Kendo UI helped us build the software to allow collaboration, track workflow and securely manage massive amounts of documentation while also allowing us to quickly develop new 'on-demand' solutions that typically arise from each individual acquisition process. Without Kendo UI, we would have had to spend countless hours creating our own tools or trying to patch together disparate components into a cohesive framework.,Like many developers, we rely heavily on grids to display data. One of the real strengths of Kendo UI is the grid component. It provides immense flexibility and allows us to quickly and easily provide almost any kind of requested data view.
Recently, Kendo UI has expanded from being strictly jQuery based to include an Angular, React or Vue based version. By embracing this, we now have more options for developing software and are better able to utilize developer skills. Did I mention these versions are all free with the Kendo UI pro license? Definitely, a great thing not to have to hassle with licensing.
Kendo UI has over 70 components with a rich API set. The documentation for all of this, from API properties and methods to component overviews to 'how to use' examples is a truly great resource. In addition, there are now 'Getting Started' videos for all flavors of Kendo UI. All of this has made bringing new developers into the mix fairly easy as they have a huge ecosystem from which to learn Kendo UI.,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.,10,The core product we use to support government acquisitions is built with Kendo UI and this has been the primary reason we have been able to create several 'spin-off' projects, such as a grant management application and technical document libraries, with minimal effort. This new lines of business have been created due to the ease of use when developing with Kendo UI
Kendo UI has allowed to greatly speed up development. By utilizing the same framework across multiple projects, we can spend more time on requirements and requested features and less time on developing the same UI components repeatedly. In terms of numbers, we have been able to prototype new features in days rather than needing an entire sprint. This is very valuable to our customers who are often requesting new functionality while they are actively using our acquisition tools and speed is of importance.,As previously mentioned, Kendo UI has expanded from being strictly jQuery based to include an Angular, React or Vue based version. By embracing this, we now have more options for developing software and are better able to utilize developer skills. Beyond this, there are also .net versions and PHP/JSP versions as well. We have not had occasion to utilize any of these to date, but knowing they are available and we can take our Kendo UI skills to other platforms is nice to have in our back pocket.,The core mission of my team at Noblis is to provide software, tailored to need, to help document government acquisitions. Using Kendo UI to help build this has most certainly helped us develop new features for this product very quickly; sometimes in days vs weeks. An even greater benefit is that we have been able to pull pieces from one application to help build new ones. For example, we have built a grant submission and review application from core pieces of our acquisition application and only had to spend minimal time dealing with the things that Kendo UI provides for us; data grids, data entry components, data exports, etc. The entire application took less than 60 days to build, test and get to production. Kendo UI was a big part of that.Alan HurtKendo UI provides excellent user experience2018-09-18T14:43:22.613ZOur organization uses Kendo UI for a wide variety of applications.

Use Kendo.2018-09-06T01:58:50.425ZSpeed of development is number one. Out of the box features and ease of implementation allow me to suggest functionality to clients that otherwise would not approve because of the time and money it would take to do a custom implementation. Most fancy/slick UI interactions or advanced data views on a grid, for example, Kendo offers straight out of the box.,Datagrids - viewing tabular data in pretty much anyway is easy.
Although sometimes hard to find, the documentation and support is key and very detailed.,Since they make a ton of different versions of the same control, a combobox for example. Made for a myriad of different different tech stacks/libraries, finding the documentation for the one you are using can be annoying.,9,Kendo pays for itself with one project.,,React, TelerikBrett Ward
