We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and ReadyAPI Performance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Load Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I appreciate JMeter's simplicity and power for performance testing."
"The new version of the solution is stable."
"This solution is very user-friendly, and allows for a lot of data capture when testing."
"It is easy to set up."
"We find the load testing feature valuable."
"We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"The most valuable feature for us is the available information on the forums and to be able to discuss and get answers from the people that are involved in using this tool."
"We use Apache JMeter for load testing, where we provide the throughput time."
"ReadyAPI automation can help us validate the functionality of most web services, allowing us to find out the exact number of defects before deployment to the user interface."
"We can scale."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"It stores good reports, as in, improved reports if compared with the SoapUI. It also has in-built security. You just need to switch and check the security testing. My team has never used it, but I know ReadyAPI provides those facilities as well."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"he initial deployment process is easy."
"It should start supporting the presentation layer. It currently provides performance testing specifically at the application and API level. It can be extended to the presentation layer, which includes mainly Angular and React frameworks. It should also be easy to use and easy to train people."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"Apache JMeter could use improvement in reporting. Currently, it isn't easy to generate reports in PDF format. While receiving reports in PDF format is possible, it requires a lot of customization. Additionally, when comparing the load test to others solutions it could improve."
"The only thing is the learning curve. It's high."
"We would like more documentation to be provided for the advanced level features that are available in this solution, in order to improve development."
"It's not easy to get the data from one place or to do customizations."
"The plug-ins make the reports heavy and they have to be run in non-GUI mode."
"Improving JMeter's sync time would be beneficial."
"I'd not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"It is very slow sometimes."
"We need some time to understand and configure the solution."
"This solution could be improved by offering artificial AI testing in addition to API testing. For example, we would like to have machine learning testing because when test applications, manual work could be completed automatically using this functionality."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
"This is an area for improvement with the tool. We unnecessarily use JMeter for some website testing, which we would like to avoid by introducing this tool for API and load testing because it provides load testing features."
