Perfect integration with Vue

- It has a good redesign of the components we cannot find in other UI. I have even noticed a lot of improvement in the file upload component. Particularly, it has been very easy to make it work.
- It works perfectly with Vue. I have had no problems adding components.
- The ThemeBuilder is the best. You can customize the theme of the application without touching a single line of code. The results in examples are shown in real-time.
Cons
- They should improve the documentation on certain components, not all of them have well-detailed help.
Return on Investment
- At first, I was a bit skeptical to implement it in my next project, but I decided to test out the trial version and it simply convinced me. It is a good investment and I am very satisfied. I was able to buy it since I included it in the development budget and slightly mitigated the high price.
- I am currently using it in a second project and it has gone wonderfully.
