We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise 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."Now that LoadRunner integrates with Dynatrace and other monitoring tools, it simplifies the process of integration into a company, taking merely five minutes to set up. This ease of integration allows for quick comparison of monitoring and performance results, a feature I highly appreciate."
"The host performance testing of any application using a host/controller is the most valuable feature."
"We have a centralized delivery team and we are able to meet enterprise requirements, which include different types of protocols that are involved, including scripting. The technology supports that and enables us to have a wider range of testing. Enterprise-level testing is something that we are satisfied with."
"The most valuable aspect of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the overall support it has for a lot of different applications and defined domains."
"The solution offers helpful guidelines and has good documentation."
"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting, correlations, and parameterization. Debugging is also easy."
"The most valuable feature is the Vuser protocols."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature has been the assertion as a test step as this has allowed us to increase the scope of testing and validation."
"The feature that allows you to import an API collection or a project is valuable."
"When we are doing API testing we have found it to be very efficient to receive results. Additionally, you are able to do tests directly from the API."
"This solution is very intuitive. Once you finish your first few testing cases, you can change several parameters and create lots of testing cases. You could use the same testing cases for different purposes such as automation, performance and screen testing."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the drag-and-drop options and the integration with versioning tool solutions, such as Git."
"The performance testing capabilities are very good."
"It's easy to learn how to use it."
"While the stability is generally good, there are a few strange issues that crop up unexpectedly which affect consistent use of the product."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"They had wanted to change the GUI to improve the look and feel. However, since that time, we see a lot of hanging issues."
"We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application."
"I think better support for cloud-based load generators would help. For example, integrate with Amazon AWS so you can quickly spin up a load generator in the cloud, use it, spin it down."
"When we have a new application, recording the application is a pretty tough task. We have tried multiple things. We do scripting or try to record with different settings and on different machines. We try to record multiple times, but we do not know why it is recording and why it is not recording. We do the same thing on different machines. It sometimes records, and at other times, it does not. That is one of the major concerns."
"The debugging feature needs to include graphs."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"ReadyAPI's customer support isn't that great, particularly their response time."
"Lacking flexibility of adding more custom verification for security testing."
"The initial setup could be less complex."
"The reporting is not very robust and needs to be improved."
"I don't like how they don't have a clear way to manage tests between multiple projects."
"ReadyAPI can improve because it is limited to only SOAP and REST services. They should update the solution to include more protocols so that other people are not limited to SOAP and REST services. Other than would be able to utilize it."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
