Support for various popular frameworks starting from jQuery to Angular, React 2. Documentation is provided for each and every component along with the demo of usage of the component. 3. User Interface is very rich with large number of components. 4. Support team is working really hard to solve the queries. > > **Cons**: 1. The documentation can be little bit difficult to understand for the first time but when you are using it you will find very useful. 2. Cost of the Kendo UI is comparatively high as compared to another UI alternatives. > > Overall experience is very fruitful as we have built lots of portals using Kendo UI . the team is very happy to work with this tool. ----- ### "Kendo UI is one of my foundational tools required for developing a buisness portal" — 5.0/5 > **Jon** | *30 June 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: - The wide variety of components covers everything from capturing a date range to hosting your own web based Scheduling Calendar. - The tools are all high quality and are heavily used throughout the industry so you can rely on Kendo UI's longevity (i.e. it won't suddenly be left unsupported like so many open source alternatives). - All tools (including charts and reports) contain a consistent theme so developers can spend less time fiddling with CSS trying to make component A look like it belongs on the same page as component B. - The components help my company keep bad data from ever reaching our database by dealing with the problematic data on the client side (before it ever reaches the server). - The licensing allows a developer to install Kendo on all of the computers s/he uses for development. - Kendo works seamlessly with many different development tools such as Blazor, Bootstrap, .Net (Framework \& Core) and others. More options are constantly being added. > > **Cons**: - The cost is high for a small consulting firm. - The learning curve can be a little steep for first time users but it quickly becomes second nature and I've found that new hires straight out of college caught on relatively fast when paired with a seasoned developer. > > It's one of my "must have" tools when developing a professional site. ----- ### "Great lightweight suite of tools" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 September 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Native integration into Progress Sitefinity CMS. Vast documentation and demos. Great support and community. > > **Cons**: Some features are lacking but overall they respond well to the community requests. Upgrades can be time consuming. > > We mostly use the Rich Text editor and grid tools, but its great to know I have many options if I need them. ----- ### "Kendo UI Review" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 November 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: There's a few things I appreciate this software for. The first being it's wide range of languages/frameworks that it supports. The second, and in my opinion the most appreciated was it's built-in features for each control in it's package. There were many times, where I had to custom create a lot of functionality that when I started using Kendo UI I was extremely impressed with how those custom features were already a basis in Kendo. Overall, Kendo UI's built in features for all of it's controls rates the best on my list. > > **Cons**: While this only applied when I first started using Kendo UI, it would be the documentation. I found it rather tedious to navigate the documentation, and find specific documentation for controls and their functions. Though as said, this was when I first started using it. It became much easier with prolonged use. > > Overall, Kendo UI (And the full Telerik product) rates very high for me. It's saved me much time with Projects I've developed, especially when starting new projects, it helped greatly getting them off the ground with speed and feature packed. ----- ### "Kendo UI Review" — 5.0/5 > **Mohamed** | *3 May 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is an amazing UI Tool that helps me build website more faster and more functionality easy to integrate easy to use good documentation > > **Cons**: More Examples for the component is needed enhance documentation with videos too > > it is an amazing tool and i am suggesting it in any new project in my company ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/471197/Kendo-UI?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/471197/Kendo-UI) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
