We performed a comparison between BlazeMeter and ReadyAPI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."For me, the best part is that we can graphically see the test result at runtime. It helps us understand the behavior of the application during all stages of the test."
"Using cloud-based load generators is highly valuable to us, as we can test from outside our network and increase load generation without having to upscale our hardware as much. The cloud load generator is there when we need it and is the feature we leverage the most."
"It is a stable solution. When we compare BlazeMeter with other tools in the market, I can say that the solution's overall performance has also been very good in our company."
"They have good support documentation and when we have contacted them, they helped to guide us."
"BlazeMeter has allowed us to simplify and speed up our load testing process."
"It has a unique programming dashboard that is very user-friendly."
"The feature that stands out the most is their action groups. They act like functions or methods and code, allowing us to reuse portions of our tests. That also means we have a single point for maintenance when updates are required. Instead of updating a hundred different test cases, we update one action group, and the test cases using that action group will update."
"It has helped us simulate heavy load situations so we can fix performance issues ahead of time."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools."
"The interface is ok and they have the ability to re-load tests so that you can reuse them."
"It can create stress tests very fast, and some features help you do it fast."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the drag-and-drop options and the integration with versioning tool solutions, such as Git."
"It is the best solution you can get across the globe for API, test automation, and API penetration testing."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"I haven't seen any other tool that offers both types of tests. This is very helpful for us, and it's one of the main reasons why we chose this service."
"When you are working in sprints, you need to have continuous feedback. ReadyAPI definitely helps in automating very fast and rapidly. We have less coding, and we can more easily define our assertions. We don't use it for full-blown performance testing, but normally if you are doing your functional testing, it gives you the request and response time. Anybody who is doing functional testing can see what the request and response times are and raise a flag based upon their business affiliates, that is, whether it is meeting their affiliates. You can identify this during functional testing."
"The reporting capabilities could be improved."
"The should be some visibility into load testing. I'd like to capture items via snapshots."
"The performance could be better. When reviewing finished cases, it sometimes takes a while for BlazeMeter to load. That has improved recently, but it's still a problem with unusually large test cases. The same goes for editing test cases. When editing test cases, it starts to take a long time to open those action groups and stuff."
"The scanning capability needs improvement."
"BlazeMeter has room for improvement in terms of its integration with GitLab, particularly in the context of CI/CD processes. While it has multiple integrations available, the level of integration with GitLab may need further enhancements. It is known to work well with Git and Jenkins, although the extent of compatibility with GitLab is uncertain."
"Integration is one of the things lacking in BlazeMeter compared to some newer options."
"I believe that data management and test server virtualization are things that Perforce is working on, or should be working on."
"The product currently doesn't allow users to run parallel thread groups, making it an area that should be considered for improvement."
"It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"The initial setup could be less complex."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
"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."
"ReadyAPI could improve by having dynamic validation information."
"Better compatibility or more support for the older versions would be helpful."
"If ReadyAPI had more integration with all of the big tools on the market then this would be very useful."
BlazeMeter is ranked 4th in Performance Testing Tools with 41 reviews while ReadyAPI is ranked 7th in Performance Testing Tools with 34 reviews. BlazeMeter is rated 8.2, while ReadyAPI is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of BlazeMeter writes "Reduced our test operating costs, provides quick feedback, and helps us understand how to build better test cases". On the other hand, the top reviewer of ReadyAPI writes "Allows you to parameterize in one place for the changes to reflect everywhere and lets you customize the environment, but its load testing feature needs improvement, and costs need to be cheaper". BlazeMeter is most compared with Apache JMeter, Tricentis NeoLoad, OpenText LoadRunner Cloud, OpenText LoadRunner Professional and SmartBear LoadNinja, whereas ReadyAPI is most compared with Apache JMeter, Katalon Studio, Tricentis Tosca, ReadyAPI Test and Appvance IQ.
