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 solution's initial setup is easy."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Apache JMeter is stable."
"It's a free tool."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"It is a stable solution."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"Given that Apache JMeter is a free and open-source tool, documentation improvement may not be a major concern, as it is mostly contributed on a voluntary basis. The essential information is already available. However, in terms of the interface, there are occasional bugs, and the tool may not address them as quickly as some users would like. Fixing defects and bugs might take a considerable amount of time, with users sometimes having to wait for several months or even a year for the next release to address specific issues."
"If JMeter could integrate with the EPM solution, it would be great. It could also be improved by offering more integrations for security. For example, most applications are secure with OpenID Connect protocols."
"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 initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"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."
"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."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
