We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and ReadyAPI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Performance Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"With the help of the Mock Services, we are overcoming everything. Wherever we are facing issues, whether they will be long term or temporary, by implementing the Mock Services we can bypass the faulty components that are not needed for our particular testing."
"The stability is good."
"The on-the-fly test data improved our testing productivity a lot. The new test data features changed how we test the applications because there are different things we can do. We can use mock data or real data. We can also build data based on different formats."
"The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"For me, the best part is that we can graphically see the test result at runtime. It helps us understand the behavior of the application during all stages of the test."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"The great thing about ReadyAPI is that it has a wide variety of functions. You can test any API that you come across. You are not limited to one type of API. It supports many APIs."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's easy to implement."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the scripting tools and the connectivity to external data sources, such as Excel and PDF files. There are plenty of useful features that are useful, such as automating flexibility and usability. Overall, the solution is easy to use."
"When you are working in sprints, you need to have continuous feedback. ReadyAPI definitely helps in automating very fast and rapidly. We have less coding, and we can more easily define our assertions. We don't use it for full-blown performance testing, but normally if you are doing your functional testing, it gives you the request and response time. Anybody who is doing functional testing can see what the request and response times are and raise a flag based upon their business affiliates, that is, whether it is meeting their affiliates. You can identify this during functional testing."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"Having more options for customization would be helpful."
"Potential areas for improvement could include pricing, configuration, setup, and addressing certain limitations."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"BlazeMeter has room for improvement in terms of its integration with GitLab, particularly in the context of CI/CD processes. While it has multiple integrations available, the level of integration with GitLab may need further enhancements. It is known to work well with Git and Jenkins, although the extent of compatibility with GitLab is uncertain."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"We encountered some minor bugs, and I would like to have the ability to add load generators to workspaces without having to use APIs. We can't do that now, so we're beholden to the APIs."
"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"A possible improvement could be the integration with APM tools."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
"There are lots of options within the solution, however they are not upfront or user-friendly."
"In terms of features, I have already raised different change requests on the ReadyAPI side. One of the largest functions I've requested is the validation of the payload for the REST APIs."
"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"What needs improvement in ReadyAPI is its load testing feature because there was a hiccup when my team performed some load testing on the tool. My team had meetings with the ReadyAPI team and tried to get that issue fixed, but it still hasn't improved. This is a shortcoming of the tool, especially when you compare it with HP LoadRunner."
"The reporting is not very robust and needs to be improved."
