We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One and Postman based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"The API testing features are valuable."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"The solution is expensive."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"To get this email reporting function, we have to integrate Postman with Newman. If the two are not integrated, we won't be getting all these things in one group."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"Postman could be improved by providing options for performance testing of APIs."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
