But ExtJs provides more functionality for complex grid-heavy business apps like in accounting, or ERP or logistics, maybe the $5K/developer up-front cost well worth it. > > Very good. Never needed support as there is plenty of online documentation including excellent documentation by Sencha. ----- ### "Built Strong, Maintained Weakly" — 2.0/5 > **Alessandro** | *27 August 2025* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: product was and remain a robust framework with complete group of object to manage/create a web business application. > > **Cons**: Customer support is inadequate. Tickets rarely receive thorough investigation, and the burden of proof falls on the reporter—who can spend weeks reproducing and documenting issues. Development also seems stalled: releases now arrive annually, whereas they used to be monthly > > After 10 years of development, we have no choice, we have to continue... or we have to rewrite everything ----- ### "End result is good, but high developer learning curve" — 4.0/5 > **Eric** | *26 August 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works well in major browsers. High quality ui for administration panels. Not mobile-friendly, but thats not a requirement for us. > > **Cons**: High developer learning curve. Slow build process with java (error messages shown that according to support should be ignored). Documentation could be better. License pricing is very high. Large json/js arrays with the code can be problematic to work in. > > Quite good but developer learning curve would make us unlikely to adopt it in new projects. End result is good, but high developer learning curve. ----- ### "Very good product, despite a few pain points." — 4.0/5 > **Will** | *7 May 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - MVC paradigm - built in UI themes and ability to bring our own easily - politeness with other runtime packages (D3, etc.) - comprehensive reference docs > > **Cons**: - Design of Ext means that Sencha Test is really required to have good Selenium-style tests. - Difficult to work with individual grid cells, rows, columns; whether addressing, getting, formatting or setting values. - Licensing related bug in Sencha cloud. We have two licenses per team member (Ext and Sencha Test). NPM registry only sees Ext license, so we cannot access Sencha Test packages. - We cannot get the sts executable to work at all on Windows 11. Funny exceptions. - At times there seems to be no way to do something that should be easy. Hard to describe precisely. A solution is always eventually found but not always elegant and sometimes only after painful trial and error. For example enabling/disabling UI actions based on form validation formulas. - Need more maturity on date/time handling. Ext.Date type does not properly support Olson time zones, and serialization for backend integration is a constant headache. > > Overall positive, saves a lot of time versus starting with just Bootstrap and jQuery. MVC paradigm helps with app design - if you use it as intended. ----- ### "It's a decent product" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 September 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to easily create components that can be reusable is a really nice feature to be using in the build and development, code management is a okay, deployment is also fine, the value for the money I would not be able to answer, > > **Cons**: its near impossible to track down some of the bugs, customer support I'm not so sure, it is really hard to use the docs suck. > > It was fine, I enjoyed coding with it at times due to the increase of productivity from reusable features and common structure. other times I wanted to pull my hair out working with it ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/148124/sencha-platform?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/148124/sencha-platform) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
