Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable part of the product is the way you can scale the basic testing easily.""It is mostly user-friendly and usable.""The initial setup was straightforward. I was able to download everything myself without any IT support.""The product is good, and the concept is good as well.""This is a product that has a lot of capabilities and is the most mature tool of its kind in the market.""It allows you to work out how well you are doing project-wise because you see the number of scripts done, the number of tests run, and whether you have mapped all your requirements to it.""We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals.""IP Spoofing can be done using Performance Center."

"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent.""I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well.""Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways.""The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier.""The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good.""We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution.""One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA.""The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."

Cons
"The worst thing about it is it did not have zero footprint on your PC.""I'd rate the scalability a six out of ten. The main reason is that it's a very expensive application. Other companies might not be able to afford it. For example, if we need to test an application with 10,000 concurrent users, the license can cost a lot of money. That's where OpenText tools shoot themselves in the foot compared to other tools. Because of the price, many companies, like one I used to work for, decided not to renew their licenses and switched to open-source testing tools.""They need to focus on minimizing the cost.""Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges.""Dashboard creation should be implemented, so we can get the results in a desired format.""In Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise, I need to spend a lot of time training people, while on other low-code or no-code platforms, I need not invest that much time.""The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved.""More real-time monitoring should be available for the system under test."

More OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise Cons →

"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness.""The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased. Open-source alternatives have a broad scope. Also, it's sometimes difficult to make connections between two of the components in the UFT mobile center. It should be easier to set up the wireless solution because we have to set both. We directly integrate Selenium and APM, so we should try to cover all the features they have in APM and Selenium with the UFT mobile.""The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well.""I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications.""I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps.""It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this.""You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out.""There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "For Performance Center, you have to add additional load generators, and then you can do more. I think it is a matter of the price, in terms of how many machines you can buy."
  • "It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
  • "It is a bit expensive when compared with other tools."
  • "ROI is 200%."
  • "It is a bit expensive, especially for smaller organizations, but over-all it can save you money."
  • "The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
  • "They have a much more practical pricing model now."
  • "I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."

  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."
