We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Professional 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."We don't find any features lacking. One of the most beneficial points we have from LoadRunner is we start sizing our infrastructure accordingly. So what we do is when we deploy a new workload, we do performance testing."
"There are various languages that they allow those programs to be written in, whether you want to use Java or something else."
"It is a good and stable tool."
"I am impressed with the tool's correlation function."
"The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"It is an advanced tool with multiple options available for the performance system."
"A very comprehensive tool that is good for performance testing."
"Scaling is definitely one of the best features of this solution. There are no issues scaling to 10,000 or 20,000 concurrent users."
"We can scale."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"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."
"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."
"The product is pretty heavy and should be more lightweight."
"I would like to have better support for adding more users per load generator."
"You should be able to use LoadRunner as a single platform. You should be able to have browser based access. You should be able to run enterprise tests."
"The pricing model, selling model, and business model need to be adjusted. For non-enterprise organizations, Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional is too expensive and not worth the cost."
"The flexibility could be improved."
"The price of this solution should be cheaper."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high-quality technical support, I rate the support a one."
"The solution is very costly. The cost is very high, especially considering a lot of other resources are available now and they are less expensive. For a small organization, it is very difficult to sustain the costs involved in having the solution or the related fees"
"I'd not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"We need some time to understand and configure the solution."
"It is very slow sometimes."
"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
"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."
