We performed a comparison between ReadyAPI and Tricentis NeoLoad 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."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."
"It is the best solution you can get across the globe for API, test automation, and API penetration testing."
"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."
"It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"For anyone who does not have experience with automation, ReadyAPI provides a sense of comfort, especially for testers who find it hard to go directly into coding."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"The feature that allows you to import an API collection or a project is valuable."
"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."
"It is a good source for load, stress and performance testing."
"I like the scripting and parameterization features."
"The licensing cost is very less for NeoLoad. It is user-friendly and easy to understand because they have created so many useful functionalities. When I started working with this tool, we just had to do the initial assessment about whether this tool will be able to support our daily work or not. I could easily understand it. I didn't have to search Google or watch YouTube videos. In just 15 to 20 minutes, I was able to understand the tool."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"It offered us an easy to use, limited code option for end-to-end performance testing."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"The solution's setup was straightforward."
"There are several key features, including Jenkins integration, infrastructure monitoring, and results analysis."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"The reporting in ReadyAPI could be better. It can become sloppy, sometimes it works and other times it does not."
"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"Sometimes, if I changed something in ReadyAPI, it would not quickly pick up the change. It used to give me the same error repeatedly, and when I closed the application completely and restarted it, it would pick up that change."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, mainly from the point of view of integrating ReadyAPI into the CI pipelines, and also the scripting aspect into Bitbucket."
"It doesn't have connectors to the NoSQL database. This is one of the things where they do not have a very solid strategy today. Other solutions have an in-built mechanism where I can directly and easily connect. An API is more around a user submitting a request on the frontend. It then hits the backend, puts the data, and responds back. If I am hitting MongoDB or NoSQL databases, I do not have ready-made inbuilt solutions in ReadyAPI that can easily help me in automating it faster. In our organization, we deal with NoSQL databases, and therefore, we need Groovy. We just cannot have a connector from ReadyAPI to do that. I have to write Groovy scripts. If you have themes that are predominantly using MongoDB, it leads to more maintenance and support activity because we are introducing more code into our commission. In terms of additional features, it can have cloud support. This is one of the things where we are getting into cloud support. We'll see how it works, but it is one of the doubts that we still have."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"It would be good to make some updates on the reporting side."
"In future releases, it would be good if extra added features for integration are added into NeoLoad."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"The product is expensive."
"NeoLoad can improve the correlation templates, which are specific to frameworks. There's room for improvement in that area."
"NeoLoad does not support Citrix-based applications."
"There is room for improvement with the support and community documentation as it can be difficult to find answers to questions quickly."
"While importing the scripts from backup it should not create the new variables because it has created some issues for us."
