Chose Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition
They are basically on par, but the docs and in general, including support, Telerik is a bit superior. I find it to be better in terms of user-friendliness and also better polished UI wise, I mean, overall they just look better and offer somewhat better themes/skins to all the …

Yes, I use another framework at the same time. I am going to be very honest: the other framework is very good. There are two aspects, one positive and other negative: - The positive aspect of the other framework is the execution time. Is more faster than Syncfusion Essential …

Telerik is similar in content and functionality. I used it for 1 yr and switched to Syncfusion based on price. I have never considered going back to Telerik

Quite same but that documentation... Keep it as good as it is now.
Chose Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition
Syncfusion is a clear winner over what Telerik has to offer in functionality, rapid development and hands down on support. I disliked how Telerik decides if they will fix reported bugs or suggested product enhancements. Syncfusion in my opinion is far more cost effective as …

Currently using it but we will do more research on D3
While the more expensive to use for a small shop(for example syncfusion is free to start), the quality paid for itself in no time flat. Other options are either half baked, have lock in and will become quite expensive once you hit a treshhold, or plain simply didn't mesh with …

I purchased Telerik because its components seemed great and were priced more attractively than Syncfusion. Unfortunately, after hitting major product limitations with Telerik's Document Processing for PDF I now find myself migrating from Telerik to Syncfusion. This has been an …
Telerik Support (pre-progress) is awesome, way better than Infragistics or Syncfusion. Syncfusion is a little cheaper. They all have Grid components (like Excel) then there are a few edge cases of having different controls to another to show off. Once you know what UI tech you …

Chose Progress Telerik
Progress Telerik UI ultimately had the smoothest/lowest learning curve for developers and it's an established product that incoming team members likely have some experience with.
The datagrid is probably their most popular control I would think. It is so flexible and configurable. Most of mine are plain views in ASP.NET Core, but I have a whole bunch that are dynamically created at runtime in my controller. That is so powerful.
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.
The functionalities of the grids are very awesome. Withe then, the user interacts naturally with the system.
The support of the framework is one of the best and mora faster than I know, congrutalions for that.
I think one of the best options is the multiple versions to download. With that, it dose not matter what operation system or type of develop you are going to use, this framework is ver good.
Sometimes links point to dead addresses in the documentation.
Some components have a difficult learning curve but that is usually due to the complexity of the control.
Minor version changes introduce breaking changes, for example updating from 20.1.x to 20.2.x gives us licensing errors, which in my opinion is a kind of breaking change as it requires all users to update their licenses.
Theming with CSS variables is not possible. Access to Theme Studio code is not possible. So a fully custom solution is needed to make Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition components themeable with CSS variables.
It takes effort to include a new component library into existing software, especially in our case where we have 5 large applications that are written and maintained by about 100 developers. So changing such a core thing comes with a lot of effort. The other reason we will very likely renew our use of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition is that it works really well and has helped us to speed up the development process.
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.
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.
Although I have decades of software development experience, I had never created a website from scratch before, and my html and css skills are not particularly strong. Between documentation and incredible dedication from the support team they helped me overcome all of my challenges. It's amazing that they typically create sample code for most of the issues that I submitted. On rare occasions where I uncovered a defect they kept me informed as to its status, and typically resolved it in a short-term release, and/or gave me a reasonable workaround. They hopped on zoom calls with me on multiple occasions when necessary.
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.
Firstly, there is a free version for small businesses and it allows you to jump start without risk. I found one of the other products a bit short in the number of out-of-the-box supported events handlers for each control and, although you can manually add them, I feel more comfortable to just have them ready. After using the free version I just felt in love with Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition controls and decided to stay with them; they have all I need and more. The usage of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition controls is straightforward and intuitive. Support is world-class even for the free version; you get answers in 24 hours at most. Also, the support team is ready to remotely connect to your project in case it is needed; we have had one situation like this, and the issue was solved.
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.
First of all, I think the best positive impact is the reduce of time development. I do not know exactly how much time, but certainly, using the framework we save a lot of effort and time.
About negative impact, sometimes using the controls of the framewrok have a signifcant impact in the execution time and page load.
And of course, the use of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition has a significant impact of the learning of javascript and JQUERY.
