Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Kendo UI for data management and user experience for multiple digital products that we maintain on behalf of our clients. It handles data visualization/charting and data management for our clients in the mortgage industry and government services.

Pros and Cons

Kendo UI consumes and provides templated layouts for JSON data provided by an internal API. It allows us to focus on development without worrying as much about presentation.
Kendo UI's date picker is miles above other framework plugins and easy to use and integrate.
Kendo UI allows us to customize a workflow and handle client-side validation to improve overall user experience.

The Masked Input needs some improvement for mobile browser compatibility.
Documentation could be improved for clarity. Sometimes it's hard to determine exactly how to implement something because the documentation is sparse or a naming convention doesn't make sense.

Return on Investment

It's improved consistency in our user experiences.
It's eliminated the need for multiple plugins that may or may not be compatible with each other.
It allows us to provide rich user experiences on a team with limited design experience.
