Featured Reviews

Kevin Copple - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. Quality Assurance Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Has supported faster test execution and increased flexibility while offering room to improve support responsiveness
Reducing the levels of support is something they could continue to improve. They tend to have an entry-level person that may not be as familiar with the product that fields the calls, which creates another day of delay to get to the level that's needed. This is a common practice across most companies where you call, you get the entry-level person, and then they work their way up to help screen calls so that they are more focused.

Senior Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Experienced ease in automation with strong support while seeking improvements in low-code options
OpenText Functional Testing Lab for Mobile and Web offers flexibility of deployment, from on-premises to UFT One which is on the cloud. They provide capability for immediate deployment, and assets can be migrated easily. They include enablers specifically for quick migration of test assets. While I have not personally been involved in these migrations, I have observed some clients using it directly while others make a complete shift from OpenText to Tricentis platforms. There have not been many clients moving from OpenText platforms from on-premises to cloud because most shifts have been toward different product categories such as Tricentis altogether.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The fact that it works with a vast number of technologies works for us because our internal customers use the tool for testing a lot of different applications."
"Since I started, we invested in UFT and automation and we have significantly reduced our release cycle time."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications, and it is very productive in terms of execution."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"OpenText UFT One offered valuable features by allowing us to build up libraries to streamline repetitive tasks, making scripting much easier."
"It is easy to automate and new personnel can start learning automation using UFT One. You don't have to learn any scripting."
"For test automation, it helps to speed up the testing and to speed up the software delivery, especially for HPE UFT because you have lots of test automation tools."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"This helped my prior organization immensely due to the ability to remotely manipulate devices, even by offshore vendors."
"The solution provides a controlled device farm with the right devices (selected based on analytics), that are readily available (can be reserved), have the right app and can be used for manual or automated tests."
"The ease of use and being able to enroll more people into developing test scripts using their AI function, which they call AI but is OCR recognition, is significant."
"They've all been really satisfied with the scalability of the HPE products."
"Using the existing enterprise tools, like UFT, or even if you want to go open source, you can use them and it's a real user-functional performance, we are able to achieve that."
"We evaluated other mobile testing solutions and found this to be superior to all of them."
"The solution is easy to use. There are features to orchestrate mobile testing, including mobile testing automation. You can test different devices at the same time."
"The fact that it allows users to test on real mobile devices instead of emulators is something that projects have told us is beyond compare."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved"
"It's hard to install the license seat because the web-based GUI is not user friendly."
"It’s in the middle and not always 100% reliable."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"This tool is good for programming experts."
"We would like to see smart identification (captures a unique object during testing) work more reliably."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."
"We need to scale devices easily. Some customers would like to loop in AWS or other cloud providers to check if their devices have the cloud factor. OpenText UFT Digital Lab needs to improve it."
"Digital Lab is a pretty solid product with areas that could be continuously improved on."
"The documentation and user interface both need improvement."
"They should introduce a pay-per-use subscription model."
"Because of connection errors, we've haven't yet been able to set it up properly at my company."
"I think the biggest issues that I've seen, and this is a personal view of mine, is that most of the HPE products have a common look and feel to them."
"For the most part, the key challenge is ensuring that customers fully utilize the product as intended and adopt the appropriate frameworks to implement the solutions effectively."
"I think the interface is not very good and I have used other solutions that are easier to learn."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE recently extended the demo license period from 30 days to 60 days which was a very wise and popular decision to give potential customers more time to install it and try it for free. Even if your company has a salesperson come in and demo UFT, I would highly encourage at least one of your developers or automation engineers to download and install it to explore for themselves the functionality and features included during the demo trial period."
"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."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"The pricing of the product is an issue."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"It's an expensive solution."
"OpenText UFT Digital Lab's pricing is average, and I rate it a five out of ten."
"The product could be more affordable."
"While the pricing may seem relatively high, when compared to competitors, it often falls in line or can even be more cost-effective."
