Telerik Rad Ajax controls have been widely used by users to rapidly develop applications and enhance them with a consistent user experience. By leveraging these controls, users have been able to deliver features quickly and efficiently, saving time and effort in the development process. The UI ASP.Net AJAX controls provided by Telerik have proven to be invaluable in creating screens and dashboards with a consistent look and feel, accelerating development time and enabling the addition of new features without extensive code work. Another notable use case for Telerik UI controls is their ability to replace Excel spreadsheets and associated graphics in internal line of business applications, providing users with an improved experience and requiring minimal customization. Users have also found the demos from Telerik to be excellent references for learning how to implement various functionalities, although some have mentioned difficulties in finding specific information outside of the demo examples on the documentation site. Overall, Telerik UI controls have greatly improved the UI experience for end-users while speeding up the development process with pre-built components and extensions.

Users have provided several recommendations for Telerik UI based on their experiences. Firstly, users suggest that Telerik UI is a good option for transitioning from conventional UI to modern UI. This recommendation indicates that the software provides a seamless and efficient way to update the user interface of an application or website.

Secondly, users recommend using the trial version of Telerik UI to assess its value before purchasing. This recommendation highlights the importance of trying out the software before making a commitment, allowing potential customers to understand its features and benefits firsthand.

Lastly, users suggest that Telerik UI is worth the price and can save development time. This recommendation implies that the software offers good value for money, providing tools and resources that can expedite the development process and increase productivity.

In summary, these recommendations indicate that Telerik UI is a viable solution for those looking to transition to modern UI, should be tried out via the trial version before purchasing, and offers good value and time-saving benefits. Small companies are also advised to consider the cost of Telerik UI before making a purchase decision.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the Progress Telerik control libraries to save time and simplify development of ASP.NET MVC and Blazor applications, and we're moving into using the MAUI pieces as well. Some controls feel like overkill, since the packages include things like textboxes - which DO have some minor extra features, but not enough to switch them out in my opinion. But it also includes advanced ones such as image editors, popovers, cards, skeletons, graphs and so much more that save tons of time when we develop any kind of LOB application.
Pros and Cons
  • Saves time
  • Scalable
  • Great advanced components and features
  • Easy reusability
  • Great support
  • Recurring and frequent updates
Likelihood to Recommend
As soon as you need more than the most basic of features in your application, chances are that Progress Telerik has you covered. Personally, we've used graphing and list components frequently, and reporting and input components more often than not. It can be a bit difficult to combine the layout of the Progress Telerik components with your existing, non Progress Telerik controls, but it's definitively doable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the Telerik UI ASP.NET AJAX controls on our intranet web-application software deployed to various automotive customers. The controls helped accelerate the creation of screens and dashboards with a consistent user experience. Further, the controls added features and functions without requiring boiler-plate code to be added (such as the Grid control providing filtering, sorting, and paging right out of the box without any additional code work). Other controls (such as the Tree Drop Down), provide great user experience with little to no additional customization required to get the web control to behave / present in the fashion we need. Finally, the demos from Telerik provide excellent references for determining how to do things. The only draw back is on the documentation side, where if you step out of the demo examples, it can be difficult to find the information you need on the document site, and determine what and why you need to something special. Overall, I would emphatically recommend the use of Telerik UI controls to vastly improve the UI experience for your end-users, and accelerate the development time involved in creating the User Interface screens.
Pros and Cons
  • Great Demos
  • Excellent out of the box features built right into the controls
  • Fast development time to go from nothing to fully functional UI
  • Accelerated cross-platform development (responsive web design)
  • Well moderated forums for getting questions answered
  • Steller support - questions are answered in a timely fashion and usually get right to the solution.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

I use Telerik UI to develop Web Based applications using MVC. The use of the software components is extremely easy and very powerful. The presentation of the data using the Grids/Graphs/Reports is the biggest selling point in showing our customers the software that was developed using the Telerik controls.
Pros and Cons
  • Grid Data
  • Graphs
  • Reports
Likelihood to Recommend
The use of the Telerik Data Grid to be able to data-mine is a very powerful tool. To be able to quickly sort, group, filter, and export data that is presented in the grid has been one of the major selling points we use in selling our software is that is was designed using the Telerik Data Grid.

