  • 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.

  • Though features are rich in the controls, some times the features don't co-exist properly, for example, grid features like virtual scrolling with editing capabilities and column freeze features. This could be improved.
  • Performance of the controls could be improved to match up to handle large data that other vendors are providing in the market. Specifically for Grid and Chart controls.
Kendo UI is more appropriate in the following cases: When multiple type of controls (like Grid, calendar, charts, date time picker, etc.) are required in the project/product; With common look & feel and common design & interfacing standards; Better productivity by reducing pain points on managing multiple vendor controls.

Less appropriate in the scenario where you would like to get extra ordinary behavior/results like performance rather than rich feature set.

It's well suited for smaller development teams looking to deliver on a tight schedule.
As for any toolkit, it's important to establish development standards that everyone adheres to.
Less appropriate for teams that need to control every detail of the UI. The CSS is not super intuitive to tweak, and sometimes near impossible. If you require 100% control of the look and feel, this product may not be right for you.

We are using Kendo UI to develop an internal solution and an external [option] for our customer solution. We are integrating Kendo UI for our business software solution in RHH, retail business etc. All our solutions are using the Progress UI Tool Set for web applications and smart device apps. Kendo UI has a platform of different flavors of JavaScript: jQuery, react, NativeScript, Angular and Xamarin too.
  • With Kendo UI it's easy to build an Angular solution.
  • Kendo UI is easy to install.
  • With Kendo UI it's fast to build simple Android apps.
  • Kendo UI is easy to integrate with Microsoft IDE and others.
  • The Progress Tool Set easily integrates with Kendo UI.
  • Kendo UI can improve the Chart Controls with a more modern style like 3D or 2D models.
  • Kendo UI can improve integrating the Camera Controls Android an iOS, for example, to scan documents.
  • Kendo UI can improve working collaboratively with a design prototype together with stakeholders.
Kendo UI is well suited:
  • When you need fast results
  • When you need to minimize a CL (Curve of Learning)
  • When you need answers across a project if you have some problems or mistakes

Kendo UI is also well suited for companies that need to improve digital transformation with less cost and less time.

Kendo UI Review: "Good components and easy implementation"

We use Kendo UI in our research and development department for new frontend solutions developed in Angular. There are many components that we use, for example, the grid, the calendar, the inputs, and charts. Our solutions are customer oriented and address analytical and transactional needs; our main business sector is banking, credit cards, and smart customer service assistance.
  • The technical customer service is really good; they attend to the questions in a short time.
  • The product updates are often and valuable.
  • The technical documentation and examples.
  • The price scheme results expensive for a growing company.
For us, Kendo UI is well suited for web applications like MVC transactional and non-transactional projects, and for new frontend consoles developed in Angular because there are many components that we can use to improve the user experience. But for mobile apps, we feel that the integration is a little hard and not as natural as we wish.

Speed 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.
Kendo is great for internal corporate applications that deal with lots of data. I probably wouldn't use it on a public facing application where data is not a huge part of the website.

We have used the Kendo UI framework in a number of applications and internal products. We have two back-end developers that use the product on a regular basis. Kendo has allowed up to add a bunch of really cool features without needing a bunch of different libraries.
  • Their documentations is one of if not the best in the industry.
  • They are always adding and improving features.
  • Customer support and community support is outstanding.

Currently, we have implemented KendoUI in a single department on a single product. The product is a web application with internal and external users. It has helped us solve the issue we had with providing an easy way for the end user to view, sort, filter large amounts of data in a single view.
  • Flexibility to customize components to meet business requirements
  • The support for the product is very robust - the documentation, coding examples and tech support department
  • Very broad component tool set
  • Backwards compatibility issues have been a problem in the past. This seems to be getting better with the more recent versions.

We currently use a variety of Telerik/Progress tools for our application development. This includes WPF and Kendo (jQuery/Angular).

I have found the WPF tools to be quite helpful and a massive time saver. The Angular tools seem to be very immature in comparison to the jQuery ones however what it there is very helpful.
  • Their Angular JS integration makes using their tools on the web quite easy.
  • Their comprehensive WPF tools and similar APIs for all components makes learning the tools quite easy.
  • Their support for many platforms and environments means the tools can be used in almost every situation.
  • It is sometimes difficult to find meaningful documentation for certain components. This means if you want to do something that they don't have a prebuilt example for then it make be difficult to figure out how.
  • Unless you file a support request they are sometimes slow to respond in the forums. Some response is frankly better than no response.
  • Sometimes the approved way of doing things is in contradiction to the approved way of the framework itself. For instance originally their WPF tools required non-standard ways to get them working correctly.
Overall Kendo/Progress tools are a definite time saver and give us a leg up on our application development. I have used them for many years and will continue to do so.

