Excellent Feature Set, Productivity increase in UI development
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
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.
- 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.
- The documentation site (not the demo site) sometimes leaves something to be desired, particularly if you are stepping out of the 90% usage scenarios.

Powerful software that is easy to use
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.
- Grid Data
- Graphs
- Reports
- Documentation is very poor.
- Need more code examples.
- The Carousel Control needs some vast improvements.
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.
- Prebuilt Blazor Components
- Helpful demos and documentation
- Reporting software
- Custom functionality within the components
- Less breaking changes between versions
- Updated documentation regarding devops pipeline implementation

We specifically use it for Blazor UI Components, across multiple projects in order to cut development time down.
- Scalability
- Easy to Duplicate
- Styling is messy and over complicated
- Updates can break existing components used in your code

Telerik UI reduces time and effort to build modern cutting edge UI
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.
- 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
- User support should be improved
- More Demo applications with code should be available hasselfree
- There should be a community edition

Easy and quick UI development of Dot Net apps with Progress Telerik UI
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.
- Good support from Telerik team on the issues faced
- Excellent Grid control options
- Multiple customizations for each UI component
- Excellent pre-built examples to meet and fulfill the design requirements
- Each control has multiple attributes. It becomes difficult to understand the functionality. If the team could provide some tooltip or documentation, it will help the engineers.
- Setting up nested grids is somewhat complex

A great time-saver
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.
- 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.
- Sometimes element customization takes longer than expected.

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.

Telerik UI is an awesome tools library
Telerik UI has been used in our company to speed up the development time. It is not used company-wide, but for every team that I have been on, I have made sure we use these tools because it is easy to learn.
- Easy to understand documentation.
- Fast development
- Very flexible
- Needs some improvement on DevOps documentation.

Great rapid prototyping UI enhancements
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.
- 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.
- Out-of-the-box performance on inferior hardware is lacking.
- Our industrial PC (2014 Celeron SoC) struggles to load views containing Telerik controls.
- Adjusting the nitty-gritty margins that are included with some of the controls requires manual adjustment.

Blazor Grids with Telerik
We are currently using the Telerik UI for Blazor to display grids and editable information to our users. We use it in quite a few pages of our web application and it allows us to unify and grid information without having to build a framework from scratch. We have mostly used the grids and paging.
- Grid works well and is versatile in a lot of situations.
- Great support.
- Way to get up and running.
- Tabbing from field to field not easy to implement for me.

Great tool for consistency
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.
- 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
- Nested grids (parent/child) can be tricky to set up but it's possible
- Telerik does provide a lot of documentation and examples but for a very specific use case you may have to trawl the help forum for a while
The Progress Telerik UI controls are used on several mostly e-commerce websites. It allows easy design and implementation of web pages, such as side settings and admin pages, as well as checkout and search results.
Progress Telerik UI's support of accessibility requirements such as keyboard shortcuts and screen-reader is essential.
Progress Telerik UI's support of accessibility requirements such as keyboard shortcuts and screen-reader is essential.
- Use of the grid, combo box, numeric controls for checkout display, and edit of shopping cart
- The grid control is useful for display of product lists and search results
- The combo box and dropdown list controls are useful in user profile settings
- Some of the controls have so many features, use of documentation may be required to identify required attributes.
- Setting up a grid with master and child hierarchy and other grid features like filtering and sub-setting can be challenging
- There are many examples on the Progress Telerik UI website to help with understanding but due to the features available, finding an example that matches the requirements of your design may be impossible.

Using Progress Telerik UI reporting is a no brainer
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.
- 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
- Some of the templates for performing functions could be simpler
- Some of the deprecated functionality works really well, but will eventually go away

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.
- 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.
- Sometimes the examples that are given in their documentation don't pertain to how we need to implement a solution, and getting some components to work how we need them to can be difficult. This is where Progress Telerik UI's amazing customer support has come in handy to help us work through our problem.
- Some components have some difficulty looking good on a small screen such as a phone.

Telerik UI: a valuable tool for web applications
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.
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.
- 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.
- More control over outlines/shapes.
- When Telerik introduced Kendo UI for Angular it was very slow to implement every component.
- Could be better in making some of the features responsive in small screens.
- Some examples are harder to understand because they work on their sample services.

Our new company standard
Progress Telerik UI is becoming a company standard to create UI, with more than 250 software products that are slowly transitioning to Progress Telerik UI controls and/or creating new forms from scratch.
- Themes: the uptime for the dark theme was very quick
- Lots of custom controls
- Replacing native .Net controls with Progress Telerik UI is very easy since the API is the same
- Demo app is a good discovery place
- Little API nuisances where you have to go deep down an element or implement a callback to get something that could just be a property
- Visual Studio extension is buggy
- Some of our users reported bad text rendering on their machines

Easy To Use, Great Theming, Rapid Development.
We are currently rewriting and converting our legacy Vb6 software into a modern framework using the Telerik UI software suite. Telerik UI has given us easily customizable and theme-able controls straight out of the box to rapidly develop our applications, all while maintaining a common UI for a great user experience.
- Ease of use.
- Great theming.
- Customizable.
- Not the greatest documentation.

My take on Telerik
It is being used in some applications across several departments of the company. The development groups that actually used Telerik products to develop software are spread across all main regions where the company has a presence.
- Support to the developers and community growing
- User controls for software development for Windows and web
- Extensive (although not as in depth as it should be) documentation
- The documentation articles. There should definitely be more "real life" examples.
- On some products, they should pay more attention on how the end users are going to actually use them.

Best Component Worldwide
We are a software developer company and we use many components within our organization. But one day Telerik appeared and I made the decision that we will switch from [another product] to Telerik. We are now using KendoUI and Telerik Reporting. We considered also using a CMS but at the end made the decision to go with Umbraco.
- Quality
- Support
- Many components and solutions
- When Telerik introduced Kendo UI for Angular it was very slow to implement every component
- The Gantt chart within Kendo and Telerik reporting - I would like that to get better

Telerik UI saves a lot of time spent in UI
We use Telerik UI for Grids, Date pickers, Multiselect inputs, and so on. We get to save a lot of time spent in UI and have uniformity in design. I really loved the Grid controls in recent versions for Blazor.
- Grid feature is very handy
- Responds very fast for the support tickets(within 24 hour)
- Did a very good job in the Blazor version overall
- Could be better in making some of the features responsive in small screens
- Adding custom controls on top could be a pain sometimes
October 14, 2020
Kendo MVC UI works well with large amounts of data
We use Kendo MVC UI to create forms for data entry and grids to display data. We have large amounts of data and some of the controls need to hold thousands of records. Kendo virtualization works well for this.
- It works well if you need to have a drop down control containing thousands of records. The virtualization feature only loads a small amount of data at a time and the type ahead allows users to quickly find the desired record.
- The grid functionality is better than most other comparable controls. The users like grouping, reordering, and hiding/showing columns.
- We ran into a defect several months ago. Telerik accepted the defect, but still hasn't provided a fix. There is no estimated time when it will be resolved.
October 14, 2020
Telerik DevCraft complete
We use DevCraft controls for a variety of our web applications (products we sell). UI for ASP.NET, UI for WinForms and Kendo UI are used heavily. 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. Documentation is better than industry average in my experience but leaves out details especially in areas related to security.
- Support.
- WCAG accessibility compliance.
- Difficulty skinning visual.
- Technical issues with visual studio designer integration.
