Overall Satisfaction with Kendo UI

We use it in our web applications, both internal and externally facing. The grids enable us to sort data more effectively and access individual records more easily. The controls look more attractive to the user and most of them are more feature rich than standard controls.
  • The grid handles sorting and filtering very well.
  • The drop downs are very fast and attractive and easy to use and implement.
  • The numeric text boxes are easy to implement and very customizable, replacing what we would otherwise have to use javascript for.
  • CSS scripts order is a bit picky on the page.
  • I wish you had a control to do what jQuery ajax method does.
  • NumericTextBox should support zip codes and phone numbers.
  • We get faster ticket completions per deployment. The controls are just very easy to implement from start to finish.
  • Our clients find our controls are easy and intuitive to use, not to mention feature rich (they love the grids).
  • Along the lines of faster ticket completion, we get faster deployments which means faster production releases.
I've used JavaScript datagrid before. It is actually a bit harder to setup and can be tough to maintain...and not as feature rich as the Kendo UI grid. It was also difficult to publish, I've had publishing errors with it in the past. Kendo grid is much easier because it is a dll driven product. As long as you setup your project according to the directions, it is just smooth sailing.
I find it works great for producing grids. It is ideal for creating forms, especially where numeric text boxes and drop down logic is needed, and calendar controls. We use it in many of our forms. We also use it on pages where we have to display large amounts of data to the clients.
