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."Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"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."
"API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"It's simple to set up."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"I sometimes found the documentation to be not as explanatory as I would've liked it. In the cases that I can think of, I was looking for a rather hand-holding approach with Step A, B, and C, but then I realized that with a product that is open source like this, you can't do handholding. That is because there are so many different uses and different unique environments and setups for it, but I remember thinking a few times that if they only just said this."
"Improving JMeter's sync time would be beneficial."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"[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."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"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."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
