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."You can test a huge variety of applications, not just web-based systems, but SAP, Oracle, web services, pretty much anything out in the market place, but it's mobile-based testing."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's most valuable features are load simulation and creating correlation for parameters."
"The tool is very easy to set up and get running."
"The solution offers helpful guidelines and has good documentation."
"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."
"It is pretty easy to do test execution and results analysis. When it comes to scenario settings, LoadRunner Enterprise has an extra edge over other testing tools in the industry. The scenario setup is easy, and in terms of execution, we have a clear idea of what is happening"
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"We are delivering fine performance results and performance recommendations using Performance Center."
"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 drag-and-drop options and the integration with versioning tool solutions, such as Git."
"It's easy to learn how to use it."
"The Excel sheet feature is good."
"The initial setup 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."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"We are expecting more flexible to use Jenkins in continuous integration going forward."
"The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet."
"Offering a direct integration feature would ensure a completely smooth experience."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"OpenText needs to improve in terms of support. With the same support plan but when the product was owned by HP, support was more responsive and better coordinated."
"It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side."
"We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application."
"The solution is a very expensive tool when compared with other tools."
"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."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
"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."
"Version control does not work well."
"The overall scope of this solution is limited and could be improved."
"ReadyAPI's customer support isn't that great, particularly their response time."
"If ReadyAPI had more integration with all of the big tools on the market then this would be very useful."
