We performed a comparison between OpenText UFT One and ReadyAPI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well."
"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 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."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"When we are doing API testing we have found it to be very efficient to receive results. Additionally, you are able to do tests directly from the API."
"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."
"It can create stress tests very fast, and some features help you do it fast."
"The Excel sheet feature is good."
"It's easy to learn how to use it."
"It has the ability to combine it with different CI/CD tools."
"For anyone who does not have experience with automation, ReadyAPI provides a sense of comfort, especially for testers who find it hard to go directly into coding."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"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 want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"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."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"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."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, mainly from the point of view of integrating ReadyAPI into the CI pipelines, and also the scripting aspect into Bitbucket."
"ReadyAPI's customer support isn't that great, particularly their response time."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"Version control does not work well."
"To generate a test suite in API, I had to create a separate one each time because otherwise it was just override the test. Each API had to be added separately. I thought I could just have one and then create different methods, but I had to add each API separately to create the test for that. That is an area that could be improved."
"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
