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.

Hello Kyojim,

I am sorry to hear about the problems that you have faced with the components. If you have any specific questions regarding any of the components, you can use any of our official channels for technical support, including our forums.

As for features that are not available in the suite, you can use our public feedback portal for creating feature requests, where other developers can vote for them and increase their priority in our roadmap:

For the tags input, you could take a look at the documentation of our MultiSelect component and see if this is what you are looking for:

As for the pricing, you can select Lite Support option and reduce the price of Kendo UI (which includes JavaScript UI components for jQuery, Angular, React and Vue). Regarding the pricing of other packages, the lowest price mentioned in Infragistics official site is $1,295.

Notwithstanding, if any questions regarding the components arise, do not hesitate to get back to us.
