We needed to directly generate Excel, Word, PDF files, but did not want to have to install Office. We downloaded and tested a number of the components and ultimately decided to use Syncfusion's products. Developing with Syncfusion's components is very easy, due to their syntax being close to Microsoft VBA which was a main factor for us deciding to adopt these products. Technical support is also impressive with timely responses and delivery of bug and HotFixes meaning we can continue with our system development without a pause or need to seek another solution. A big thank you to Syncfusion for providing such excellent products and to their technical support team for their assistance.
