We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and OpenText UFT One 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."JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"It's stable and reliable."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"The metrics part of it and the ability to write your custom code to do some specific tests in the performance testing space are the most valuable features."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"I use all the tools, but one feature that stands out is JMeter's ability to test when services are sending a particular kind of request. We are using specific ports to send queries, and assess the performance based on the time it takes these queries to respond. You can use it with stuff other than the web performance."
"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"Modeling a test is difficult. If you don't have much knowledge, you won't be able to do it easily. Testing APIs is also difficult."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"I sometimes found the documentation to be not as explanatory as I would've liked it. In the cases that I can think of, I was looking for a rather hand-holding approach with Step A, B, and C, but then I realized that with a product that is open source like this, you can't do handholding. That is because there are so many different uses and different unique environments and setups for it, but I remember thinking a few times that if they only just said this."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"At times when we overload the application, it gets stuck...After the solution gets stuck due to overloading, we have to restart our computers. In short, the solution keeps crashing."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"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."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
