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 gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"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."
"Very user-friendly and easy to use."
"JMeter is a free tool with a large user population, which comes in handy because we have a vast knowledge base to tap into when needed. It's also easier to hire consultants who know JMeter."
"I use all the tools, but one feature that stands out is JMeter's ability to test when services are sending a particular kind of request. We are using specific ports to send queries, and assess the performance based on the time it takes these queries to respond. You can use it with stuff other than the web performance."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"JMeter is easy to use for a user who doesn't have too much knowledge of programming or certain languages."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"For traditional automation, approximately half of our tests end up automated. Therefore, we are saving half the testing time by pushing it off to automation. That gives it an intrinsic benefit of more time for manual testers and business testers to work on possibly more important and interesting things. For some of our applications, they don't just have to do happy path testing anymore, they can go more in-depth and breadth into the process."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"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."
"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."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"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."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"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."
"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
