Overall Satisfaction with Progress Kendo UI
We use kendo UI to give more functionality to the pages of our internal site, with this controls we can build complex pages in a short time, at the beginning we have to read a lot, see examples of how to use the controls, search in the forums and make our laboratories to try what we want to build could be do it or not. Our internal site is used across the whole organization.
- Grid control is excellent, they have a lot of functionality that is easy to implement, also it have the option to export the data to Excel or pdf. Instead of building a lot of reports we display information using the grid control and the users have the option to export the result.
- The validation control is another good one, we can personalize the message to our language, build our rules to validate the information provide for the user and have more control in the process of input data to minimize problems of data processing,
- The Kendo window is excellent too. We can build powerful dialog windows in our site using a template, so the first one have the more effort and the others only use the template allow us a fast development in other pages.
- The documentation can be improvement, there are topics that no are so easy to understand when you read it about an a control (non in a particular). We have to search in forums and in one case we have to use the support for an a detail explanation of how we can use a control.
- The calendar control it's would be nice to have a way to show holidays, the user only have in memory some of then
- The gantt control also we don't use it, when we read about it, it's something complex to understand and have a lot of potencial
- We have positive impact, it's lower the reprocessing data indicator, increase the trust in the information that are in the database and the information that give us the internal process are more reliable
We started working with jqgrid that it's was free in that moment, in the middle of the development of the our site this control, it's no longer free. Our experience with this control was ok, but not great, if we have to have different functionalities we have to spend a lot of time of programing to achieve it, and its only one control.
So we take the decision to find a sets of controls to use. We ask to friends and lot of then mention Kendo ui. We go the page of kendo ui see the controls that offer, download the controls and make a test and we have stunning of the easy of use the basic controls and the implementation of then. We start to read and try what we learned about the controls and see how easy its use it.
Knowing that the controls works and they are great, we see that price its was great too and the decision for the Kendo was made. We saw others controls but they are more expensive and no so easy to understand or no work as we want.
