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."This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"It is open source as well as relatively extendable. It allows us to extend and add additional functionality and features. Its deployment is also very easy."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"It's easy to set up."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"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."
"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."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"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."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"Considering the kinds of tests we are performing here, where we launch several tests at the same time as a batch request, JMeter is not the best tool for the job. Those kinds of things could be done easily with other tools, like T6."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"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."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"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."
