Chose Progress Kendo UI
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.

It seems that Kendo UI is most complete tool of the market. Moreover, the documentation and examples seems to be better than other competitors. They always tries to bring the best in class UIs, even with new overcoming technologies. Rarely I see a bug in the system, that brings …
Chose Progress Kendo UI
I briefly looked at Vaadin but the cost was higher, and look-and-feel seemed archaic. Google developers toolkit seemed to have too many dependencies and poor documentation.

I have never seen a good drag-and-drop designer for web development aside from Adobe's legacy product …

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 have tried Component One's stuff as well as jQuery UI. Component One is good for their grids, but it is easy to get behind with them. jQuery UI just looks stodgy. We also looked at EXT for a bit, but it was too proprietary.

I have worked with Angular Material and Bootstrap …

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.

Cons
Progress Software Corporation
  • 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.

Usability
Progress Software Corporation
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

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

Return on Investment
Progress Software Corporation
  • 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.
