Doug Thompson Full Stack Senior Developer in Information Technology at Confidential (In Stealth Mode) (Telecommunications, 201-500 employees) Chose Progress Telerik Telerik Support (pre-progress) is awesome, way better than Infragistics or Syncfusion.

Verified User Chose Progress Telerik We have been implementing our own custom code using the ASP.NET framework, and it has taken us a lot longer to implement functionality.

Akshata Khandeparkar Software Engineer 2 in Information Technology at Bentley Systems (Computer Software, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Progress Telerik Super easy to use and integrate into Visual Studio. The MVC helpers greatly simplify development. The controls are easy to implement and the online examples are excellent. Incentivized Helpful? Curtis Cibinel Senior Software Engineer in Information Technology at Logibec (Information Technology & Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Progress Telerik Superior to Dijit, jQuery UI and devart studio. Other tools were evaluated in 2006 prior to the selection of Telerik for our software. Support has been quite good and issues have generally been well handled. Custom coding has been needed for some scenarios like schedule … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Progress Telerik We didn't use SyncFusion for long.
