We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and ReadyAPI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"It is easy to set up."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"The solution is a stable one."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"A single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and service actualization."
"It's easy to implement."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the drag-and-drop options and the integration with versioning tool solutions, such as Git."
"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."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"The great thing about ReadyAPI is that it has a wide variety of functions. You can test any API that you come across. You are not limited to one type of API. It supports many APIs."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"The interface is ok and they have the ability to re-load tests so that you can reuse them."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"It has low productivity."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"The overall scope of this solution is limited and could be improved."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"In terms of features, I have already raised different change requests on the ReadyAPI side. One of the largest functions I've requested is the validation of the payload for the REST APIs."
"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."
"What needs improvement in ReadyAPI is its load testing feature because there was a hiccup when my team performed some load testing on the tool. My team had meetings with the ReadyAPI team and tried to get that issue fixed, but it still hasn't improved. This is a shortcoming of the tool, especially when you compare it with HP LoadRunner."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
"The reporting in ReadyAPI could be better. It can become sloppy, sometimes it works and other times it does not."
