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."It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"We find the load testing feature valuable."
"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."
"It's a free tool."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"The biggest thing I liked about it is that there is a huge user base out there, and being shareware and being Apache, if I have any question on how to get something done, I get 18 different answers. Out of those, there would be at least a few good approaches for what I was trying to do. So, the support system out there is most valuable."
"I appreciate JMeter's simplicity and power for performance testing."
"The solution is free. You don't need to worry about licensing costs."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"The UI could be better."
"Apache JMeter could be a more user-friendly product from the end user's perspective."
"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."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Because so much is being done these days with authentication processes, a better system for either getting bearer tokens or some kind of token-based authentication prior to executing APIs would benefit the product. It is there, and you can do things. It is just not real clean at this point. There should be a better authentication process for JMeter or some automation or better guidelines for gaining and utilizing tokens on the fly."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Apache JMeter could use improvement in reporting. Currently, it isn't easy to generate reports in PDF format. While receiving reports in PDF format is possible, it requires a lot of customization. Additionally, when comparing the load test to others solutions it could improve."
"The solution is expensive."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
