support!
