We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and ReadyAPI Test 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."We are using it just for load testing. We are using its free version, and it is scalable."
"User-friendly and open source."
"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."
"The solution helps by detecting bottlenecks."
"It's easy to set up."
"JMeter's most valuable feature is the RegEx Extractor."
"This solution is easier to use than any other tool in the market; there is not even a requirement to learn a lot of scripting in order to use it."
"JMeter lets us generate virtual users and T-load, per our requirements. It's easy to configure and adjusting the virtual users according to the DPS we want to achieve."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The solution scales well."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"It will be much easier, and beneficial for the individual to run it on their own machines rather than having a high-end infrastructure, more CPUs, or more memory that has been consumed by Apache JMeter."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"The reporting is not very good."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"Given that Apache JMeter is a free and open-source tool, documentation improvement may not be a major concern, as it is mostly contributed on a voluntary basis. The essential information is already available. However, in terms of the interface, there are occasional bugs, and the tool may not address them as quickly as some users would like. Fixing defects and bugs might take a considerable amount of time, with users sometimes having to wait for several months or even a year for the next release to address specific issues."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
"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."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"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."
