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."It's stable and reliable."
"Apache JMeter is quite flexible."
"It's easy to set up."
"It is scalable. You can scale up to 1,000 users in JMeter. If you can put up four slave servers, you can easily ramp up to 1,000 users."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"The most valuable feature for us is the available information on the forums and to be able to discuss and get answers from the people that are involved in using this tool."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"It is very quick and user-friendly."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"The UI of the solution needs to be better. The UI takes up a lot of our bandwidth."
"It has some proxy-based dependencies which require specific proxies to be set up or disabled, which causes problems."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
