New Learning Open UI5 **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rupert Roy A. | SAP Junior ABAP Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2016 **What do you like best about OpenUI5?** What I like best in using SAPUI5 is that it almost capture every standard process of the old ERP and tried to create templates, snippets and automatic code-generation that would best fit the intention. I tried it for free in one of the online course I took. I like that the documentation is rich from the setting up of the data set, to the navigation, to the smart controls and up to tht User Interface. **What do you dislike about OpenUI5?** What I don't like is the data mapping of the data I want to show to the smart controls used. When I tried to create an application, using WEB IDE hosted in Hana Cloud Platform, I find it difficult to map the data I prepared to the user interface. Given that problem, I tried to manipulate my data in a way that I know would be a problem when real data increase exponentially. **Recommendations to others considering OpenUI5:** I would like to recommend OpenUI5 to my fellow SAP Consultant ABAP Developers to learn the new face of SAP HANA since I greatly feel that OpenUI5 would be the very demand of SAP in next years. So if they want to ride that tide, I say, they need to deep dive in the OpenUI5. - [View OpenUI5 pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/openui5/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-26+02%3A47%3A00+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=47a718b9-62e0-4c69-883c-566cf00142cb&secure%5Btoken%5D=34ee74ca8ccd34e852f96b21b55edce49fc5fa27c1603182181a39f8a1d02fac&format=llm_user) ## OpenUI5 Features **JavaScript Frameworks** - Libraries - Community - Widgets - Browser Support - Graphical Visualization - Mobile Support ## Top OpenUI5 Alternatives - [Essential Studio](https://www.g2.com/products/essential-studio/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (725 reviews) - [Progress Kendo UI](https://www.g2.com/products/progress-kendo-ui/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (250 reviews) - [Angular](https://www.g2.com/products/angular/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (156 reviews)
