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."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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"This solution is easier to use than any other tool in the market; there is not even a requirement to learn a lot of scripting in order to use it."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"The reports and analysis tools are very good. They are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jenkins and the reporting."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"It is easy to set up."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"Apache JMeter may have difficulty recognizing dynamic objects in some critical cases, which can lead to challenges in terms of object identification."
"At times when we overload the application, it gets stuck...After the solution gets stuck due to overloading, we have to restart our computers. In short, the solution keeps crashing."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"JMeter's reporting is extremely rudimentary. The fundamental reporting mechanisms need to be drastically improved. It doesn't utilize an automatic session management mechanism or methods other tools use like parsing cookies and variables. Everything needs to be done manually. There's no automation."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."
"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 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."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