We use Progress Telerik UI, specifically for Blazor in multiple applications throughout our company for both internal and external customers. The pre-built components are used for several areas of visualizing data and data manipulation.
Pros and Cons
  • Prebuilt Blazor Components
  • Helpful demos and documentation
  • Reporting software
Likelihood to Recommend
TileLayout is a quick way to setup customized dashboards for users Forms can inherit objects without having to spend a lot of time building out inputs. Charts are extremely easy to implement and broken up to help simplify customization. The CSS file is extremely large and needs to be slimmed down and simplified to allow multiple elements to use single a css class instead of multiple elements using multiple classes.

We use Progress Telerik UI for many of our commercial applications as well as custom-built applications. I like the completeness of the suite as I rarely have to go outside of the suite for UI components. We use Winforms, WPF, Xamarin, MVC and ASP/WebForms. Because we drift between the many platforms and webforms, I like that there is a familiar feel when switching between something like a web app and a desktop app when dealing with a grid for instance. I like the Progress Telerik UI control panel to manage versions that I have installed on various platforms.
Pros and Cons
  • Regular updates. I know I can expect updates that contain not only bug fixes but additional features. The quarterly updates are at the right interval and can be built into a management plan.
  • Examples. The supplied examples are incredibly useful, and often provide ideas on how to approach a UI design. I often pull up the examples and use them to show the team when we are spitballing ideas on a UI design.
  • I find license management to be simple to use and manage. I like the discounts for early renewal.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for web apps that need rich UIs that can utilize modern browsers Well suited for thick desktop apps with moderately powerful PCs. Well suited for presenting great dashboards, and the rad grid is second to none. Great for creating HMIs. Not so well suited for old browsers or on low-powered windows pc running thick apps. Such as a windows based tablet. Tablets running windows

We use Telerik UI in our enterprise software solutions built on top of WPF and ASP.NET MVC. It reduces our time building user interface from scratch by our own so we decided to use cutting edge Telerik UI to fast track our development and delivery process. Using Telerik user interface it does not need more expertise rather your current resources can take care of the migration from native to Telerik UI.
Pros and Cons
  • It reduces lot of time building modern UI
  • It has rick library of UI controls, Grids, and Charts to use in enterprise applications
  • Rich reporting tools
Likelihood to Recommend
It suits in enterprise software applications to reduces time building user interface from scratch and rather using cutting edge Telerik UI to fast track the development and delivery process. It has feature rick reporting tools which is most attractive in term of if you have lots of reporting in your application. Small companies may find it difficult to use due to its cost.

Pros and Cons

  • Good quality UI components
  • Great UI control performance
Likelihood to Recommend
If all you need are good-quality UI components, then Telerik is an excellent choice. Great performance. Excellent support. If you need to work with PDF files, be very careful: the Document Processing for PDF is very immature compared to offerings from other major vendors. Many limitations with digital signatures. Also: documents you generate will have MASSIVE file sizes that your users will complain about. Our organization is in the process of replacing Telerik with Syncfusion controls because they also have excellent UI components but have a stronger PDF offering (our generated PDFs with Syncfusion are between 10~50kB whereas with Telerik they are 500kB~7.5MB).

We have used Progress Telerik UI to build aesthetic and modern user interfaces for Dot Net based web and desktop applications. It has enabled us to fasten the process for UI design and development with the help of pre-built components and extensions. It is embedded easily with Dot Net based applications and allows for a ton of customizations in the UI as per the requirement of the client.

  • Excellent Grid control options
  • Multiple customizations for each UI component
  • Excellent pre-built examples to meet and fulfill the design requirements
Likelihood to Recommend
Progress Telerik UI is one of the best web design and development solutions for Dot Net based applications. It has extensible support for ASP.NET Core, C#, WCF, and ASP.NET WebForms.

