Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools.""The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client.""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.""The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward.""It's easy to learn how to use it.""It has the ability to combine it with different CI/CD tools.""Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways.""The initial setup is straightforward."

More ReadyAPI Pros →

"Compared to other tools, there is not a whole lot to Stress Stimulus UI. This makes it easy to use, be it while scripting, executing, or having to train someone new to the team.""Technical support is great.""Designed to be a modern testing tool, StresStimulus made it easy for us to upgrade from an older deprecated testing tool and adapt to Agile DevOps testing principles by shifting left with performance testing."

Cons
"ReadyAPI could improve by having dynamic validation information.""The overall scope of this solution is limited and could be improved.""There are lots of options within the solution, however they are not upfront or user-friendly.""I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution.""To generate a test suite in API, I had to create a separate one each time because otherwise it was just override the test. Each API had to be added separately. I thought I could just have one and then create different methods, but I had to add each API separately to create the test for that. That is an area that could be improved.""The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources.""I don't like how they don't have a clear way to manage tests between multiple projects.""They have performance testing also. However, it's not that great."

More ReadyAPI Cons →

"StresStimulus has a dedicated blog where users of the tool can log new feature requests or enhancements to existing features.""We run tests on SQL statements and stored procedures directly, even before integrating with UI. I wish there were a way to connect to my application DB and run SQL queries using a JDBC connection.""Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is a cheap solution when you consider the money that will be saved in testing."
  • "The cost of a license is probably around $1,000 to $2,000. Accounting is done by my leadership. I am more into implementations and making sure all things and processes are taken care of and the frameworks are maintained and managed."
  • "There are costs in addition to the licensing fee. For example, if you want to add the load testing you would pay more."
  • "The price of the solution has been fine."
  • "The price was around $6,000 for one license, but I don't remember exactly. It is definitely expensive. Our organization was planning on having multiple licenses for this year."
  • "For each license, they charge the same amount, which is less than $1,000 for each desktop license."
  • "The thing with ReadyAPI is that you have to buy different licenses for different purposes."
  • "We have approximately 12 licenses in place. There are other solutions that are more expensive than ReadyAPI that have more features, but if the scope of the project is limited to SOAP and REST service, then this is the best option."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The performance testing capabilities are very good.
    Top Answer:The pricing is very competitive. It has a good impact on our time-to-market metrics. We have the complete SmartBear environment. The single cost for all the services makes it easier.
    Top Answer:The vendor conducts webinars. They must do it more, though. The solution must update SmartBear Academy. The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated.
    Top Answer:Compared to other tools, there is not a whole lot to Stress Stimulus UI. This makes it easy to use, be it while scripting, executing, or having to train someone new to the team.
    Top Answer:They are very transparent in terms of price. Installation, as mentioned previously, is very easy. The testers themselves could do it.
    Top Answer:Stress Stimulus simulates browser HTTP calls. I would love to see where it can also simulate a real browser to measure visually complete time. For example, to be something similar to Tru Client. We… more »

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Dell EMC Unity users.

    PeerSpot user Vallalarasu P., Test Architect at a tech services company, states, “ReadyAPI is one of the best tools for API testing because they have made a single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and also service actualization. We also have virtual work that can be an add-in within ReadyAPI. For integration for CACD, they have something called TestEngine, which can also be an add-on for ReadyAPI. We use Python request library and things like that but if you're a bigger organization with hundreds of APIs, then ReadyAPI is a one-stop solution for complete API testing. If you consider TestComplete and other products for an equivalent outcome, you might get something nearly comparable, butReadyAPI is the outstanding product.”

    An IT Manager at an insurance company says the solution has “Fast automation, less coding, and is pretty lightweight. When you are working in sprints, you need to have continuous feedback. ReadyAPI definitely helps in automating very fast and rapidly. We have less coding, and we can more easily define our assertions. We don't use it for full-blown performance testing, but normally if you are doing your functional testing, it gives you the request and response time. Anybody who is doing functional testing can see what the request and response times are and raise a flag based upon their business affiliates, that is, whether it is meeting their affiliates. You can identify this during functional testing."

    Balamurugan A., Manager at a financial services firm, comments, “We like the user interface. The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools.

    They have interfaces with our performance tools, so we were able to leverage all of these integrations and plugins. It is very good from an integrative solution standpoint.”

    StresStimulus is a load testing tool for websites, mobile and Enterprise apps. It determines the web performance and scalability of your application under the rigors of heavy traffic load. Hundreds or thousands of physical users are realistically emulated through on-premise load generators or in a cloud testing environment
