"Great software, sales side not so great"
4/5
What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

We continue to use then kendo controls in our project and have a great experience with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

Their sales channel is very aggressive - wanting early renewals, offering dubious discounts for early renewal, badgering frequently if you are wanting additional licenses, if you are going to renew licenses later in the year, etc. If the software wasn't so strong I would have gone elsewhere on this point alone. (This is still my biggest bone of contention with them - it's fantastic software - but they are very sales heavy) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent UI Component Library with a Smooth Learning Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

Progress Kendo UI offers an outstanding collection of pre-built UI components that significantly accelerate development time. The components are well-designed, highly customizable, and work seamlessly across different frameworks. What impressed me most is how intuitive the library is to use - even complex components like data grids and charts are straightforward to implement. The documentation is comprehensive with plenty of code examples, making it easy to get started and find solutions quickly. The consistent API design across components means once you learn one, you can easily work with others. It's been a tremendous productivity boost for our development team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

While overall excellent, there is a learning curve when first getting started, especially if you're new to component libraries. It takes some time to understand the full range of configuration options and best practices for customization. The initial setup and understanding of licensing can also be a bit overwhelming. Additionally, some advanced customization scenarios require digging deeper into the documentation. However, these are minor issues that diminish as you gain experience with the platform, and the investment in learning pays off quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Rich UI Library for Seamless Integration and Exceptional User Experience"
4/5
What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

What I like best about Kendo UI when using it with ASP.NET MVC is how seamlessly it integrates with the framework. The server side wrappers make it easy to bind data, configure UI components like the Grid, Date Picker, tree view list, model popup, combo box, and handle events without writing much JavaScript. It greatly speeds up development while delivering a polished, responsive user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

Kendo UI can be a bit heavy for simple tasks, and customizing components beyond the default themes isn’t always straightforward. It also requires some additional learning to fully utilize its features and components effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"20 years and it is still one of the best packages out there"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

I have used Telerik tools since they started. I have always found the presentation is excellent and it is very flexible. I have used it in almost every language that they have the UI available for.

It was an excellent product when it came out and it still is. I like the way it looks and the extensibilty.

When I have encountered issues i have been able to find answers through their support, which is great. They always respond with detail and try to be helpful. I'd say they've helped me locate the issue 80% of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

I don't like the fact that they make you pay for the theme builder separately. It was a useful tool that helped you make the controls your own. Now I spend a lot of time in the developer tools of the browser looking up CSS classes and overriding them so I can make it look the way I want. It's a value add and should be provided if you are a paying user.

Also there are a lot of small things that pop up. There's really good information for most things, but I have had some frustrating issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Setup and Column Management"
4/5
What do you like best about Progress Kendo UI?

I like that it's easy to set up and get manage columns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kendo UI?

The columns don't auto size to see the text making it hard to see and hard to grab and resize. It would be nice to be able to manage how it looks and maybe designate fixed fields to make scrolling easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
