We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter 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.
"It is scalable. You can scale up to 1,000 users in JMeter. If you can put up four slave servers, you can easily ramp up to 1,000 users."
"I like the fact that JMeter integrates well with other tools."
"The performance of the solution is excellent."
"JMeter is a free tool with a large user population, which comes in handy because we have a vast knowledge base to tap into when needed. It's also easier to hire consultants who know JMeter."
"The distributed load testing is very good with Apache JMeter."
"It is easy to set up."
"We find the ease of use and the reports and graphs available valuable."
"JMeter is user-friendly, and that's a notable advantage of JVTech. It's straightforward and easy to use, unlike some other load testing tools, making it very easy to understand."
"It's easy to implement."
"When we are doing API testing we have found it to be very efficient to receive results. Additionally, you are able to do tests directly from the API."
"It is the best solution you can get across the globe for API, test automation, and API penetration 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 great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"The two most valuable features we use are the functional test and the security test."
"They can improve it a little bit in terms of distribution load testing. We struggled with it during the distribution. In terms of reporting, runtime monitoring is not currently included, and it should be included. They can also improve it on the reporting side in terms of the comparison of the reports. They can also focus more on integration with CI/CD. Currently, people are using their own customized tools. It would be nice if Apache can provide some standard tools and procedures for integration with CI/CD tools like DPR. There are some tools, but it would be nice if official standard tools and procedures are available."
"If the solution was GUI based, I believe that it would be more versatile."
"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."
"The tool should be made a bit more robust, and better support should be made available."
"Automation is difficult in JMeter."
"We would like more documentation to be provided for the advanced level features that are available in this solution, in order to improve development."
"In this tool, automation in general is almost non-existent. Everything is done manually."
"In terms of platform support, they need to extend the support for backend platforms and more of the legacy types of platforms."
"It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
"The Property Transfer capability could be more user friendly because it is a bit difficult to understand."
"Better compatibility or more support for the older versions would be helpful."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
"There are lots of options within the solution, however they are not upfront or user-friendly."
"The overall scope of this solution is limited and could be improved."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"The reporting is not very robust and needs to be improved."
Apache JMeter is ranked 1st in Performance Testing Tools with 82 reviews while ReadyAPI is ranked 7th in Performance Testing Tools with 34 reviews. Apache JMeter is rated 7.8, while ReadyAPI is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Apache JMeter writes "It's a free tool with a vast knowledge base, but the reporting is lackluster, and it has a steep learning curve". 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". Apache JMeter is most compared with BlazeMeter, Postman, Tricentis NeoLoad, Katalon Studio and IBM Rational Performance Tester, whereas ReadyAPI is most compared with Katalon Studio, Tricentis Tosca, ReadyAPI Test, SmartBear TestComplete and Parasoft SOAtest.
