Overall Satisfaction with Progress Kendo UI
We build websites and software for internal uses as well as for our clients. Kendo UI saves us from having to reinvent the wheel on simple things like grid also while providing us unmatched features and support.
- Kendo UI enhances the everyday common controls like grids. Grids have been around for some time now but the Kendo UI team continues to make the grid even better with things like Export functionality, nested views, frozen columns etc..
- The documentation of Kendo UI is a hidden area that it does very well at. While the control suite is amazing with out solid documentation users would be unable to use the it effectively. The documentation not only covers the basic settings, setup, and api references, they also have reword example of how to do special customizing like hiding sections or changing colors, etc...
- The Kendo UI team does very well on testing before each release to minimize issue for its users.
- I would like to see KendoUI try to adopt to new standards quicker. I know they are trying to be platform agnostic but with things like Microsoft making a DateTimeOffset the new default db type the KendUI controls that handle Dates & Times need to support this. As of right now it still isnt fully support. I think using a library like momentJs can help. I mean KendoUI already uses 3rd Party library for the Grid Export for things like PDF.
- KendoUI team does some cool things on their website and we would like to see some of those things make it into KendoUI. Like their Menu doesnt seem to be the same menu provided in KendoUI.
- It has saved hundreds of hours from having to code custom control or get several 3rd party libraries to place nice with each other
- Essential Objects, obout, JQuery UI and jQuery Mobile
Kendo UI provided a better feature rich set of tested controls as well as fanatical support that is unmatched.
