Perfect integration with Vue
- It has a good redesign of the components we cannot find in other UI. I have even noticed a lot of improvement in the file upload component. Particularly, it has been very easy to make it work.
- It works perfectly with Vue. I have had no problems adding components.
- The ThemeBuilder is the best. You can customize the theme of the application without touching a single line of code. The results in examples are shown in real-time.
- They should improve the documentation on certain components, not all of them have well-detailed help.

Great UI toolkit
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review

- It is very simple to set up.
- Its API is extensive, incredibly well-documented, and grows regularly.
- It supports integration within multiple popular frameworks and libraries.
- Demos are extensive and easy to use.
- Custom functionality can be difficult and extensive to implement.
- Theme customization is limited to two choices: Overly complex LESS source, or very limited SCSS.
- With a direct license to the source, upgrading can be time-consuming and require a lot of retesting.
- Kendo does grids very well. The filtering and sorting features that come with grids has helped boost our development time.
- Kendo has exceptional support. We have always received answers to problems we've had. Not all of them were solved by support but they at least allowed us to figure out how to solve the problem in another way.
- The community forum is very good as well. Before contacting support, we consult the forums to see if someone has already solved the problem we're having. Support from the Telerik community is really good.
- At times it seems that there are performance issues with the grid. It could be that it is due to how data is structured and retrieved from the data source but most of the time it is quite responsive.
- There are times where more complex scenarios come up. Having some examples of more than just basic functionality would be nice.

Progress Kendo UI indeed a lifesaver for UI development.
- Components such as charts tables are of great help when it comes to software development.
- Documentation is good so it saves time and effort.
- It offers support for multiple JavaScript frameworks.
- Though, documentation is good . It still needs to cover all the scenarios.
- Upgrades are not easy since there is no proper communication regarding this.

Using Kendo UI with Angular
- Fast Kendo Grid
- Supports all form components
- Good integration with Angular

Kendo UI is life saver for developers
- Performance of Kendo controls is good. It is very easy to use ajax calls with kendo UI controls.
- If we do Restore nuget packages without setting nuget package folder path then it mess up everything and needs to spent ample time on it to fix it.
- It's quite difficult to find cons in Kendo UI. As it fits very good in all our scenarios.
- In 2020 version of kendo we fond lots of changes in CSS class which made breaking changes in UI. means most of the css classes are broken down in smaller ones. that time we faced more issue than earlier upgrade.

Good for UX and developers
- Kendo Grid for presenting a timeline. At first, the Kendo Grid was a bit light on features, but it has grown over the years and is quite full featured.
- Kendo Scheduler for presenting the upcoming calendar events.
- Kendo Treeview is used to present a hierarchy of topics that our users can navigate through easily.
- Kendo keeps adding features and works with newer frameworks. They never stop being relevant.
- I do find the datasource a bit challenging to use. It works well if you don't try anything wierd, but after that I feel like I am on my own.
- Database binding examples--more examples please.
- Certain UI components have not been updated in a while or are more difficult to customize.

Kendo UI is a robust performer, the web never looked better
- Rich charting components allow developers to easily bind web-service data to bar charts, line graphs, and multiple axis charts.
- Reusable component features such as Export to Excel, Save To PDF provide out-of-the box export ability.
- Great documentation, examples, large developer community. Online examples and documentation make it easy to identify how each component works, the different options for invoking components, and in-page manipulation using the Kendo Dojo (http://dojo.telerik.com/).
- Wizard and Forms widget are an excellent addition, long overdue, and now make Kendo an even better package
- Advanced data grid that includes editing, grouping, search, responsive rendering, filtering, column hiding, etc.
- Datagrid editing using combo boxes sourced from independent datasources is allowed and is a very common use case, but isn't as easy to configure as text box editing, or fixed option editing. Since the pattern for dynamic combo box editing is quite routine, this appears to be something that could be integrated better into the grid.
- I have recently begun using the tree view component and there appears to be room for improvement with document the number of potential structures of data that can be used. Since the options for using the tree view are varied, I would like to see more examples. I personally ran into issues where field names in the JSON payload ( such as "level") caused problems rendering the tree.

- Kendo Grid for presenting a timeline of research grants as they are being approved. Our users love the ability to export the data to various mime formats.
- Kendo Scheduler for presenting the upcoming calendar events in the available conference rooms in a building. This is used together with a 3rd party vendor API for appointment booking.
- Kendo Treeview is used to present a hierarchy of topics that our users can navigate through easily.
- Still some accessibility issues in some of the controls, we have to occasionally modify the markup to get past our accessibility requirements.
