Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's simple to set up.""It helps in identifying defects earlier. With manual testing, that 15-day timeline meant there were times when we would find defects on the 11th or 12th day of the cycle, but with automation we are able to run the complete suite within a day and we are able to find the failures. It helps us to provide early feedback.""The stop automation is a great feature.""I like the fact that we can use LeanFT with our UFT licenses as well.""The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP).""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 solution has good out-of-the-box protocols.""The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."

"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses.""The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs.""The tool is simple and easy.""What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members.""Simple to use and you can easily store your projects.""I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature.""This solution offers a free version.""The API testing features are valuable."

Cons
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent.""Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers.""Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected.""The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded.""I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution.""We'd like it to have less scripting.""I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved.""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."

More OpenText UFT One Cons →

"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature.""The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct.""Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult.""I would like to see more integrations with other platforms.""We cannot see transaction times in the product.""The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification.""The performance needs to be improved.""Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
  • "The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
  • "It's an expensive solution."
  • "For the price of five automation licenses, you simply would not be able to hire five manual testers for two years worth of 24/7 manual testing work on demand."
  • "The price is only $3,000. I don't know how many QA analysts you would have in any given company. Probably no more than five or 10. So if it's a large corporation, it can easily afford $15,000 to $25,000. I don't see that being an issue."
  • "The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
  • "The pricing fee is good. If someone makes use of the solution once a day for a half hour then the fee will be more expensive. For continuous use and application of the solution to different use cases, the fee is average."
  • "The price is one aspect that could be improved."

  • "It is free."
  • "We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
  • "We are using the free version that is available."
  • "Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
  • "The solution is open-source and free."
  • "I am using the free option."
  • "Postman is a free service."
  • "Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
