What makes Telerik different than other vendors?
Winning the trust and respect of tens of thousands of .NET developers is not easy. It takes great products. It mandates consistency, transparency and honesty. It requires exceptional customer care. As a Telerik customer, you will experience this every day. You will see that building stable, high-performance, visually stunning .NET applications is not a daunting task. And we are always out there to help make your projects a success.
That’s the short story. In case you want to learn more about the things customers love about our products, read further…
Stability
Telerik products for ASP.NET AJAX, WinForms, WPF and Silverlight are used in numerous mission critical applications. Even Microsoft uses Telerik ASP.NET AJAX controls for its MSDN, TechNet and CodePlex properties.
Well-crafted APIs
We like innovation but not on the API level. When it comes to APIs, unlike other vendors, we try to keep the programming model as close as possible to the Microsoft way of doing things. And we spend a lot of time to make our product APIs clean and intuitive. So you can spend less time learning and more time coding.
Technology "insurance"
When a new technology, .NET Framework or Visual Studio update comes from Microsoft, we will be the first to support it. Regardless of whether it is AJAX, WPF, Dynamic Data Controls, ASP.NET MVC or something else, we will adapt our product lines and be ready for your future needs. Even if it’s Google Chrome support.
Standards compliance
For some projects you need XHTML output, for others you need Section 508 compliance, for yet others you need Right-To-Left support. In almost all cases these capabilities are available out-of-the-box. And when technical limitations are in the way, we will be honest and let you know what is not supported.
Incredible productivity
Having advanced features is simply not enough if you have to be an Einstein to use them. We design our products to mask the complexity and make advanced capabilities easily available to normal people. See what people say about us.
Innovation
Whether it is the client-side capabilities and unbeatable performance of our ASP.NET AJAX UI controls, the unique WPF-like presentation framework in our Windows Forms components, or the LINQ binding to a million records in our WPF data grid we have always tried to be different. But in a good, for customers, way.
Performance
Regardless of the platform and the way we do it (virtualization, partial loading, script loading optimizations, CSS sprites, etc.) we always have one goal in mind – to make our products work with large data (meaning millions of records) and a full feature set turned on without compromising the user experience. We won't even try to enter the never-ending debate who is fastest in our industry. You should be the judge. But we will help you deliver performance that many people think is impossible.
Best-of-breed products
Quantity matters and that’s why we try to cover all platforms - ASP.NET, WPF, Silverlight and WinForms. That's why we also have Reporting, ORM and web content management products. But we are also believers in quality and we daily strive to produce market-leaders - from the individual UI components to the complete product suites.
Ultimate customer care
It’s not a product feature, but it is just as important. With Telerik you will get no-nonsense licensing, transparency about our roadmap and access to a wealth of support and training resources. You will benefit from industry-leading product support and a team that genuinely cares about your success. Did we mention that as a Telerik customer you will be part of one of the largest communities in the .NET world?
