The vendor’s value proposition is that Kendo UI offers a large library of popular and configurable components ranging from sophisticated grids and charts to basic buttons, so users don’t have to waste development time building their UI.

With Telerik UI libraries, Progress aims to equip .NET ninjas with a full arsenal of weapons, helping to create beautiful, modern and future-proof applications quickly and intuitively. The vendor states that with its over 1,250 UI components for all .NET platforms, as well as various themes, skins and customization options, Telerik users report cutting development time by up to 50 percent.

We selected Kendo UI because we were using Telerik controls already, and Kendo was included in our license. Other than that we have found the package mature enough to support our workflows which include some tricky scenarios: file upload, text editor, grids with grouping and …

Chose Progress Kendo UI
Actually, I did not try any other. When I arrived Kendo was already a standard tool in the organization. Outside of ALS, I've had contact with other web suits from Telerik and also from SyncFusion.
Telerik ASP.NET controls have a significant advantage over DevExpress -- automated web tests, rich API for testing web pages containing Telerik controls. Telerik also has less strict license terms: - Telerik software is licensed on a per-seat basis - DevExpress software is …
We have experienced working with Telerik UI tool set from 2002, KENDO UI born 2011 it has built 100% Javascript like a Telerik UI is a 100% Web Tool. Because this tool was born in 2002 before their competitors then Progress has a lot of experience around of this kind of tools. …
We used to use Component One but changed over to Telerik controls because they seemed to stay on top of the industry trends and the pricing was reasonable. The implementation was easy and the developers all voted for Telerik. We even used their reporting engine as well. The …
TelerikASP.NET Controls are still more feature rich than Kendo UI, so I prefer to use them wherever possible. Open source controls are used only for special scenarios.
One of our partner companies is using Kendo UI for jQuery. In order to exploit synergies with our partner we selected Telerik Kendo UI for jQuery. Other selection criterias were a) the longevity of Telerik, b) the Support, c) the Performance and d) the scalability.
Infragistics. We currently have an active license, but are using Kendo UI much more. The documentation and examples ultimately made the difference in deciding where to expend our efforts. There is only so much time in the day to spend trying to learn new products. We will put …
I felt that all three of these offerings were close, but Kendo seemed to be a little easier to work with inside our Node/Angular environment!

Chose Progress Kendo UI
We went with Kendo after evaluating the different options because Telerik has a good reputation in the .Net developer world, and the initial review showed that Kendo would be easier to use and look better with minimal effort on our part. In the end it came down to the fact …
Kendo UI stacks up greatly against other controls libraries like JQWidget and so on. It may be more expensive, but with what your getting from Kendo UI I can understand it (I still wish it was a little less expensive). But Kendo UI controls look and function better, and are …
We worked with Telerik since 2011. At first we used their controls for Silverlight and with time we continued using their tools like Kendo UI since we had positive experiences. In the beginning we took Telerik tools on a trial basis, and after a test period we liked their …

Chose Progress Kendo UI
No other. Before Kendo I used various open source jquery plugins and Telerik's Ajax platform. Telerik's Ajax was a component for old asp.net forms. Jquery was alternative which was better connected with ASP.NET MVC pattern. But none of this framework provides functionality like …
Directly at the begging of Telerik, we choose Telerik as our main component solution. When Telerik added Kendo to the family of their products we made a decision to słowy move out from ASP.NET Ajax to Kendo UI. After a long time, we see that it was a very good decision and we …
I think that this was case of luck - we downloaded Kendo UI stack and immediately after initial test that was it. No further chargeable components were used but we use some of free components coming through Bootstrap templates like Dropzone, Switch and few more. Overall we do …
Telerik UI for Blazor is much more usable than Kendo UI. I was never a fan of Kendo UI, but I like using Telerik UI For Blazor due to the ease of implementation for the components.

