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.

Testing automation solution that is scriptless and is competitively priced compared to other solutions
The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it. Within four weeks, my team was up and running. This was the shortest possible ramp-up that we completed in my entire career The integrations for this…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The object repository is one of the best in the market, allowing creation of a repository useful for all tests."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement is its occasional slowness."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"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."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"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."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is high."
"There are no additional costs involved apart from the standard license."
"OpenText UFT One is a very expensive solution."
"It took about five years to break even. UFT is costly."
"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."
"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 licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"Compared to other products, the solution is very expensive."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
