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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"JMeter lets us generate virtual users and T-load, per our requirements. It's easy to configure and adjusting the virtual users according to the DPS we want to achieve."
"Apache JMeter is well-known and widely used among developers, particularly on popular developer forums. While it may not have the most user-friendly interface, it offers strong support through official manuals and various articles from companies providing load testing services. The tool is free, has a substantial community, and serves as a fundamental choice for testers, especially those new to performance testing. While other tools like K6 may be more developer-oriented, JMeter's affordability and accessibility make it suitable for those without extensive performance testing experience."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The most valuable feature for us is the available information on the forums and to be able to discuss and get answers from the people that are involved in using this tool."
"I appreciate JMeter's simplicity and power for performance testing."
"Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"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."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"You really need a technical team in order to really utilize the product."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"The solution needs more metrics for reporting."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"The UI needs some work. The first time I used JMeter, I couldn't record the full scenario to mimic the user experience. Since then, they have introduced some plugins and a third-party tool called BlazeMeter."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"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."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
