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."The solution offers flexibility with its configurations."
"It is a stable solution. When we compare BlazeMeter with other tools in the market, I can say that the solution's overall performance has also been very good in our company."
"I really like the recording because when I use the JMeter the scripting a lot of recording it takes me a lot of time to get used to. The BlazeMeter the recording is quick."
"The on-the-fly test data improved our testing productivity a lot. The new test data features changed how we test the applications because there are different things we can do. We can use mock data or real data. We can also build data based on different formats."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that BlazeMeter provides easy access to its users while also ensuring that its reporting functionalities are good."
"Using cloud-based load generators is highly valuable to us, as we can test from outside our network and increase load generation without having to upscale our hardware as much. The cloud load generator is there when we need it and is the feature we leverage the most."
"BlazeMeter can be used for both API and performance testing, it is a multi-facility tool."
"With the help of the Mock Services, we are overcoming everything. Wherever we are facing issues, whether they will be long term or temporary, by implementing the Mock Services we can bypass the faulty components that are not needed for our particular testing."
"It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has the ability to combine it with different CI/CD tools."
"ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible."
"The interface is ok and they have the ability to re-load tests so that you can reuse them."
"A single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and service actualization."
"When you are working in sprints, you need to have continuous feedback. ReadyAPI definitely helps in automating very fast and rapidly. We have less coding, and we can more easily define our assertions. We don't use it for full-blown performance testing, but normally if you are doing your functional testing, it gives you the request and response time. Anybody who is doing functional testing can see what the request and response times are and raise a flag based upon their business affiliates, that is, whether it is meeting their affiliates. You can identify this during functional testing."
"It's easy to automate for more data-driven testing."
"The Timeline Report panel has no customization options. One feature that I missed was not having a time filter, which I had in ELK. For example, there are only filter requests for a time of less than 5 seconds."
"Integration with APM tools like Dynatrace or AppDynamics needs to be improved."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to have the ability to customize reports."
"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"Version controlling of the test cases and the information, the ability to compare the current version and the previous version within Runscope would be really nice. The history shows who made the changes, but it doesn't compare the changes."
"The scanning capability needs improvement."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"A possible improvement could be the integration with APM tools."
"I don't like how they don't have a clear way to manage tests between multiple projects."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
"The initial setup could be less complex."
"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"The reporting in ReadyAPI could be better. It can become sloppy, sometimes it works and other times it does not."
