BlazeMeter and OpenText UFT Developer are competing in the software testing tools category. BlazeMeter has the upper hand due to its cloud-based capabilities and flexibility, which offer significant advantages in scalability and integration.
Features: BlazeMeter offers robust load testing with easy cloud-based scaling, New Relic integration for performance insights, and support for JMeter scripts, ensuring adaptability for continuous testing. OpenText UFT Developer focuses on integration with IDEs like Eclipse and Visual Studio and supports languages like C# and Java, providing a developer-centric approach for creating automated test frameworks efficiently.
Room for Improvement: BlazeMeter could improve in customization, load generation initiation time, and access control. Enhancements in pricing flexibility and server hour calculations would benefit customers. OpenText UFT Developer faces challenges in stability, integration with new technologies, and supporting diverse testing scenarios. Improved parallel execution and competitive pricing are recommended.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BlazeMeter is praised for its cloud-based deployment, offering flexibility and scalability with responsive technical support. OpenText UFT Developer, mostly on-premises, might pose flexibility challenges for cloud-focused organizations, although its support is noted as effective.
Pricing and ROI: BlazeMeter provides flexible pricing models, including consumption-based and custom contracts, making it cost-effective with open-source integration capabilities. Some users find it expensive, but the benefits often justify the cost. OpenText UFT Developer's high pricing may limit its use to larger enterprises, despite its extensive feature set potentially justifying the expenditure in complex environments.

In some cases, object recognition is not 100%, and a customized solution is necessary.
BlazeMeter requires licensing, which means it is not free like JMeter, adding to the setup cost considerations.
The price of OpenText UFT Developer is a bit higher than expected, but there are no better tools available for a valid comparison.
BlazeMeter integrates with JMeter via multiple plugins, which streamlines performance testing, test monitoring, and report sharing.
