What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

Their sales channel is very aggressive - wanting early renewals, offering dubious discounts for early renewal, badgering frequently if you are wanting additional licenses, if you are going to renew licenses later in the year, etc. If the software wasn't so strong I would have gone elsewhere on this point alone.

What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

Progress Kendo UI is a bunch of JavaScript UI libraries built natively for jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue. It has made my complex front-end development easy and fast. It has made UI more responsive, modern, and it’s cross browser compatibility if of great use either we are using it for desktop or for mobile development. Also, documentation and customer support provided by the Kendo UI team are of great use if I am stuck anywhere while developing features.

Kendo UI has many components natively built for the most popular JavaScript frameworks which are of great use to developers i.e., Charts, Buttons, Theme Builder, Figma Kits, etc. The ready-to-use UI components, complex UI features have made my work simpler, faster, and more appealing. Due to this, I can bring excellent client results. I have been using it for more than 2 years, it works seamlessly. I recommend this to every developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

One major drawback of Progress Kendo UI is its pricing structure. It only gives 30 days free trial after that we need to buy its license that starts from $1149 which is expensive for individuals or smaller development teams with tight budgets. Also, it should be bit more beginner friendly. Otherwise, it’s a great product for development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Kendo UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

The major problem Progress Kendo UI is solving is that it is providing more than hundreds of native UI components which we can integrate with JavaScript frameworks. I do not have to write complex code for each component like charts, buttons, calendar, forms, etc. It also provides cross applications compatibility due to which I don’t need to write separate code for browser and for mobile application. Therefore, I can create great UI applications through this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

Progress Kendo UI includes over 110 cross-browser JavaScript UI components that closely mimic their desktop counterparts. For me, they fill the gap where Visual Studio either has nothing or forces you into using a server-side control. I've been using it on nearly a daily basis for close to 10 years. Implementation and integration are relatively painless, and I've yet to find any components with no documentation. I've never really had to use customer support because the documentation is straightforward, and anything I'm unsure about can usually be answered in the forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

Sometimes the sheer number of components and how they're categorized can make it challenging to know about all of them and/or to locate the appropriate documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Kendo UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

It greatly reduces the amount of code I have to write to create a full-featured client-side based UI that I can feel will work across all major browsers, allowing me to spend more time creating and less time wiring/plumbing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

The product support guys are very knowledgeable and of great help - I hope you pay them well.

Projects never fail when using Telerik controls - they will never let you down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

You dont provide enough ammo to convince the business that your controls are any better than Syncfusion (they are of course), so when the Biz says that all 3rd party control vendors are toxic (based on the hell of Syncfusion angular) you don't have any ammo for me to show you you are different - you need a lot more use cases.

Also, getting a one-developer lic is doable, but getting a team its ridiculous. This is why we move moved to Vuetify (or https://m3.material.io/components for react) because of the cost of ownership.

The total cost of ownership for a Dev Team is excessive. So you need to have a split of the developers that just include the CDN on their web page and those that raise support requests. That is you pay for a support contract.

I only use Telerik now for my personal projects, because, 20 developer (anyone could work on any project that may or may not touch a DLL or JS of Telerik). Thats when it gets crazy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Progress Kendo UI solving and how is that benefiting you?

WCAG is a BIG issue, UI consistency. Fully documented, and tested(to death) components.

In my case its RAD development of a PWA app.

The speed of rapid development possible with Telerik controls is phenomenal, but then I have been using Telerik when you only had one component, radGrid and 'Ajax' was the new kid on the block back in 2002. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
