Dear Telerik Support Team,

We are currently using the Telerik framework extensively in one of our projects — including grids, controls, calendars, and other components. Our experience so far has been excellent, and our goal is to fully adopt Telerik across our entire solution.

The only component we have not yet been able to fully migrate is the PivotGrid. We are currently using the DevExpress PivotGrid, but we would like to switch to Kendo PivotGrid, as we consider it to be a very powerful and modern development tool within your ecosystem.

However, during the migration process, we noticed a visual behavior that is not exactly an inconsistency but something we would appreciate your guidance on:

When building a PivotGrid with Telerik (using Kendo().PivotGrid() and an AJAX DataSource, not XMLA), the row field names are displayed inside an additional column. This layout increases the overall width and creates unused blank space.
In contrast, DevExpress displays the row field names above the related data block as a header, which helps make better use of the available space (please see attached images telerik.png and devexpress.png for reference).

We would like to know if there is a recommended way, configuration, or possible workaround to achieve a similar layout in Telerik’s PivotGrid, or if such a feature is being considered in the product roadmap.

Another property is showTotals in order to don´t show totals.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. We look forward to your response.
