These components have saved so much time!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the Progress Telerik control libraries to save time and simplify development of ASP.NET MVC and Blazor applications, and we're moving into using the MAUI pieces as well. Some controls feel like overkill, since the packages include things like textboxes - which DO have some minor extra features, but not enough to switch them out in my opinion. But it also includes advanced ones such as image editors, popovers, cards, skeletons, graphs and so much more that save tons of time when we develop any kind of LOB application.
Pros
- Saves time
- Scalable
- Great advanced components and features
- Easy reusability
- Great support
- Recurring and frequent updates
Cons
- The written documentation could be better
- Requires some slightly invasive changes when integrating
Likelihood to Recommend
As soon as you need more than the most basic of features in your application, chances are that Progress Telerik has you covered. Personally, we've used graphing and list components frequently, and reporting and input components more often than not. It can be a bit difficult to combine the layout of the Progress Telerik components with your existing, non Progress Telerik controls, but it's definitively doable.
