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 solution can scale."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to configure browser settings for different operating systems and on different versions without the need to install every single version on each machine and to manage them."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."
"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."
"The usability and ability to integrate with other solutions is quite good. When I use it in on Azure, then Red Hat is the most likely solution I use. When I use AWS, then I tend to use Lambda functions. In either case, it works well and you can use it either way."
"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"ReadyAPI's best features are user-friendliness, smooth integration with Postman, the speed of creating test cases, and integration with customer data."
"It is the best solution you can get across the globe for API, test automation, and API penetration testing."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check."
"There are three modules in the system that are different products packaged into one, and they can sometimes be difficult to figure out, so they should be better integrated with each other."
"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."
"The support team provides delayed responses."
"Improvements to the reporting would be good."
"Its scripting features need improvement."
"The solution is made up of multiple tools, and the one additional feature we'd like to have is load testing."
"What needs improvement in ReadyAPI is its load testing feature because there was a hiccup when my team performed some load testing on the tool. My team had meetings with the ReadyAPI team and tried to get that issue fixed, but it still hasn't improved. This is a shortcoming of the tool, especially when you compare it with HP LoadRunner."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."
"Version control does not work well."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"Many users will consider this solution expensive compared to the layout. It is more expensive than other solutions."
