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."The features that I appreciate are quite basic. It is easy to ramp up the threads and start calling the application. A lot of connectors can already be found within Apache JMeter, but we are not using the entire set because the integration between the customers and platform is based on HTTP. We are just going to produce lots of HTTP sequences."
"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's stable and reliable."
"It is open source as well as relatively extendable. It allows us to extend and add additional functionality and features. Its deployment is also very easy."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"We appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"You really need a technical team in order to really utilize the product."
"One of the drawbacks of JMeter is that it can't handle a large amount of load, which forces us to switch to other tools when we need to load more than a 5,000 or 10,000 user load."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"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."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"There is some work to be done with the integration."
"The UI could be better."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
