We performed a comparison between Apache JMeter and ReadyAPI Performance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Load Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We really appreciate that the solution comes with a live community, which continuously provided plugins and support protocols."
"It is an open-source tool that is easy to use. It can be easily integrated with multiple tools, including Selenium."
"The most valuable features are the ability to capture the entire traffic of particular pages and the proper readability of entire pages and entire APIs."
"It gives accurate results and recommendations that we can implement to enhance the performance of websites."
"I use all the tools, but one feature that stands out is JMeter's ability to test when services are sending a particular kind of request. We are using specific ports to send queries, and assess the performance based on the time it takes these queries to respond. You can use it with stuff other than the web performance."
"The solution has good transition controllers and distributed testing."
"Apache JMeter is stable."
"We appreciate that the solution is free to use, as an open-source tool."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"ReadyAPI automation can help us validate the functionality of most web services, allowing us to find out the exact number of defects before deployment to the user interface."
"he initial deployment process is easy."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"It stores good reports, as in, improved reports if compared with the SoapUI. It also has in-built security. You just need to switch and check the security testing. My team has never used it, but I know ReadyAPI provides those facilities as well."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"We can scale."
"There is some work to be done with the integration."
"The solution is not user-friendly, there is no framework for autocorrelation or parameterization."
"Its reporting could be improved. There should be a better visual representation. That would be helpful for easy consumption of the reports."
"We would like more documentation to be provided for the advanced level features that are available in this solution, in order to improve development."
"Running JMeter in GUI mode uses a lot of memory, which means we need to switch to a non-GUI mode when using a heavy load."
"It should start supporting the presentation layer. It currently provides performance testing specifically at the application and API level. It can be extended to the presentation layer, which includes mainly Angular and React frameworks. It should also be easy to use and easy to train people."
"Self-healing and page rendering for the end-users are not available in Apache JMeter."
"The solution needs to improve reporting. Currently, there is not enough automation involved with the feature. For example, there should be an automatic way of saving reports."
"I'd not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
"We need some time to understand and configure the solution."
"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"It is very slow sometimes."
"This is an area for improvement with the tool. We unnecessarily use JMeter for some website testing, which we would like to avoid by introducing this tool for API and load testing because it provides load testing features."
"This solution could be improved by offering artificial AI testing in addition to API testing. For example, we would like to have machine learning testing because when test applications, manual work could be completed automatically using this functionality."
Apache JMeter is ranked 1st in Load Testing Tools with 82 reviews while ReadyAPI Performance is ranked 8th in Load Testing Tools with 7 reviews. Apache JMeter is rated 7.8, while ReadyAPI Performance is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Apache JMeter writes "It's a free tool with a vast knowledge base, but the reporting is lackluster, and it has a steep learning curve". On the other hand, the top reviewer of ReadyAPI Performance writes "Straightforward to install with the ability to add multiple assertions but the price is too high". Apache JMeter is most compared with BlazeMeter, Postman, Tricentis NeoLoad, Katalon Studio and OpenText LoadRunner Professional, whereas ReadyAPI Performance is most compared with SmartBear LoadNinja.
