Well, I have used Kendo UI in 2 web apps. First one is supeload and another is OpenPlant. For Supeload we migrated from Asp.Net controls to Kendo UI which made our work much easier. And then OpenPlant we directly used Kendo with angular.
Pros
Components such as charts tables are of great help when it comes to software development.
Documentation is good so it saves time and effort.
It offers support for multiple JavaScript frameworks.
Cons
Though, documentation is good . It still needs to cover all the scenarios.
Upgrades are not easy since there is no proper communication regarding this.
Likelihood to Recommend
It could be used in almost every JavaScript framework. It's easy to implement in applications. The kendo widgets are able to be used in almost any type of business application which has a UI. Thus helping in building complex applications.
We use Kendo UI on our website, which allows our customers to run their businesses. We also use the controls for our own internal systems. Kendo UI helped us complete our projects faster than if we were to create the results ourselves.
Pros
Quick implementation
Amazing support
Cons
Documentation could be organized better.
CSS classes are difficult to customize on occasion.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you need to quickly get a product to market, using Kendo UI controls will really cut down on development time (for charts & graphs, editors, etc.).

At Kapsch TrafficCom we use Kendo UI for Angular to create user interfaces for use by the end user of our product. Primary feature that we use is the kendo grid to display large amounts of data in a readable table format. This technology is used by the UI/UX team. Solves problem of being able to efficiently and consistently present complex data to user.
Pros
Well documented
Fast and helpful support
Cons
Lack of updates for KendoUI Angular
Missing some specific features
Likelihood to Recommend
Kendo UI is helpful if you are building enterprise data-driven application. I would more likely recommend the Kendo UI for jQuery over Kendo UI for Angular because the feature set is more established and more up to date where as Kendo UI for Angular seems like it is still in beta sometimes.
It's being used in a few departments across the company. Its intention was to help facilitate the company by giving us components to use in Angular without us needing to create them ourselves. This allowed us to work more quickly and efficiently getting our software to the business.
Pros
Documentation
Cons
Component speed in large sets of data
Likelihood to Recommend
It's useful for small apps but not for large lists of information.
We use the Kendo UI components for data visualization in our company's web products. The grid and chart components are easy to get set up but offer many customization points.
Pros
The documentation for the various components is comprehensive and offers examples of usage.
The styling of the components looks good out of the box.
Cons
Custom styling to change the default look of components can be tricky. It often involves writing CSS using the class hierarchy applied to the generated HTML which sometimes changes after upgrades.
The React components lag behind the regular jQuery components making it hard to completely switch to the React components.
Likelihood to Recommend
The data visualization components are particularly useful. The grid component supports things like frozen headers and column sorting out of the box which can be time-consuming to implement otherwise. Similarly, the various charts are ready to go without the need to add an additional library.

Kendo UI is well suited in small to medium apps where the users don't get a lot of information. Kendo UI is not recommended for big apps where there is a lot of data as it has performance issues that make the UX a headache.

We use Kendo UI for most of our MVC projects. It's one of our very essential tools for UI design for Web Applications. It is used in our Software Development department. It's very easy to use, you can make a beautiful UI pretty fast and it looks nice. It has some problems with a big amount of data on grids, but usually, that's not a problem. It also has compatibility with .NET Core (we are migrating to Core right now) and .NET MVC. It has a lot of web controls for forms (inputs, combo boxes, checkboxes, date pickers, color pickers, etc), grids and plots, and everything that you need for your UI.
Pros
Components for web forms are great for data inputs.
Grids to display data to users.
Plots for display data to users.
Compatibility with .NET Core.
Cons
It has a delay for rendering a large amount of data on grids.
It has a delay for rendering a large amount of data on combo boxes.
It has a delay for rendering a large amount of data on dropdown lists.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a great tool for UI agile development. You get great results pretty quickly and it has a large number of components, also it has compatibility with .NET MVC and .NET Core MVC, but it has problems rendering a large amount of data (response time) mainly on grids and lists (combo boxes and dropdown lists).
The Kendo UI suite has completely serviced our web development needs over the past 5 years. The control suite has been comprehensive and robust enough that we haven't had to look at other competitor suites. The controls are relatively straightforward to implement and when we've had trouble, the documentation and online support have been very reliable. I'd work with the Kendo suite again in a heartbeat, and recommend it to any company looking to reduce development costs and overall time to market.
Pros
Online community with elaborate documentation.
Seamless JS integration and easy to get started.
Robust control suite that is state-of-the-art at a reasonable cost.
Cons
Some of the version upgrades have introduced collisions with CSS or jQuery, which has taken time for us to troubleshoot and resolve.
Likelihood to Recommend
Kendo is well suited for any typical web control or data visualization need.
