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."The product helps me get the expected performance from applications or servers and reduces costs. It also enhances the performance of the services and helped them reach their ultimate capacity."
"It's very easy to install, and it's very easy to code and develop the script."
"The reporting features are really good. There's a lot less latency than other solutions."
"The scripting ability is most valuable. It is easy to use. There is a UI, and you can go in there and figure those things out. After you've got a good set of tests, you basically have a scripted document that you can grab and execute in a pipeline. It is pretty quick to set up, and you can scale it and version control it."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"The biggest thing I liked about it is that there is a huge user base out there, and being shareware and being Apache, if I have any question on how to get something done, I get 18 different answers. Out of those, there would be at least a few good approaches for what I was trying to do. So, the support system out there is most valuable."
"It is cost-effective and simple to use."
"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."
"A simple platform that's easier to work with than IBM API Connect. Support for it is really good and gives it advantage over other providers."
"The most valuable feature of Apigee is its simplicity of deploying an API and restricting access, like rate limit, with the API."
"Technical support has been decent."
"A special feature is configuring target servers, proxy config, and Cert related security, which regularizes incoming traffic from cloud users or external applications to internal applications in a secured manner."
"It accelerates development and deployment processes."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"The most important feature is the security capabilities and the way it integrates very quickly with other security providers. We have integrated it with Azure and it integrates quite seamlessly."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"Report generation needs to be improved. It is quite difficult to get to."
"Both scalability and stability could be improved in Apache JMeter."
"I need to consider it further because as features increase, it might become more complicated, and my goal has always been simplicity. Currently, I have to focus on other tasks, and I'm handling multiple responsibilities, so I can't juggle everything at once. However, if you ask me, I believe EJB covers most functionalities that are crucial. One improvement I'd suggest is adding a graphical aspect to the Gateway, making it a bit more colorful. Unlike JMeter, which lacks color, having a bit of color in the graphical aspects would be beneficial. Overall, for the essential features, EJB should work fine."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"It has some proxy-based dependencies which require specific proxies to be set up or disabled, which causes problems."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"The solution needs more metrics for reporting."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"Apigee could do more to make users aware of what is available in the add-ons."
"We do not have control over the installation."
"Areas like traffic handling of incoming requests, security features between third-parties and Apigee, and between Apigee and internal network servers, resources, or JSON areas, etc."
"I'd like this solution to improve on releasing new features; I'd like it to be more frequent."
"Could be more user friendly."
"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The Apigee cloud admin UI could be more user-friendly by adding a few more features."
