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."Scripting with the solution is good."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"The most valuable features of Apache JMeter are user-friendliness, large resource, and the quality of assistance they provide. Additionally, it is easy to integrate with cloud platforms, such as AWS."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"JMeter's most valuable feature is the RegEx Extractor."
"The product helps me get the expected performance from applications or servers and reduces costs. It also enhances the performance of the services and helped them reach their ultimate capacity."
"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."
"A lot of things are valuable. It is free. It has a lot of features, such as report generation and integration with CI/CD, which makes it very competitive with the other paid solutions available in the market. It is a good solution."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"It's simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The UI could be better."
"JMeter is lagging when it comes to GUI performance testing because we need to install some third-party plugins for recording the GUI script, and the performance isn't very reliable."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"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."
"Apache JMeter may have difficulty recognizing dynamic objects in some critical cases, which can lead to challenges in terms of object identification."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"Technical support could be improved."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
