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.

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.
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.
  • Controls come with a lot of built in features. For example, the Grid control has built-in Filtering, Sorting and Paging for data.
  • Great demos that showcase a variety of usage scenarios
  • Cost-effective bundles providing a wide range of platforms to use and implement similar functionality.
  • Documentation site is somewhat lacking. So if you step out of the usage scenarios of the demos, you will find the learning curve steep.
The Telerik controls were just easier for us to use and implement. Our evaluation of control packages was over 9 years ago, so it is hard to recall the major differences. Generally, the team preferred what Telerik had to offer, particularly the fact that the bundle provided controls, not just for the ASP.NET context, but also Windows applications, and the cross-platform contexts as well.

The Software Development team are the ones providing support for the Progress Telerik usages.
  • Fast Development time
  • Feature Rich Development with little-to-no boiler plate
  • Responsive Web Design support
  • none. it just worked.
  • Migrating our UI from ASP.NET AJAX to ASP.NET MVC
  • Replacing Crystal Report with Telerik Reporting
The Telerik UI has become part of our staple development tools. We can not be as productive without the feature set available to us in the Telerik UI ASP.NET AJAX control package.
Both the support forums, and the support tickets are quickly responded to. The support team is very knowledgeable and often can provide useful steps to correct the issue. If not, they can usually point to a patch, or an alternative.
Yes. The support is part of the Dev Craft bundle. This allows us to get quick answers and support from the Progress Telerik support team, often with great results.
No
Early on in the implementation of the Telerik usage, we were using a product called Telerik Open Access (which is now retired by Progress). A question on how to perform a particular operation had arisen, and we could not find details on how to implement what we needed. The question was sent to support, and within an hour we had the answer, with sample code, and links to where to find the relevant information on the documentation site!

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.

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.
  • Rapid development with limited resources - ROI
  • However, you have to pay for it and you have your dev team in the office anyway, they might as well code from scratch, so for some free always wins, especially if you have many developers
Telerik Support (pre-progress) is awesome, way better than Infragistics or Syncfusion.
Syncfusion is a little cheaper.
They all have Grid components (like Excel) then there are a few edge cases of having different controls to another to show off. Once you know what UI tech you are going to use e.g. Blazor/UWP/React/JQuery then you need to check if the feature set is in the product list and is it fast enough for your needs.
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.
The UX of their UI is very well thought out, the micro-interactions are intuitive - thus great for your end user as less training is needed.
Using the software, there [are] loads to get you going, you can download their whole demo site and see how each demo works. There is more now on github to get you started, also much on an awesome CDN that's well bedded in so your app is speedy and up to date.

Not the cheapest product out there, and now that Progress bought Telerik the price will be an issue.
More POC testing, and feature/price comparisons.
In the past, you could buy just the single controls from Telerik that you used, e.g. the Grid.
If your project just uses a grid then you could write your own, test it, do all the compliance work.
But when a breaking change comes out with a new update to Windows, to MS Internet Explorer/Edge or Chrome -[do you] have the resources to fix it or has Telerik done it already?
How much is that time worth to you?
If you are working in the health sector and the hospital is using really old PCs and have low budgets, how are you going to support all the different browsers, or do you want somebody else to do that for you?
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
The implementation went smoothly. However, many of the charting UI has been replaced with PowerBI.
Telerik support is premium support. When you buy it you get the first year with it, it makes all the difference then after that it's just a case of renewals, and you get the latest upgrades as well. If you want confidence, then get support.
Yes
Yes, and I get a hotfix or a workaround, it's hard to find bugs these days.
Sometimes their support extends into chargeable application design, as long as you don't take the micky that's part of the support. This is a grey area, e.g. what [is] the best UI control to use in a given use case. They now offer Technical/Solutions consultancy service which is long overdue but is quite obvious having met many of their developers at trade shows (NDC/DevWeek etc).

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.
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.
  • Improves productivity.
  • Simplifies coding and greatly reduces JavaScript.
PowerApps contains integration into backend data sources, but very limited UI functionality in the controls.

Telerik requires additional data source integration development, but offers essentially unlimited UI functionality
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.
The MVC helpers greatly simplify development. There are some inconsistencies between controls and poor documentation as to when event callbacks are made.
