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 really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"We appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"What I like best about Apache JMeter is its user-friendly GUI because even if you don't have very good coding knowledge or understanding, or even if you don't come from a development background, you can still use the solution with just a few clicks. This is what's unique about Apache JMeter, in comparison with other tools in the market. As Apache JMeter is open source, when there's a missing feature, you can search in several community blogs for plugins that you can use to modify Apache JMeter to meet your requirements, and this is another advantage."
"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."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"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."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"The stability could be a bit 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."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"The UI needs some work. The first time I used JMeter, I couldn't record the full scenario to mimic the user experience. Since then, they have introduced some plugins and a third-party tool called BlazeMeter."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"[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."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The AI feature needs improvement. For banking applications, we input formatted text from documents, but the AI feature is recognizing three fields as one field, e.g., for a phone number, it puts all 10 digits in the international code or country code. Then, the script fails."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"The solution does not have proper scripting."
