Using sagemath:

To check if given ring is UFD, use the category UniqueFactorizationDomains()

For example:

   QQ in UniqueFactorizationDomains()
   True
   ZZ[sqrt(-5)] in UniqueFactorizationDomains()
   False

To read more about it, see sage documents, and about polynomial rings, see this article
