Regular Developer Review of Kendo UI
We are using it in our web-based product SUPERLOAD to develop web interface (using HTML5 controls) for different product pages which mostly includes many product features. Kendo UI gives us the flexibility and control to display that data in many ways with all the various components that it provides. Kendo UI is a great product to save developer time and deliver a business class product. Being able to quickly add/remove/customize features to meet users' wants/needs on items has helped free up the development team's time to focus more on advanced design, rather than focusing on the basics.
- Easy front end implementation using the MVC controls in the views on the front end.
- Simple to create MVC controllers on the backend which can easily provide a meaningful context of the incoming HTTP request.
- Wide variety of tools available on the platform with good looking skins to choose from.
- Documentation lacks details for a lot of widgets.
- Some widgets are not too flexible.
- Demos/examples usually are too simple and you don't have day-by-day usage examples.

Kendo UI Review
One of the web applications that we develop has its controls developed using Kendo UI. Currently, it is used in two of the web applications in the department. Controls like drop-down list, text input, autocomplete, navigation, grid control, data sources, file upload, etc are being used there now. We like the tools also the support is great.
- Well organized data.
- Nothing to complain about so far. It has offered consistent improvement.
November 15, 2019
Smooth
It is used in several departments in our organization. It allowed us to go from 2 codebases to one code base while providing support for multiple browsers. We use it every day in the product team that I work with. New team members have been able to quickly come up to speed.
- Multiple UI components
- Grids
- No deficiencies for what we use it for.
November 14, 2019
Overall I Enjoy Kendo
It's being used in a few departments across the company. Its intention was to help facilitate the company by giving us components to use in Angular without us needing to create them ourselves. This allowed us to work more quickly and efficiently getting our software to the business.
- Documentation
- Component speed in large sets of data
November 14, 2019
Market Leader, Solid Choice
We use Kendo as the backbone of our Angular based, client facing applications. Primarily, this consists of charts and grids, which as a data service are extensive throughout the application. Clients log in to see our data on a regular basis, and the tools have to serve a wide range of platforms and browsers, and be quick and efficient on all fronts. Kendo does a strong job on this front.
- Grids
- Charts
- Angular 1.6+ support
- Map interactivity - heat maps in particular
- Speed is sometimes an issue

Kendo controls review
We use it in our web applications, both internal and externally facing. The grids enable us to sort data more effectively and access individual records more easily. The controls look more attractive to the user and most of them are more feature rich than standard controls.
- The grid handles sorting and filtering very well.
- The drop downs are very fast and attractive and easy to use and implement.
- The numeric text boxes are easy to implement and very customizable, replacing what we would otherwise have to use javascript for.
- CSS scripts order is a bit picky on the page.
- I wish you had a control to do what jQuery ajax method does.
- NumericTextBox should support zip codes and phone numbers.

Kendo UI: easy to use
We are providing software services and we are using Kendo UI along with other SDK for development purposes.

Also, we are using the Telerik Reporting for dynamic reporting.
- Consistent UI
- Wide range of frequently used controls
- Online demo and documentation
- They need to improve their documentation a bit.
- Need to add more controls like wizard control, etc.
- Expensive license

Great tool for a great user interface!
Telerik offers a powerful suite of tools we're looking for. It's kind of tools that are taking user experience to the next level and if you get stuck somewhere, the support team will help you out.
- Grid handles large data very easily.
- Overall tool is very user friendly.
- Charts display data that can easily readable.
- Should have support for every technology.

Kendo UI
We have a web application whose controls are developed using Kendo UI. It's currently used within our department for a couple of web applications. We are using controls like data picker, drop-down list, grid control, text input, autocomplete, file upload, navigation, bars, data sources, reporting controls, etc. The controls are a mix of ASP.Net MVC and Javascript API.
- Consistency in the API makes the use of the control easy.
- It almost has all the controls you may need to develop your application
- The user base is extensive so online help is easy.
- We see some performance issue with few controls, especially with the grids.

Kendo UI facilitates the development of elegant interfaces and streamlines deliveries.
We use Kendo UI for all new web developments using ASP.NET MVC. It has helped us a lot to expedite the front end development of our applications. It gives us greater versatility and improves user experience. The solutions we create depend on the company's business area, but in all areas they have had the opportunity to interact with an application that uses Kendo UI.
- Customization of controls
- Easy implementation
- A lot of online support on the use of controls
- Help expedite development times
- In the case of Grids in edit mode with the pop-up screen, they should be allowed to customize it directly and not using a partial view.
- We have had many problems with the dates but we believe that we need to dominate the issue of culture. If they could support us that part would make it easier.

Kendo UI is amazing and I love using their components in my UI
It is being used to streamline the application building process. Using the Kendo UI tools makes creating applications much faster and more reliable than trying to depend on some random third-party tools that we find on GitHub or GitLab. We could not imagine using any other tools for building our applications.
- User guides.
- UI components.
- Easy set-up.
- Minor bugs in the new technologies (like .Net Core).
- Demo code sometimes is lacking.

Kendo is being used to modernize our user interfaces, as well as to simplify our javascript ecosystem. It is being used across the entire organization in order to provide rich user interactions.
- The grid is by far the best grid system on the market. It is easy to customize, and there are a lot of good examples to use for starter code.
- The interactivity and UX of the controls are well-thought-out and consistent.
- The product integrates well into other ecosystems, and the libraries for .NET are fantastic.
- The product would benefit from a dockable container mechanism of some sort, similar to the docking containers built into Visual Studio.

Dynamic Grid - Ease of Use
I am currently using Kendo UI in just one application used for an individual unit of our business. I wanted the ease of use for the dynamic grid functionality. I wanted something slick and easy for my users - filtering, sorting, etc., on the fly. This tool has been a great addition and we continue to renew year after year.
