  • I have not worked with the App Builder but I think a GUI for dragging and dropping components to build a web page would be great.
  • In addition to the app builder there should some tools to design a responsive web application to see the results for different screen sizes.

The Telerik UI has become part of our staple development tools. We can not be as productive without the feature set available to us in the Telerik UI ASP.NET AJAX control package.

Usability

The UX of their UI is very well thought out, the micro-interactions are intuitive - thus great for your end user as less training is needed. Using the software, there [are] loads to get you going, you can download their whole demo site and see how each demo works. There is more now on github to get you started, also much on an awesome CDN that's well bedded in so your app is speedy and up to date.

Progress Telerik UI customer support is pretty good. The ticketing system allows a thread of questions, answers, and attachments of code and screenshots. Response time is fairly quick and often has code snippets or pointers to online examples that could be relevant. There is a large amount of community support forums to get answers or post questions. In addition there is a forum of posted code samples for the various controls. The Progress update tool easily tells you what products have been updated and allows you to install the updates on your development system. Release notes can be displayed to see what's new.

We have been able to work in a much more agile way with SAP Extension Suite, and there is a lot of excitement that developing with this platform is significantly faster. SAP Extension Suite is the perfect fit to build great-looking applications that work on any form factor, be it [a] smartphone, laptop, or tablet, and within budget.

The Telerik controls were just easier for us to use and implement. Our evaluation of control packages was over 9 years ago, so it is hard to recall the major differences. Generally, the team preferred what Telerik had to offer, particularly the fact that the bundle provided controls, not just for the ASP.NET context, but also Windows applications, and the cross-platform contexts as well.

Return on Investment
  • Faster development cycle due to native integration with SAP products
  • Negative short-term ROI due to the lack of training material and significant differences with the previous version of the same tool (SAP Web IDE)
  • Tighter integration with corporate programming guidelines since SAP Extension Suite offers great integration with DevOps pipeline solutions

  • Provides rapid development - it has helped me create multiple web applications in MVC and Angular within a one-month time frame.
  • Our clients were facing challenges (taking time to load applications, grid view, and generating reports ) with asp.net web applications. Using Kendo UI we have migrated the ASP.NET application to MVC within a one-month time frame. The client was very happy with the application's performance and responsive UI.
