We performed a comparison between HCL AppScan and OpenText UFT One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."It highlights, with several grades of severity, the types of vulnerabilities, so we can focus on the most severe security vulnerabilities in the code."
"Compared to other tools only AppScan supports special language."
"For me, as a manager, it was the ease of use. Inserting security into the development process is not normally an easy project to do. The ability for the developer to actually use it and get results and focuses, that's what counted."
"AppScan is stable."
"The reporting part is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Postman."
"The solution is easy to install. I would rate the product's setup between six to seven out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications that need to be scanned. We have a development and operations team to take care of the product's maintenance."
"The static scans are good, and the SaaS as well."
"The high-level security, high standard and compatible SAP are great."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"It's simple to set up."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."
"The solution often has a high number of false positives. It's an aspect they really need to improve upon."
"There is not a central management for static and dynamic."
"It's a little bit basic when you talk about the Web Services. If AppScan improved its maturity on Web Services testing, that would be good."
"They have to improve support."
"The solution could improve by having a mobile version."
"We have experienced challenges when trying to integrate this solution with other products. When you compare it with the other SecOps products, the quality of the output is too low. It is not a new-age product. It is very outdated."
"I would like to see the roadmap for this product. We are still waiting to see it as we have only so many resources."
"Many silly false positives are produced."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."
"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."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"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 have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"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."
