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 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."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jenkins and the reporting."
"We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"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."
"Scripting with the solution is good."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"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."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"The reporting is not very good."
"If JMeter could integrate with the EPM solution, it would be great. It could also be improved by offering more integrations for security. For example, most applications are secure with OpenID Connect protocols."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"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."
"Running JMeter in GUI mode uses a lot of memory, which means we need to switch to a non-GUI mode when using a heavy load."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"The solution is expensive."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
Apache JMeter is ranked 3rd in API Testing Tools with 82 reviews while OpenText UFT One is ranked 4th in API Testing Tools with 89 reviews. Apache JMeter is rated 7.8, while OpenText UFT One is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Apache JMeter writes "It's a free tool with a vast knowledge base, but the reporting is lackluster, and it has a steep learning curve". On the other hand, the top reviewer of OpenText UFT One writes "With regularly occurring releases, a QA team member can schedule tests, let the tests run unattended, and then examine the results". Apache JMeter is most compared with BlazeMeter, Postman, Tricentis NeoLoad, OpenText LoadRunner Professional and Katalon Studio, whereas OpenText UFT One is most compared with Tricentis Tosca, OpenText UFT Developer, Katalon Studio, SmartBear TestComplete and UiPath Test Suite.
