Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"The following features are most valuable: API Management, Analytics, Quota, and the Developer Portal."
"The most valuable feature of the current version of Apigee, such as Apigee Edge, is that the maintenance and scalability of the service are not our responsibility. As a SaaS platform, Google takes care of it, ensuring the system is stable. Another valuable feature is the ability to customize the platform extensively. We can add JavaScript functionality to cater to any use case that is not available out of the box."
"Tracing in Apigee is a very good feature."
"It is easy to set up. It is on Google Platform, and there are multiple deployment models they support, which is great."
"The central monitoring feature is the most valuable. It also provides security for the APIs and high availability for our use cases. Apigee is the best product in the industry in comparison to other API management solutions. It helps in fast development, which is a top point. It also supports a lot of industry standards and has excellent documentation."
"Apigee is a great product with good feedback and recommendations from clients."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"An area for improvement would be to provide more information while troubleshooting."
"They have an external developer platform that was a little bit painful."
"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex."
"Apigee on premise is quite complex and it is always moving faster."
"We need better performance monitoring."
"I see some lagging in regards to integration capacity"
"Integration should be improved."
"I don't have any notes for improvement."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
