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 solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"We are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"We find the load testing feature valuable."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"We like that Apache JMeter has different features and different plugins and that they are free of charge."
"The most valuable feature for us is the available information on the forums and to be able to discuss and get answers from the people that are involved in using this tool."
"The most valuable features of Apache JMeter are user-friendliness, large resource, and the quality of assistance they provide. Additionally, it is easy to integrate with cloud platforms, such as AWS."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."
"I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve."
"It is a stable solution."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"The solution's setup could be easier and security could be improved to minimize vulnerabilities."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"The reporting is not very good."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"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."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"[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."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"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."