We are using this tool to develop MVC applications throughout our entire organization. Designing became more flexible with the use of this tool. It provides great support for Angular, MVC, React, and Vue development. It provides a light-weighted framework that takes less time to compile. Kendo provides a lot of built-in HTML elements which are easy to use and require much less coding to create any elements. It can easily be customizable as needed. Moreover, it also provides reporting tools that help generate reports and can be easily integrated with PDF, Excel, or CSV.
Pros and Cons
  • Easy to configure with application.
  • It provides flexibility for complex grid customizations.
  • Takes less time for quick development UI elements.
  • UI is very responsible, which can be viewable in any device.
  • Great support from Telerik team. It only takes 24 to 48 hours to resolve your issues.

[Progress Telerik UI is] suited for rapid development, along with quick integration for any web application like ASP.NET, MVC, Core, Angular, React, etc. It is not suited for Windows applications.

Started using the Telerik rad ajax controls, because of the rapid app development impact. Whilst you could write all the controls by hand, this offered consistency and product support, unlike https://material-ui.com/ components that are partially documented and not fully tested. So if you are focused on delivering features then [Progress] TelerikUI is great, but it looks like Telerik /Office 365 controls, so very familiar to the user. If you want to be unique then less good. Of late I used it to generate many internal line of business applications, replacing Excel Spreadsheets and associated graphics. It's very speedy in doing that.
Pros and Cons
  • Support
  • Testing
  • Demos and examples
  • Framework support
Likelihood to Recommend
The key feature is Rapid Application Development with a focus on Internal Line of Business applications - Business digitization. Assume your company has less than 5 developers and you are either fire-fighting or quickly solving problems, where the solutions have to work on all browsers, meet all standards because you don't have the resources to do it. You are paying for their technical support, their extensive testing as you don't have the time, if you want it to follow conventions e.g. BootStrap or Material Design out of the box, then that is just a selection.
Less good at creating a UI that is very different [from] everybody else, e.g. must not look like BootStrap or Material or AppleUI.

We were able to rapidly prototype and develop a concept application for our new hardware. We needed a way to allow users to move fixed elements around a screen, similar to PowerPoint, and [Progress Telerik UI] had an out-of-the-box solution ready to go. We anticipated this would have required at least two person-months to replicate.
Pros and Cons
  • Telerik enables rapid application development for the demonstration of concepts.
  • It provides a good set of themes and functional additions to a UI development environment.
  • Each control is packed with valuable features.
  • The support team is responsive and very knowledgeable about making their product work in whatever situation you need.

[Progress Telerik UI] is well suited to rapid application prototyping and demonstration of UI concepts with good customization and theming options. It struggles on inferior hardware such as dated single board computers.

Progress Telerik UI is currently in use in a few different internal websites (internal to our users) that serve several departments. It's very helpful in keeping web UI elements styled consistently across sites and applications, and we have used it for the efficiency of out-of-the-box tools and controls when we don't need to customize things too much for a use case.
Pros and Cons
  • Use of out of the box tools and controls, like grids and combo boxes
  • Numeric controls are great for limiting users to valid input
  • The combo box is great for multi-select options
Likelihood to Recommend
It's a great set of controls and tools for getting websites set up, especially for common business use cases. The controls are updated fairly regularly and as NuGet packages, so they're pretty easy to keep current in a solution if you need to. The controls are available for a lot of different environments, too.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Progress Telerik UI is a central component to web services and reporting. It works very well at doing exactly what we need it to do. Like any piece of software, you can run into a snag, but the company is very responsive when that happens. The forum knowledge base is also pretty deep. There is a good chance of finding what you need on the forum, or at least someone to point you in the right direction. Support tickets are a step up from that when you need a quicker answer.
Pros and Cons
  • The Visual Studio integration, including performing updates, is done very well
  • The toolbox and customization is thought out
  • The look and feel for the end user is pleasant
Likelihood to Recommend
Using Progress Telerik UI reporting instead of finding your own path is almost a no brainer. The report creation is similar to products like Crystal Reports. You create your query, plug in the variables, then place fields. You can easily set grouping, sorting, headers, and footers. You can even include SQL comments in the query.

