Progress Telerik UI

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. It overall improves the design structure for the applications and provides multiple customization options to meet the requirements of clients and end-users.

The support material and documentation provided by the Progress Telerik UI team are really good and insightful. But the micro options and tool utilities still lack some meaningful and more useful examples and information. Overall we are happy with the support.

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.

Telerik UI support is what you are paying for.
If something does not work you ask them for an example of how to solve your use case.
The SEO on their sites is awesome and so well bedded into Google.
The videos are good, [they're] not used much but their examples and DoJo examples make all the difference.

These tools are amazing for being able to get up and running in your project fast. It also makes some UI components much easier to implement. I particularly like the Grid because I use it everywhere.

Progress Telerik UI is best suited if you are staring an application from scratch

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).

[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.

The Telerik website provides detailed documentation of each HTML control with a number of examples of the methods and events. It also provides how-to integrate controls into your application. It only took 24 hours to resolve my queries.

[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.

Telerik support is very knowledgeable and can adapt to the specific question at hand. Their examples are always well explained and they typically provide customized support solutions for your specific problem. I have never felt like they were responding based on a script. Their communication skills in English are superb.

Progress Telerik components are easy to use for dashboards, different types of reports. Telerik Progress components are easy to use on web forms, MVC framework web applications, and Single page applications

did not had any training

Progress Telerik UI support of several Microsoft technologies such as MVC, ASPNet web forms, Blazor, DotNet Core, JavaScript, WCF, etc. eases cross-development. The controls are updated at least quarterly and available as NuGet packages to allow you to easily update your project with current versions which may add new functionality and/or fixes.

Progress Telerik UI customer support is pretty good. The ticketing system allows a thread of questions, answers, and attachments of code and screenshots. Response time is fairly quick and often has code snippets or pointers to online examples that could be relevant.

There is a large amount of community support forums to get answers or post questions. In addition there is a forum of posted code samples for the various controls.

The Progress update tool easily tells you what products have been updated and allows you to install the updates on your development system. Release notes can be displayed to see what's new.

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.

I mentioned before that their support group is very responsive. I once ran into an issue with a recent release. When I checked on the forum they already has a solution and a new release fixing the issue. In the eight years I've been using it, I've only created two support tickets.

This is great if you are new to Blazor and need to get things up and running quickly. It also allows for cohesiveness across the application. Great for displaying editable info for the user.

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.

Support has been prompt and thorough, no complaints.

For serving data in table format the grid is very powerful with it's toolbar.

They gives response to the support tickets but it takes few days to give the response. It can be improved.

It works great for web application which is not that data intensive. Also works great when your page application does not have a layered layout.
It easily adopt to mobile layout if implement properly making you applications layout easy to maintain.If you are not developing web application then this is not for you.

The help and sample are really great you can just follow the implementation DOJO and use it in your application. The content are detailed and precise especially javascript framework. All possibilities are accurately demoed to make them close to real life situation. The online also at times help to troubleshoot the issue you may run into and make it easy to communicate to the support team.

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.

After upgrade in 2020 we were facing one issue which we were not able to solve(functionality was not working as before and we wanted it exactly same so that our users feel same as before). So we create Issue with Telerik and we got time to time support from Telerik team and we were able to that issue. Telerik Team provided great support.

Support is very responsive and normally replies within 24 hours. Very detailed and helpful replies.

We wanted to give our users a customized experience and feel which they could own. Being able to drag and drop controls and have them automatically themed with and have all the controls uniform was amazing for us. Our users are able to select which theme is best for them depending on which screen or resolution they are using. it gives them a great experience.

Sometimes there is a "lost in translation" with Telerik. Their documentation sometimes feels incomplete and their forums are sometimes like finding a needle in a haystack. Logging tickets has always been fine and we do get quick response times. But you can tell sometimes the developers or answers are written in a way that English isn't their first language.

Developing LOB applications to support businesses in enterprises. The enterprise LOB application is the natural ground for Telerik products. There is also room for it on the mobile market, especially when we are talking about Controls for Xamarin.

On the other end, "normal" websites that need to be filled with very polished, eye-catching designs, are not a good place for Telerik products.

It's well suited when you have large amounts of data with complicated dependencies. JQuery UI would be a better choice if you just need to create simple forms.

Support is very responsive and normally replies within 24 hours. My only complaint is that we are still waiting for a resolution for a defect we found.

Web development is solid. Some tools like the reporting or now abandoned object relational mapping tool were quite poor. UI for WinForms needs lots of custom event code for nesting controls. JustDecompile is a great free tool that everyone should use.

Very detailed and helpful replies (email) . Responses were under 2 hours in most cases in my experience. Support quality is the best of any organization I've dealt with. Handling of security issues was particularly well handled.

We have large amounts of data that need to be reviewed at once. We used their grid control to manage the view and scrolling of the data. Users appreciate the ability to change the number of rows per page. Developers appreciate the ease of use of the controls.

When we have needed their help, Telerik support was prompt and thorough with helping us.

When you develop a web-based solution within .net there is no other way to use any different component. When you want to add reporting you can take from the same component suite and continue development with the same ecosystem. In my opinion they are winning thanks to very professional support and I think that if they don't mess it up they will continue to be successful.

They have the best support from every components that we use, from the other site they are making better and better components and documentation, so we using less and less support,
on top there is bigger community of companies that are use telerik, so usually there is already answear within internet and we don't have rise a ticket

It's very helpful for a development team who don't want to spend a lot of time in UI.

They usually respond within 24 hours, and problem-solving rate is good

Any sort of data intensive applications or reports where grids or charts are needed.

They have helped me every time that I have submitted tickets or questions.

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.

We have used customer support on numerous occasions over the years. They have been extremely helpful in showing us how to implement their components to solve our business problems. They have been very prompt and have even given us working examples so we can copy/paste the code. Customer support has helped us get out of a jam numerous times.
