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
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.
  • 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.
  • I'd like to see the radwebcam include the ability to read/decode barcodes or QR codes and possibly raise a barcode read event.
  • The visual studio add-in takes a while to load, so I constantly get the slow add-in warning from visual studio 2022
  • some of the winform controls seem to have poor performance such as carousel.
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 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
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.

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.
  • Support
  • Testing
  • Demos and examples
  • Framework support
  • Pricing
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 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.
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.

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.
[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.

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.
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.

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
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.

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.
  • 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.
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 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
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.

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.
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 are using Telerik product from 8+ years mostly for web application development. Telerik UI have helped us to speed up the development and release cycle. The stability of the component has helped us to provide with stable and consistent user experience to the users. Support for various platforms have also helped us to look into Telerik library before trying out something else.
  • Multiple platform Support.
  • Extensive library catering almost all the needs.
  • Impressive after sales support.
  • Notification about new releases.
  • Provide Tryout for other platform as well like .net
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.

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.
  • 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.
  • After upgrade we faced issue with old version controls. There were some breaking changes in controls behavior.
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.

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
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.

We use it within our entire organization. It is used in our business applications both internal and external. Our clients enjoy the visual UI appearance and the functionality and flexibility of the controls. As for business problems, it makes implementation easier because it contains a lot of functionality built into the controls that we would have to otherwise write ourselves.
  • The numeric text boxes provide validation and ensure only numbers can be entered without having to write javascript code.
  • The datepicker control offers a very feature rich calendar that meets all of our client needs and I don't have to add any javascript code.
  • The grid is incredibly feature rich, with paging and sorting and filtering built in and I don't have to add any server side code to perform these functions.
  • I find the dropdownfor control is very easy to implement and is richer than the standard control and easier to customize
  • I wish the order of scripts were not so particular. You absolutely have to load the external scripts in the correct order to implement due to the range of icons that are used in some of the controls, like the grid.
  • I wish there were more formatting options for text boxes for things like zip codes and social security numbers.
  • It would be nice to be able to just add a script file and css file to the end of whatever external files we are already loading. Kendo tends to be very picky about this part.
  • I would love to see telerik offer report controls
  • It would be nice for telerik to offer complete basic forms
We use a lot of forms that include dates, numeric inputs, drop downs. We also use a lot of grids to present groups of data to our clients. Along with this, the grids allow sorting and filtering. Our clients love that kind of stuff. In addition, the controls are much prettier than the standard .Net controls.
