We performed a comparison between Apigee and IBM Rational Test Workbench based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Postman, Tricentis, Apache and others in API Testing Tools."If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"It is easy to deploy, configure, and monitor the APA."
"One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies. When it comes to the cloud-based architecture, there is a high level of reliability."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"Apigee makes proxy management very simple."
"The most valuable features are scalability and technical support."
"Technical support has been decent."
"There is plenty of support documentation available."
"Reporting is pretty good. Its interface is also good. I'm overall pretty happy with the functionality and use of IBM Rational Test Workbench."
"This solution provides for API testing, functional UI testing, performance testing, and service virtualization."
"The user interface could be better. It could be easier to navigate and more user-friendly."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved upon. We'd like it if it was less costly."
"Google isn't enthusiastic about supporting older versions. Google is now trying to move all of its clients to X within the cloud."
"The number one area this solution could be improved is by implementing support. Support is not a part of this solution."
"Better functionality for validating inputs and outputs would be helpful."
"We've encountered challenges in leveraging Connect functionality, prompting us to explore additional tools, such as Fergus, to address implementation and security issues."
"Development IDE, especially for Architect Review."
"I would recommend this solution to those who want to start using it, but it depends on the requirements and automation."
"There are a number of things that they can do to simplify the tools, but the most important thing that they need to do is simplify the installation."
"It should have more interfaces. In terms of interfaces or protocols, what you can do with Rational is far limited as compared to other products out there. What it does, it does great, but it only gives you limited types of protocols. It supports between 8 to 15 types of protocols, whereas other test tools give you 20 to 30 types of protocols with which you can do testing and convert to script. It records Javascript-based scripts, and you got to know a little bit of Java to basically be able to edit them, but the level of editing you got to do is very low. I like that, but the ability to edit the script is not as good as Parasoft or LoadRunner, which have C-Script."
