We performed a comparison between Eggplant Performance, OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise, and ReadyAPI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."We find the solution stable and scalable."
"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."
"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is easy to use and has flexibility that allows it to be used on a variety of applications."
"The solution is a very user-friendly tool, especially when you compare it to a competitor like BlazeMeter."
"The product is good, and the concept is good as well."
"This product is better oriented to large, enterprise-oriented organizations."
"The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance."
"The solution does support a wide range of technologies and protocols. Plus, two features, network virtualization, and service virtualization, are really helpful. Apart from that, the way they have their billing scenarios, like the execution, is very good."
"For me, LoadRunner stands out, especially with its reporting capabilities, the graphs that can be generated, and the unique feature of measuring our application's response alongside our infrastructure metrics, such as CPU, memory, or disk usage, all presented in graph form. This is something other applications struggle to match."
"Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the ready-to-use assertions and filters which can perform the validation. If we want to filter out any value, the filters are available. Apart from that database integration, if you want to go ahead and perform validation in the database layer it is possible with the ready-to-use feature available. The execution and reporting are rich features."
"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."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the scripting tools and the connectivity to external data sources, such as Excel and PDF files. There are plenty of useful features that are useful, such as automating flexibility and usability. Overall, the solution is easy to use."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"After they get over the acquisition, the first improvement is going to be tailoring it for their existing stack of other products. How would LoadRunner work for Documentum? How would it work for Business Network? How would it work for other apps? They can have a pre-package or a guide because they are all in the same family as opposed to being outside."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise doesn't support some mainframe protocols. We had to build scripts to access the interface."
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
"The solution is a very expensive tool when compared with other tools."
"When we have a new application, recording the application is a pretty tough task. We have tried multiple things. We do scripting or try to record with different settings and on different machines. We try to record multiple times, but we do not know why it is recording and why it is not recording. We do the same thing on different machines. It sometimes records, and at other times, it does not. That is one of the major concerns."
"It's not that popular on the cloud."
"Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons."
"They have performance testing also. However, it's not that great."
"I don't like how they don't have a clear way to manage tests between multiple projects."
"ReadyAPI could improve by having dynamic validation information."
"There are lots of options within the solution, however they are not upfront or user-friendly."
"If ReadyAPI had more integration with all of the big tools on the market then this would be very useful."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
