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."It is very quick and user-friendly."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable feature. Also, the ability to easily create test cases is also very good. It's easy to just ramp up on the solution."
"The most valuable feature in JMeter is the Thread Group, which helps us to see whether the performance is good."
"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 solution's initial setup is easy."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"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's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"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."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"The UI of the solution needs to be better. The UI takes up a lot of our bandwidth."
"The solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"They should improve the solution on its UI front."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"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 cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"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 is expensive."
