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."Apache JMeter is well-known and widely used among developers, particularly on popular developer forums. While it may not have the most user-friendly interface, it offers strong support through official manuals and various articles from companies providing load testing services. The tool is free, has a substantial community, and serves as a fundamental choice for testers, especially those new to performance testing. While other tools like K6 may be more developer-oriented, JMeter's affordability and accessibility make it suitable for those without extensive performance testing experience."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"The most valuable features of Apache JMeter are user-friendliness, large resource, and the quality of assistance they provide. Additionally, it is easy to integrate with cloud platforms, such as AWS."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"JMeter's most valuable feature is the RegEx Extractor."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."
"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 production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"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."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"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 UI of the solution needs to be better. The UI takes up a lot of our bandwidth."
"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."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"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."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