The best way to get people to love your development team!

Progress Telerik UI allows my team and I to integrate complex UI components into our applications with ease. All of the heavy lifting is done by the Telerik UI components, which allows the development team to focus on solving business requirements rather than troubleshooting buggy code. The most heavily used application with Telerik UI components in it is our internal CRM application. It is used by our sales and retention staff.
Pros and Cons
  • The biggest strength is that it abstracts complex component-based coding, allowing our team to focus on solving business requirements.
  • The customer support is second to none. We've utilized customer support numerous times to help us solve complex requirements.
  • We really like the ease of integration with Microsoft Office products such as Word and Excel.
Likelihood to Recommend
We needed to implement a complex hierarchy tree within a grid so our sales staff can see how accounts are related. We also needed to return many rows of data. Telerik UI components saved the day for us. We have also found that if you have many components on a screen, it tends to slow down Visual Studio and even bloats the DOM code in browsers.

My organization uses it for our proprietary technology projects. We support various transportation agencies around North America, Canada. We help them optimize their OSOW billing solutions. We are able to provide simple yet informative GUI for their users. The target user group belongs to blue collar group, so it was very important for us to make the GUI user friendly and faster. Telerik has enabled us to make our products sturdy and extremely user friendly.
Pros and Cons
  • Flexible and easy to customise window control.
  • Drag and Drop box, Combo box, buttons images the grid customization is good.
  • Easy to add data visualization with treeview and json.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is easy to learn. I am new to it, I am comfortable with it in a short span. It has pretty solid cross browser compatibility.
It provides great GUI with less programming effort. That makes it highly cost effective in price sensitive deployment areas.
It is very well suited for web based applications with multiple web pages.

Pros and Cons
  • Multiple platform Support.
  • Extensive library catering almost all the needs.
  • Impressive after sales support.

We are using Telerik for product called Superload which is used in US. We are using Telerik for making UI standard through out the product.
We are using Telerik Grid for add, edit and Delete functionality. Using Grid Toolbar for export functionality. Using Text box mask property for Zip code formats. Using File upload control for uploading files from UI. Using cascading drop downs at some places.
Pros and Cons
  • Telerik Grid is very useful for CRUD operations on database. We can provide grid toolbar with Add, Edit and Delete buttons. It works perfect.
  • Text box with mask, mask property is like gift we just need to mention formats for input that software wants to accept from User. We use this for Zip codes. US has different zip code formats as compared to Canada. so it make easy just by setting mask.
  • Panel bars, On many web pages we have used panel bars to group related controls together. So UI looks beautiful and user can see all related control together in same section. Panel bar collapse and expand works just fine.
Likelihood to Recommend
For CRUD operation, Grid is best option UI and functionality wise. Before in old version of our product there was asp.net grid which was quite difficult maintenance wise but in new version of product it's easy as we are using Kendo grid. UI is very much loved by our Users.
Overall User loves the UI of our product. So we are doing good business.

Telerik UI is used in some of the web applications in my organization.
Mostly we use Kendo controls to display data on UI.
The controls save us tons of time or would take to build equivalent user experience from scratch. All of these have worked well and support has been fast and generally helpful.
Pros and Cons
  • Good documentation of all controls.
  • Controls are very easy to use.
  • Online examples are well thought out and coded.
  • Their support is generally quick to response. And is always thorough.
Likelihood to Recommend
The Kendo UI controls for jQuery helped me al lot, this was with the ASP.NET controls for jQuery.
The upside of Progress Telerik UI for controls instead of another is the huge community. If you have an issue with one of the controls there is always an answer available in the community.
It's well suited for rapid development.
