"Over a Decade of Reliable, High-Quality UI Components"
5/5
What do you like best about Progress Telerik?

Telerik’s components—both the original AJAX suite and the newer Kendo UI—have always been rock-solid, well-documented, and feature-rich. They save me countless hours on front-end development and make it easy to deliver polished, professional-looking applications. The Telerik Grid, in particular, is incredibly powerful and customizable. I also ap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Telerik?

Nothing really! There’s a bit of a learning curve when moving between suites (e.g., from AJAX to Kendo UI), and occasionally the documentation could be clearer for edge cases or advanced configurations. Licensing costs can add up for smaller teams, but the value delivered still justifies the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and Flexible Reporting Tool with Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Progress Telerik?

We are using Telerik reporting last 1 year. we use Telerik reporting for crystal report migration. Initially we face couple of challenges because we are new to this technology but after checking Telerik Documentation and support we got from Telerik team we completed the couple of report.

I like most here Telerik Support by 24 hours always get the reply from the with proper solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Telerik?

1.Accessibility Documentation Could Be Clearer – Features like Enable Accessibility and ViewerRenderToolTips are available but making them work effectively with screen readers (such as NVDA) and different PDF viewers (like Adobe Reader vs. Foxit) often requires trial and error. More complete and practical examples would help a lot.

2.Inconsistent Tooltip Support Across Viewers – Tooltips (via AccessibleDescription) show correctly in Foxit PDF Reader but not in Adobe Reader or most browser-based PDF viewers. This inconsistency can create confusion for end users expecting uniform behavior.

3.CanShrink Property in PageHeaderSection – The CanShrink property does not behave the same way in PageHeaderSection as it does in ReportHeaderSection. Even when content is hidden based on conditions, the section height remains, which affects layout. Aligning its behavior with the ReportHeaderSection would provide more layout flexibility.

What do you dislike about Progress Telerik?

The complexity of RadGridView can be hard to work through, especially when it comes to adding new rows. I think it becomes even more challenging in our case because we’re using unbound data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Support, but a Slightly Steep Learning Curve"
5/5
What do you like best about Progress Telerik?

I really like that there are plenty of usage examples for each component, which makes it easier to get started. The implementation with Angular is also very smooth, and I use it daily in my projects. It’s very rare that I can’t find a component I need — there seems to be a solution for almost every use case. However, if I need to customize something beyond the basic examples, I usually need to reach out to support. I haven’t really used third-party integrations yet, so I can’t comment on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Telerik?

Some components have a slightly steep learning curve, especially when it comes to more advanced customizations. Also, the price can feel a bit high for smaller teams or projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great component suite, I use the data grid in all my apps"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Progress Telerik?

The data grid is amazing. It's easy to setup in any language I've used and saves me so much time. The input controls are ok, some are no different than HTML controls but others are more robust. It would be nice if some controls were more customizable but overall they are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Telerik?

The licensing. Each project has had different requirements for implementing the license. Sometimes it's a file included with the project. Other times it's a pretty complex process to have it included in a deployment pipeline. I think someone needs to look at how licensing is applied and make it even easier than the controls you supply.

I also find the examples are a little simple. It would be nice if you had an example application that showcased real world examples of how your controls can be used. Maybe have 3-4 different ways ranging from simple to complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
