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 like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The metrics part of it and the ability to write your custom code to do some specific tests in the performance testing space are the most valuable features."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"It is easy to set up."
"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."
"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."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"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 solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"Modeling a test is difficult. If you don't have much knowledge, you won't be able to do it easily. Testing APIs is also difficult."
"The memory utilization in JMeter is very poor."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"The UI of the solution needs to be better. The UI takes up a lot of our bandwidth."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"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."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
