Overall Satisfaction with Kendo UI
We use the Kendo UI controls on our ecommerce websites. For example, the checkout pages use the grid for showing and editing the user's cart. Other controls we use include increasing or decreasing a cart item's quantity using the numeric textbox control. Uploading files with the upload control allows drag and drop functionality. Controls are relatively easy to use, though they can get complex for some features of the grid such as master/detail, templates, etc.
- The grid control previously mentioned
- The editor control to add a content manager feature
- The TreeView control is useful for a familiar UX
- Documentation is good but more would be better
- Examples of implementation are helpful - include more diverse examples for an array of scenarios. As mentioned, I used a grid for my site's shopping cart. A full-featured checkout experience using the grid and other controls would have helped. For example, changing the quantity of a line-item could automatically adjust the extended price, subtotals tax, totals, etc.
- Additional descriptions of how controls could better be accessible (Aria, form labels, etc.)
- The controls available and powerful features save a substantial amount of development and coding time.
