Provides good stability and a valuable object identification feature
We evaluated data testing for millions of records. As per architecture, it can efficiently run a few thousands of records. However, we couldn't implement it for millions of records. Thus, it works well for a small amount of data. We have 30 users for it in our organization and use it daily. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform contributes to faster test release cycles."
"UFT provides object identification, which is one of the easiest to use."
"The stop automation is a great feature."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"The scalability of Micro Focus UFT One is good."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"Being able to automate different applications makes day-to-day activities a lot easier."
 

Cons

"The platform's reporting aspects can be broader and include more granular details."
"Previously, the product was a script-based solution. Presently, the tool offers non-script, no-code, or low-code functionalities, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"The overall design needs an entire overhaul. We prefer software designed to ensure the package isn't too loaded."
"There could be improvements in report export features similar to SmartBear."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"The solution needs better marketing, training, promotion, and visibility because it is not visible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. It can be optimized."
"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 of the product is an issue."
"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"Its price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The licensing cost is high. There are no additional costs to the standard license."
"The price is reasonable."
