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.
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.

It has almost all the components that we needed. The components are easy to use and the Kendo support team responded every time we asked for their support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We customised the components a lot (without theme builder) and after some major releases, it was a challenge to check and addapt to all the changes made to the components class names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is fantastic, the documentation is also very good. We have had a such a good experience with our implementation (Angular) We have used support once and that was also a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

css can be a little bit messy sometimes, even with the theme builder Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.

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.
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.
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.
