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 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."
"User-friendly and open source."
"The most valuable feature in JMeter is the Thread Group, which helps us to see whether the performance is good."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"JMeter is basically the art of the entire performance testing process."
"API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"The UI could be better."
"Until now, JMeter is not supporting most of the protocols."
"At present, if the number of virtual users increases beyond 10,000 when testing, then it results in a Java heap which causes the solution to crash."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner we can go from the UI and we can configure it. There is no such feature in Apache JMeter. There should be UI-based recording history or logs."
"The initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"One thing that confused me, and now just mildly irritates me, is that we migrated from QuickTest Pro to HP UFT, Unified Functional Test. After we did the migration, it turned out that we didn't really have Unified Functional Test at all."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"Sometimes, the results' file size can be intense. I wish it was a little more compact."
"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."
"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."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
