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 features that I appreciate are quite basic. It is easy to ramp up the threads and start calling the application. A lot of connectors can already be found within Apache JMeter, but we are not using the entire set because the integration between the customers and platform is based on HTTP. We are just going to produce lots of HTTP sequences."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"The reports and analysis tools are very good. They are the solution's most valuable features."
"API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"The solution's initial setup is easy."
"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."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"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 is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"The best feature of UFT by far is its compatibility with a large variety of products, tools and technologies. It is currently a challenge to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully automate tests for so many projects and environments."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"The solution has good out-of-the-box protocols."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"We would like more documentation to be provided for the advanced level features that are available in this solution, in order to improve development."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"One of the drawbacks of JMeter is that it can't handle a large amount of load, which forces us to switch to other tools when we need to load more than a 5,000 or 10,000 user load."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"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."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"Jumping to functions is supported from any Action/BPT Component code, but not from inside a function library where the target function exists in another library file. Workaround: Select search entire project for the function."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"The scripting language could be improved. They're currently using Visual Basic, but I think that people need something more advanced, like Python or Java."
"We'd like it to have less scripting."
"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."
