Overall Satisfaction with Kendo UI
At MSI we are using Kendo for all of our components on our web application. It is just being used by the engineering team right now. We decided to go with Kendo so we could have a good jumping off point for comboboxs, autocompletes, and grids instead of building our own. We also choose Kendo because they were going to continue to make more components and even have data visualization options so we can use the best tool to display that data to our customers.
- Grids are great, once you figure out how to use the datasources it is super easy to display data.
- It was super easy to wrap each of their components to pass in default options so our app has a consistent look and feel.
- Each release of Kendo UI has something new that solves an issue or improves a process for our customers.
- Sometimes the components may be slightly different, for example the input controls all appear very similar but have different implementations, so you kinda gotta wrap your head around each component instead of having a consistent way they all work.
- It is less of a concern now but giving the controls your own look and feel was painful but I look forward to trying the new theme builders and using SASS to override or change some things about the controls.
- We had to implement a few UX things with the components ourselves, for example we made it so when the user clicks into any input control it opens the control vs the default behavior of having to click the down arrow or the clock to open it.
- I feel it has been worth every penny.
- jquery
Kendo is a great addition to jquery.
