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.
AK
DevOps Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Shared change lists are helpful, but poor scalability leads to problems with instability
The biggest problems with this solution have to do with scale. If the load is high then your request is put on hold for a second, and then you have to handle it. If you make a lot of requests then it is your problem. It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time. Any additional request would be put on hold and made to wait for a few seconds. Once the network and infrastructure are loaded to handle the next request, it would proceed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"My advice to anybody who is considering this product is that it integrates well into your environment, is easy to use, easy to maintain, and makes your development efforts more efficient."
"The solution is in the top list for automatic functional testing."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"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."
"The most valuable features are its support for multiple technologies, ease of coding, object repository, and ability to design our own framework. The recording playback feature allows those unfamiliar with coding to use the tool."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"​Record and Replay to ease onboarding of new users."
"The most valuable feature is the option to pull changes from others or make local changes in your own change list."
 

Cons

"The solution is 70-80% stable. Stability really depends on the servers or the license which we have installed."
"It’s in the middle and not always 100% reliable."
"It needs better compatibility with Chrome and Safari, which would lead to this being a better product."
"Getting it to interact with ALM nicely has been a challenge for us sometimes."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"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."
"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."
"It would be very helpful if a queue was implemented to handle, for example, 100 requests at the same time."
"Generally, we can say that we have not had an excellent experience with Perforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"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 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.""
"It's an expensive solution."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
