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 solution helps by detecting bottlenecks."
"JMeter is a free tool with a large user population, which comes in handy because we have a vast knowledge base to tap into when needed. It's also easier to hire consultants who know JMeter."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"It's easy to set up."
"I appreciate JMeter's simplicity and power for performance testing."
"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 very quick and user-friendly."
"It is easy to set up."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports."
"The solution could use some sort of educational features to offer tips and hints to help users navigate it better. They should improve the manuals and help files."
"There are certain things like we can't merge custom metrics into the JMeter reports. We're limited to JMeter metrics, and other server metrics can't be integrated with JMeter dashboard. This forces us to rely on another tool."
"The installation needs some work. It could be simplified."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"The UI should be improved."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
"I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."
