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."It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"User-friendly and open source."
"The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"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 appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to launch many requests and scheduling simulating human interactions with the application."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"The central monitoring feature is the most valuable. It also provides security for the APIs and high availability for our use cases. Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions. It helps in fast development, which is a top point. It also supports a lot of industry standards and has excellent documentation."
"Apigee provides out-of-the-box policies, so it is ready to use with minimal configuration to those policies. You can govern your API and manage the life cycle of the API completely with the Apigee tool."
"Apigee is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients."
"Items around the mobilization of the API interface and the ability to automate validations for our APIs are the most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable features are scalability and technical support."
"It is scalable."
"One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies. When it comes to the cloud-based architecture, there is a high level of reliability."
"The analytics feature is quite good."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"JMeter's reporting is extremely rudimentary. The fundamental reporting mechanisms need to be drastically improved. It doesn't utilize an automatic session management mechanism or methods other tools use like parsing cookies and variables. Everything needs to be done manually. There's no automation."
"JMeter output reports can be difficult to understand without training."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"I sometimes found the documentation to be not as explanatory as I would've liked it. In the cases that I can think of, I was looking for a rather hand-holding approach with Step A, B, and C, but then I realized that with a product that is open source like this, you can't do handholding. That is because there are so many different uses and different unique environments and setups for it, but I remember thinking a few times that if they only just said this."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
"The company needs to better support webhooks. It used to support webhooks and their policies and they have since stopped. They had some issues in the product and they abandoned the support for them. It's not come back since."
"The initial setup is not straightforward, particularly for hybrid solutions."
"It needs predictive analysis of consumption."
"I see some lagging in regards to integration capacity"
"As it is now, the rotation of certificates is a manual task and is something that can be improved."
"The user interface could be better. It could be easier to navigate and more user-friendly."
"The integration could be improved within the solution. There is a need to pay more attention to this."