Other tools have similar features, in some cases, however, I believe Telerik is the best choice in terms of cost and overall usability.

We use Kendo UI for the development of our new product, fully developed in a web environment.
Since 2013 we have been using Kendo and keep electing year after year.
The implementation issues we have had were quickly answered, using the ticket system for support in 24 or 48 hours we have an answer.
  • It has robust objects to process data remotely with our REST service.
  • It has a lot of widgets. The visual and graphic components are very powerful and easy to use.
  • They constantly progress by adding more functionality and a better product.
  • Online support responds correctly and quickly.
  • It allows you to extend the components or create new components in an easy way.
  • It would be good if they offered the possibility of paying for customized improvements.
  • It would be very useful to present training for subscribers
I really have not found scenarios where it would not be appropriate to use Kendo UI.

We use the Kendo UI controls on our ecommerce websites. For example, the checkout pages use the grid for showing and editing the user's cart. Other controls we use include increasing or decreasing a cart item's quantity using the numeric textbox control. Uploading files with the upload control allows drag and drop functionality. Controls are relatively easy to use, though they can get complex for some features of the grid such as master/detail, templates, etc.
  • The grid control previously mentioned
  • The editor control to add a content manager feature
  • The TreeView control is useful for a familiar UX
  • Documentation is good but more would be better
  • Examples of implementation are helpful - include more diverse examples for an array of scenarios. As mentioned, I used a grid for my site's shopping cart. A full-featured checkout experience using the grid and other controls would have helped. For example, changing the quantity of a line-item could automatically adjust the extended price, subtotals tax, totals, etc.
  • Additional descriptions of how controls could better be accessible (Aria, form labels, etc.)
The Kendo suite is full-featured, documented, and a useful forum and sample code are all available.

The Kendo UI suite has completely serviced our web development needs over the past 5 years. The control suite has been comprehensive and robust enough that we haven't had to look at other competitor suites. The controls are relatively straightforward to implement and when we've had trouble, the documentation and online support have been very reliable. I'd work with the Kendo suite again in a heartbeat, and recommend it to any company looking to reduce development costs and overall time to market.
  • Online community with elaborate documentation.
  • Seamless JS integration and easy to get started.
  • Robust control suite that is state-of-the-art at a reasonable cost.
  • Some of the version upgrades have introduced collisions with CSS or jQuery, which has taken time for us to troubleshoot and resolve.
Kendo is well suited for any typical web control or data visualization need.

Kendo UI is used on all of our client-side web applications, because of its vast library of pre-built components. Its out of the box functionality greatly reduces development time and improves our efficiency.
  • Timely customer service and support

  • Documentation is a bit difficult to read and could be more thorough
Quickly building our front-end web application. Comes with simple and clean styling out of the box. I think Kendo UI has its place in most modern front-end web applications, if you're looking for a component library with good support.

We use Kendo UI as the basis for our web application development. We utilize both Kendo UI JavaScript widget controls as well as the Kendo ASP.Net MVC controls. The Kendo UI suite allows us to quickly create web applications that are a mixture of data visualization and tabular grid data that our users consume on a daily basis.
  • The Kendo UI grid is at the core of nearly every web page we develop. The offline capabilities as well as the ease of configuration make this control a must have.
  • The Kendo UI date pickers, multi-selects, and drop-downs allow us to quickly create forms for user input that are easy to configure and have a great look and feel.
  • The Kendo UI calendar widget has been something I've been able to extend capability on and really make it my own. This is the beauty of the Kendo UI controls, you can use them as-is out of the box or you can add your own uniqueness to them.
  • The Kendo UI error logging could be a bit better. I'd like to see more detail logged to the console when we have JavaScript issues.
  • I'd like to be able to more easily extend some of controls functionality. The multi-select is something I'd rather see as a drop-down list with check boxes or at least have that as an option.
  • Kendo UI should do more to be out of the box mobile friendly as it relates to the UI. As much as the Kendo UI library does now it would be very beneficial for the library to have capabilities to automatically render based on the screen size without the need of media queries or other CSS/JS hacks.
Kendo UI is very well suited for development teams of all sizes but possibly more so for development teams with younger or less experienced software developers. The examples online as well as other documentation allow for those with less experience to get up and running in no time. I would say that Kendo UI may not be well suited for teams that wish to go their own way and build everything in-house. Kendo UI suitability depends on the whole team buying in.

  • It took a bit too long for the KendoReact version to become available.
Kendo UI is well suited to support creation of responsive user interfaces with very little effort. We can add tables, input boxes, dropdowns, charts and graphs quickly. It is quite stable and works across many different browsers and devices so we don't have to worry about creating specific builds for specific devices.
