We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and ReadyAPI Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 are using this for performance testing and some automation."
"When someone in our organization wants to test web applications, they use Apache JMeter since they face no hurdles while using the solution."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"It's open source, so I like that about the product. And there's a lot of community support for it."
"The solution offers a lot of plug-ins and a huge continuously developing community that is regularly offering new features and plug-ins."
"The metrics part of it and the ability to write your custom code to do some specific tests in the performance testing space are the most valuable features."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"When there's a high number of TPS I can achieve more transactions per seconds given the hyper-limitations."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"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 interface could be made more user-friendly."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"I sometimes found the documentation to be not as explanatory as I would've liked it. In the cases that I can think of, I was looking for a rather hand-holding approach with Step A, B, and C, but then I realized that with a product that is open source like this, you can't do handholding. That is because there are so many different uses and different unique environments and setups for it, but I remember thinking a few times that if they only just said this."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"In future releases, it would be helpful if there was an integration with ALM Octane."
"The reporting is not very good."
"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."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"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."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"The UI should be improved."
