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 distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"What I like best about Apache JMeter is its user-friendly GUI because even if you don't have very good coding knowledge or understanding, or even if you don't come from a development background, you can still use the solution with just a few clicks. This is what's unique about Apache JMeter, in comparison with other tools in the market. As Apache JMeter is open source, when there's a missing feature, you can search in several community blogs for plugins that you can use to modify Apache JMeter to meet your requirements, and this is another advantage."
"The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"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."
"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."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"The reporting is not very good."
"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"Technical support could be improved."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"The UA objects are sometimes hard to recognize, so the coverage should be increased. Open-source alternatives have a broad scope. Also, it's sometimes difficult to make connections between two of the components in the UFT mobile center. It should be easier to set up the wireless solution because we have to set both. We directly integrate Selenium and APM, so we should try to cover all the features they have in APM and Selenium with the UFT mobile."
