We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and ReadyAPI Performance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Load Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature of Apache JMeter is its popularity. It is the best open-source tool with all the features needed."
"It's a free tool."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"The recording and playback functionality is helpful."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"We can scale."
"ReadyAPI automation can help us validate the functionality of most web services, allowing us to find out the exact number of defects before deployment to the user interface."
"he initial deployment process is easy."
"It stores good reports, as in, improved reports if compared with the SoapUI. It also has in-built security. You just need to switch and check the security testing. My team has never used it, but I know ReadyAPI provides those facilities as well."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"We would like more documentation to be provided for the advanced level features that are available in this solution, in order to improve development."
"The UI needs some work. The first time I used JMeter, I couldn't record the full scenario to mimic the user experience. Since then, they have introduced some plugins and a third-party tool called BlazeMeter."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"The solution needs more metrics for reporting."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"The reporting section of the solution can be better."
"In Micro Focus LoadRunner we can go from the UI and we can configure it. There is no such feature in Apache JMeter. There should be UI-based recording history or logs."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
"I'd not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"It is very slow sometimes."
"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"This solution could be improved by offering artificial AI testing in addition to API testing. For example, we would like to have machine learning testing because when test applications, manual work could be completed automatically using this functionality."
"This is an area for improvement with the tool. We unnecessarily use JMeter for some website testing, which we would like to avoid by introducing this tool for API and load testing because it provides load testing features."
"We need some time to understand and configure the solution."
