We performed a comparison between OpenText LoadRunner Cloud 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."The TruClient feature is the most valuable for us. An application with testing can only be scripted using TruClient, so it's part web-based, but it also has its own protocol combined with HTTP and HTML. So many other tools do not recognize this specific proprietary protocol. Using TruClient, we can still create scripts that cover everything that we need to cover."
"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."
"It is feature-rich. It supports most protocols, which is important because I am in charge of a team at the bank, and we do performance testing for all kinds of different applications. We have tons of them. We even do video streams."
"The solution is easy to use."
"This solution is SaaS based so we can utilize cloud technology, which is less time consuming and saves a lot of of money."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the Vuser license; it allows us to reduce the cost as per requirement."
"The feature that allows you to import an API collection or a project is valuable."
"The two most valuable features we use are the functional test and the security test."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools."
"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."
"It's easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"It's easy to automate for more data-driven testing."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"One area of improvement in the software's support is the replaying of captured data within the development environment. It would be beneficial if the replay feature could accurately mimic what the actual application is doing for better analysis and testing."
"Reporting and analysis need improvement. Compared to the old school LoadRunner Windows application, the reporting and analysis are mediocre in LoadRunner Cloud."
"There is a steep learning curve for the product, too."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"We encounter hurdles while running the professional version for on-premise setup."
"The overall scope of this solution is limited and could be improved."
"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."
"Version control does not work well."
"Better compatibility or more support for the older versions would be helpful."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"ReadyAPI could improve by having dynamic validation information."
"The solution is made up of multiple tools, and the one additional feature we'd like to have is load testing."
