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."We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's a free tool."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"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 best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"Currently, the integration pipeline is implemented by using Jenkins or a similar tool platform. These are continuous integration tools. As far as I know, integration is done by using custom scripts. It would be good if the integration with a continuous integration pipeline, like Jenkins or Hudson, can be done out of the box without using a script."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"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."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
