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."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 lets us generate virtual users and T-load, per our requirements. It's easy to configure and adjusting the virtual users according to the DPS we want to achieve."
"It's a free tool."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"The scripting ability is most valuable. It is easy to use. There is a UI, and you can go in there and figure those things out. After you've got a good set of tests, you basically have a scripted document that you can grab and execute in a pipeline. It is pretty quick to set up, and you can scale it and version control it."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"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."
"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."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"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."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"They should improve the solution on its UI front."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"[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 scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
