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."The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"The most valuable feature for us is the available information on the forums and to be able to discuss and get answers from the people that are involved in using this tool."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"The product helps me get the expected performance from applications or servers and reduces costs. It also enhances the performance of the services and helped them reach their ultimate capacity."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"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."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"The user interface is a little bit tricky."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"There is some work to be done with the integration."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"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'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased. Open-source alternatives have a broad scope. Also, it's sometimes difficult to make connections between two of the components in the UFT mobile center. It should be easier to set up the wireless solution because we have to set both. We directly integrate Selenium and APM, so we should try to cover all the features they have in APM and Selenium with the UFT mobile."
"Technical support could be improved."
Apache JMeter is ranked 3rd in API Testing Tools with 82 reviews while OpenText UFT One is ranked 4th in API Testing Tools with 89 reviews. Apache JMeter is rated 7.8, while OpenText UFT One is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of Apache JMeter writes "It's a free tool with a vast knowledge base, but the reporting is lackluster, and it has a steep learning curve". On the other hand, the top reviewer of OpenText UFT One writes "With regularly occurring releases, a QA team member can schedule tests, let the tests run unattended, and then examine the results". Apache JMeter is most compared with BlazeMeter, Postman, Tricentis NeoLoad, OpenText LoadRunner Professional and Katalon Studio, whereas OpenText UFT One is most compared with Tricentis Tosca, OpenText UFT Developer, Katalon Studio, SmartBear TestComplete and UiPath Test Suite.
