    Can you share the comparison you got from SyncFusion and your conclusion?

    Hello,
    We don't provide comparisons with our competitors and there are many reasons for this. A great part of these reasons is described in a good blog article written by our CTO, Julian M Bucknall: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?. The main idea of this blog is that different people prefer different features, and it is impossible to perform an adequate and unbiased comparison that will be applicable to everyone.

    In my opinion, the best way to get a really good comparison document is to draw your own comparison. Make a list of technical features that are important in your project, and check whether and how they are supported in a certain suite. On our side, we can only clarify technical things about our own controls.

    We have a large set of demos (on our site and in our Demo Center) that show what our components can do in action. It may be helpful to you. You can show these demos to your client so that he/she can determine whether our components suit his/her requirements.
    Thanks,
    Michael

      That's my question too.

      I've excluded Telerik because of their aggressive commercial policy. Yes, because I've tried their WinForm product 3 times between 2015 & 2016 (Their control panel is not able to see it even we use the same login ID…), and their representative send me an e-mail speaking about Trial Licence Violation. They encourage me to pay the licence before their go to speak with a lawyer. Really don't like this approach. :/

      I've tried Infragistics (http://www.infragistics.com/) but don't realy like the WinForms look.

      So, now, I'm testing DevExpress and SyncFusion. While DevExpress has stopped the free version, SyncFusion still keep their version free for independent developer and small companie (https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/communitylicense)

      I'll try to post my conclusion soon.

            Hi Vincent,

            It is not my style to bash any company, but I ended my Syncfusion renewals some time ago, syncfusion sales called me and left a message to get back urgently about my license. They called again and I refused to pickup the phone (thanks caller id), they kept calling and leaving messages to call back, sending mails daily for more than a week.

            Finally I picked up to the phone and 'gently' told them to (beep) off. I never had such an aggressive sales experience :(

            To give some constructive input (for later readers), we used their (unbound) grid control as it gave full control to every cell, it was easily to disable a cell for editing and it was skipped when using cursor keys to move from cell to cell. This way it was easy to make entry forms instead of using textboxes and catching cursor keys.

            Since a while DevExpress has the SpreadSheet control which works great for unbound edits.

            Take enough time to compare your selected frameworks, all have a learning curve,

            Rene
