I am considering purchasing Kendo UI Professional, but it's sale price is thousand bucks. Infragistics price is lower at 700$ and it's equally good. So, I am going to purchase that most likely.

Kendo doesn't have some features that i think are basic. I tried to implement a simple tags input control and I couldn't. Had to go back to select2 control.

They don't seem to have any support to S3 in upload control.

These are important in my application and Kendo doesn't provide them out of the box. Bums me out that i have to implement these manually after spending 1000 usd on the control set.

Hi Kasin,

Let me provide some more details regarding the mentioned controls, and will leave the decision to your discretion.

About the tags inputs control, the Kendo UI for Angular suite, ships several components which can render tags and might be found appropriate:

The Upload component (and other controls as well) is a native Angular component that has representational functionality. This means that they can visualize any data that is passed to them as long as it is in a supported format and any server logic is considered developer effort.

Basically, it sends the selected files from the file system to any server which is configured to receive them.

I would also want to encourage you to explore the FileSelect component, which serves as a richer version of an <input type='file'> element. The provides full control over the process of creating the server requests and sent forms. 

Regards,
Martin
