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."We find the load testing feature valuable."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jenkins and the reporting."
"The thread groups, samplers, and listeners, which are all determined by the script's requirements, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"We appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"The most valuable feature in JMeter is the Thread Group, which helps us to see whether the performance is good."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"It's easy to set up."
"Anyone with basic knowledge can build an API."
"The most valuable features of Apigee for me are analytics, security, ease of use, and integration capabilities."
"Apigee is an easy-to-use solution."
"Apigee Analytics dashboard is useful to monitor transactions, error percentage, transaction latency, etc."
"Lifecycle management."
"Apigee is very easy to use, and you can code in any language."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"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 tool needs to have a better Graphical User Interface. Many of the solution's features are difficult to understand due to the complex user interface and user experience. The product needs to add plugins. It should also work on the integration with external partners like IDE and API gateways."
"Apache JMeter's UI can be made more colorful."
"In terms of setup, it could be nicer, to be honest. Sometimes, I get a little bit lost."
"We would like some reporting and analysis tools to be added to this solution."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"JMeter's reporting is extremely rudimentary. The fundamental reporting mechanisms need to be drastically improved. It doesn't utilize an automatic session management mechanism or methods other tools use like parsing cookies and variables. Everything needs to be done manually. There's no automation."
"Running JMeter in GUI mode uses a lot of memory, which means we need to switch to a non-GUI mode when using a heavy load."
"At present, if the number of virtual users increases beyond 10,000 when testing, then it results in a Java heap which causes the solution to crash."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"Technical support model for OPDK should be more exposed and mature in terms of providing support during installation, run, and debug of Apigee in production on OPDK mode."
"Maintaining and deploying revisions need to be more defined."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"We are experiencing issues with automation; the production in Apigee is quite time-consuming."
"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"When there is an update on a new version or an automatic update, you have to be present and double-check that the update is reflected in the environment with no issues."
