    Chose Syncfusion® Essential Studio®
    They are basically on par, but the docs and in general, including support, Telerik is a bit superior. I find it to be better in terms of user-friendliness and also better polished UI wise, I mean, overall they just look better and offer somewhat better themes/skins to all the …

    Yes, I use another framework at the same time. I am going to be very honest: the other framework is very good. There are two aspects, one positive and other negative: - The positive aspect of the other framework is the execution time. Is more faster than Syncfusion Essential …

    Telerik is similar in content and functionality. I used it for 1 yr and switched to Syncfusion based on price. I have never considered going back to Telerik

    Chose Syncfusion® Essential Studio®
    Syncfusion is a clear winner over what Telerik has to offer in functionality, rapid development and hands down on support. I disliked how Telerik decides if they will fix reported bugs or suggested product enhancements. Syncfusion in my opinion is far more cost effective as …

    While the more expensive to use for a small shop(for example syncfusion is free to start), the quality paid for itself in no time flat. Other options are either half baked, have lock in and will become quite expensive once you hit a treshhold, or plain simply didn't mesh with …

    Progress Telerik UI provides a large amount of language support, demos, and documentation. While the competition is still great in their own right, Progress Telerik UI has provided enough resources to cover a number of current and future projects without having to expand to …

    I purchased Telerik because its components seemed great and were priced more attractively than Syncfusion. Unfortunately, after hitting major product limitations with Telerik's Document Processing for PDF I now find myself migrating from Telerik to Syncfusion. This has been an …

    Chose Progress Telerik
    Telerik Support (pre-progress) is awesome, way better than Infragistics or Syncfusion.
    Syncfusion is a little cheaper.
    They all have Grid components (like Excel) then there are a few edge cases of having different controls to another to show off. Once you know what UI tech you …

    Progress Telerik UI ultimately had the smoothest/lowest learning curve for developers and it's an established product that incoming team members likely have some experience with.

    We didn't use SyncFusion for long. We found that if you did anything custom, the controls simply didn't behave the way you would expect. Very annoying for us.