Chose Progress Telerik
We have been implementing our own custom code using the ASP.NET framework, and it has taken us a lot longer to implement functionality. When we transitioned to using Progress Telerik UI components, it exponentially sped up our development time and improved the look of our …
It allows us to extend the components or create new components in an easy way. The control suite is complete and powerful enough that you do not need to consider other competing packages. The controls are relatively easy to implement and when we ran into problems the documentation and online support were very reliable.
We have used the Telerik UI controls for our Admin user experience. We found that this lead to consistent user experience, with feature rich functions already provided. Effectively this meant that hour for hour, using the Telerik UI improved productivity in creating screens with more functions than using the default controls in ASP.NET. At this point most of our focus with the Telerik controls is User Interface oriented.
Kendo UI controls provides rich set of features and capability that is required for enterprise products.
Performance of controls are satisfactory overall though few other vendors provides extraordinary performance for specific controls and for specific purpose. Kendo UI provides most of the required controls and with rich feature that made us to select Kendo UI controls for our development.
Kendo UI controls quality, in terms of performance, robustness and well defined interfaces are very positive notes.
Kendo UI is always moving forward and staying current with latest development trends. While that is beneficial, that can cause some issues when supporting customers (particularly government) that don't move their IT infrastructure along nearly as fast. A prime example is web font icons. Great and easy to use, but where Kendo UI utilizes web font icons as the sole means of displaying an icon, not all organizations (again, especially government) allow the use of these. There have been times where Kendo UI became unusable and we had to downgrade to a version a few years old. Makes continued payment for licenses sometimes feel wasted as we may not be able to always use the new releases
Kendo UI has a wonderful feedback system and they do indeed listen to the community. However, there do seem to be some instances where there is large support for a new feature/component and it never gets addressed. It is easy to understand that not all ideas are easy or even prudent to implement, but would be nice to see a better follow-up on ideas with a current status
Refreshing Kendo UI grids is simple, yet the standard API method causes the grid to return to the default state. We have many use cases where we would love to update the grid data but need current grid state (such as expanded detail rows, sorts, filters, etc) preserved after the grid is updated so that users do not have to perform grid actions again to return to the desired state.
Nothing better has come along. I'm always on the lookout for new UI libraries and I have tried most of them. Kendo has done a good job of keeping my business. They aren't perfect, but no one has done it better as far as I can tell. I'll keep a look out and my rating may change in the future if they get complacent.
The Telerik UI has become part of our staple development tools. We can not be as productive without the feature set available to us in the Telerik UI ASP.NET AJAX control package.
it's easy to implement in applications. The kendo widgets are able to be used in almost any type of business application which has a UI. For most part, once the developer has completed a project which uses Kendo, many time code can be copy/paste into a new application. Kendo UI documentation keeps improving so finding the answers to questions can be easy
Progress Telerik UI is very usable and one of the best tools to use by the front-end development engineers in our team. It has helped us to improve the overall design of our existing and new applications. Also, the time to build applications has also been reduced effectively and we are able to focus on other areas of improvement to deliver a better user experience for our customers.
Overall, we are satisfied with the support offered by the Progress Kendo UI team. We had raised few helpline incidents in the past and they have been resolved timely by the team. Also, we were satisfied with the level of information and support provided by the team.
Telerik UI support is what you are paying for. If something does not work you ask them for an example of how to solve your use case. The SEO on their sites is awesome and so well bedded into Google. The videos are good, [they're] not used much but their examples and DoJo examples make all the difference.
it took me about one day to make the components available for all the team members, including a quick demo, parallel setup in everyone’s workstation and packages deployment into our nuget server after 3 days of one to one support, everyone was able to use the components or find help in the documentation or resuest support
At the time of our product selection we identified better cross-browser compatibility and we estimated that turnaround for support was superior. At the time, the vendor had a higher positive feedback footprint among their user community.
Progress Telerik UI provides a large amount of language support, demos, and documentation. While the competition is still great in their own right, Progress Telerik UI has provided enough resources to cover a number of current and future projects without having to expand to other libraries.
Kendo UI has saved us a ton of time in development.
We were able to get certain things to market faster due to the fact that we didn't have to piece multiple libraries together like is so common with modern web development.
Because of the price of the library, however, we have not been able to purchase upgrades every year.
