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."JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable feature. Also, the ability to easily create test cases is also very good. It's easy to just ramp up on the solution."
"The most valuable features of Apache JMeter are user-friendliness, large resource, and the quality of assistance they provide. Additionally, it is easy to integrate with cloud platforms, such as AWS."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"The reports and analysis tools are very good. They are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"JMeter's reporting is extremely rudimentary. The fundamental reporting mechanisms need to be drastically improved. It doesn't utilize an automatic session management mechanism or methods other tools use like parsing cookies and variables. Everything needs to be done manually. There's no automation."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"The reports in Apache JMeter could improve."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"It should start supporting the presentation layer. It currently provides performance testing specifically at the application and API level. It can be extended to the presentation layer, which includes mainly Angular and React frameworks. It should also be easy to use and easy to train people."
"You really need a technical team in order to really utilize the product."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"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."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"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."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
