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."We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature in JMeter is the Thread Group, which helps us to see whether the performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"The inside object repository is nice. We can use that and learn it through the ALM connection. That's a good feature. The reporting and smart identification features are also excellent."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"The most valuable features for us are the GUI, the easy identification of objects, and folder structure creation."
"It's simple to set up."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"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 initial setup is complex and needs to be upgraded."
"Currently, the integration pipeline is implemented by using Jenkins or a similar tool platform. These are continuous integration tools. As far as I know, integration is done by using custom scripts. It would be good if the integration with a continuous integration pipeline, like Jenkins or Hudson, can be done out of the box without using a script."
"Apache JMeter could use improvement in reporting. Currently, it isn't easy to generate reports in PDF format. While receiving reports in PDF format is possible, it requires a lot of customization. Additionally, when comparing the load test to others solutions it could improve."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"There are certain things like we can't merge custom metrics into the JMeter reports. We're limited to JMeter metrics, and other server metrics can't be integrated with JMeter dashboard. This forces us to rely on another tool."
"The tool needs to have a better Graphical User Interface. Many of the solution's features are difficult to understand due to the complex user interface and user experience. The product needs to add plugins. It should also work on the integration with external partners like IDE and API gateways."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"One of the drawbacks is that mobile performance testing is in need of improvement."
"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."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"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 product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"They should include an automated feature to load backlog tests."
"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."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
