Overall Satisfaction with Kendo UI

I'm a software engineer that develops projects for many users and organizations. The company I work for also currently utilizes Telerik controls and (Kendo UI) for projects we build for clients. We use Kendo UI to have a single, supported and functional UI framework that looks great and performs great. It's always a joy to use and cuts development times and efforts by large margins.
  • JQuery integration is top notch. The ability to quickly add ready to use controls to a web is extremely valuable when getting concepts up to show clients.
  • Angular 4 integration is awesome! We are moving full steam ahead with Angular 4 and finding ready to go controls that can be used in our Angular 4 apps had been problematic. many companies say they are coming, but Kendo UI is ready and working!
  • Lots of properties to allow greater functionality. Most controls have the ability to get them up and running using bare bone code, or you can really get into the weeds and expand it alot. I love this about Kendo UI
  • Pricing, it is a bit pricey compared to other frameworks. I'm not one to complain about prices, but if I had to find a con here, I would say I wish it was cheaper.
  • I wish there was easier ways I could css / theme the controls. I can theme them just fine, but wish it was a bit easier to do so
  • Allows me to get concepts ready for clients easily without alot of code investment and later expand upon with new features with minimal code change
  • Cut development time
Kendo UI stacks up greatly against other controls libraries like JQWidget and so on. It may be more expensive, but with what your getting from Kendo UI I can understand it (I still wish it was a little less expensive). But Kendo UI controls look and function better, and are faster, than the other libraries that I have dealt with in the past.
Its a great all-in-one control set that allows users to have a single control framework that functions and looks professional. Kendo UI easily works with a variety of project types such as jQuery projects, and angular. Getting a quick proof of concepts up and running has been a blessing due to Kendo UI's ability to integrate with using bare configuration and then later allowing us to expand the controls functionality with minimal code changes.
