Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, OpenText, Tricentis and others in Performance Testing Tools."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's easy to automate for more data-driven testing."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"The Excel sheet feature is good."
"It's easy to learn how to use it."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"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."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"I find network traffic testing the most valuable feature."
"If ReadyAPI had more integration with all of the big tools on the market then this would be very useful."
"Many users will consider this solution expensive compared to the layout. It is more expensive than other solutions."
"ReadyAPI could improve by having dynamic validation information."
"It doesn't have connectors to the NoSQL database. This is one of the things where they do not have a very solid strategy today. Other solutions have an in-built mechanism where I can directly and easily connect. An API is more around a user submitting a request on the frontend. It then hits the backend, puts the data, and responds back. If I am hitting MongoDB or NoSQL databases, I do not have ready-made inbuilt solutions in ReadyAPI that can easily help me in automating it faster. In our organization, we deal with NoSQL databases, and therefore, we need Groovy. We just cannot have a connector from ReadyAPI to do that. I have to write Groovy scripts. If you have themes that are predominantly using MongoDB, it leads to more maintenance and support activity because we are introducing more code into our commission. In terms of additional features, it can have cloud support. This is one of the things where we are getting into cloud support. We'll see how it works, but it is one of the doubts that we still have."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
"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."
"Lacking flexibility of adding more custom verification for security testing."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"The solution could improve by increasing the Gbps speeds and by having better support for storage."
