We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and Apigee based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."User-friendly and open source."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"JMeter is a free tool with a large user population, which comes in handy because we have a vast knowledge base to tap into when needed. It's also easier to hire consultants who know JMeter."
"API testing, Database Testing, and MQ testing can be done with ease."
"We appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"We have been using Apigee mostly for proxy FGIs. We also use its security features as well as traffic control features."
"The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"The most valuable feature is monetization."
"Apigee gives you plenty of opportunities to set up your workspace depending on how you want to manage your APIs."
"It is scalable."
"The initial setup was easy - there was an onboarding document with steps that we followed."
"Easy interface to monetize and deliver APIs with very easy integration for third-party development environments/delivery."
"The solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files."
"Apache JMeter could use improvement in reporting. Currently, it isn't easy to generate reports in PDF format. While receiving reports in PDF format is possible, it requires a lot of customization. Additionally, when comparing the load test to others solutions it could improve."
"If JMeter could integrate with the EPM solution, it would be great. It could also be improved by offering more integrations for security. For example, most applications are secure with OpenID Connect protocols."
"If JMeter could provide a web version of editing, that would be good."
"Apache should have a graphic interface."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"They should improve the solution on its UI front."
"Compared to its competitors, such as Axway AMPLIFY API Management and Layer7 API Management, Apigee could benefit from having more policies to cater to various use cases. This would reduce the need for writing custom JavaScripts. If more features come straight out of the box, we can leverage them instead of writing custom code to achieve the same functionality."
"It would be good if the Apigee management allowed us to be able to consolidate many operations into single one for the gateway functionality."
"There should be an integrated continuous integration and continuous deployment approach with Apigee. Currently, for development at a more integrated level, you have set it up yourself."
"iPaaS is something that we would like to see. For example, MuleSoft is kind of an integrated platform as a service (iPaaS), and it provides a lot of out-of-the-box connectors and other such things. This is where Apigee lacks. I'm not sure if that's the roadmap for Apigee, but any improvements on those lines would be helpful where things become easier to implement."
"Apigee on premise is quite complex and it is always moving faster."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"Proxy versioning seems a bit confusing/buried in the publishing experience, especially for the URI-based versioning approach."
"The technical support could be improved because their response time is slow."
