"The capabilities and flexibility of the Controller, the ability to monitor the systems under test, and the comprehensive results Analysis which saves a great deal of time."
"It has features for recording. The best feature with Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional is that there is very little bottleneck or overhead issues. With LoadRunner, you can spawn 2000 contributions for one machine."
"Scaling is definitely one of the best features of this solution. There are no issues scaling to 10,000 or 20,000 concurrent users."
"The number of protocols that it supports, and especially, for example, when it talks about SAP GUI-based performance testing."
"Enables us to test most of the products and projects that we have across all the different technologies, without having to look at other tools."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting and automation."
"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."
"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."
"The performance and reporting of this solution have been its most valuable features."
"he initial deployment process is easy."
"We can scale."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"The debugging capability should be improved."
"The reporting and GUI have room for improvement."
"Sometimes we are not be able to click on some of the buttons due to the screen mismatching and compatibility issues."

"More guidance on the use of the Tru Client protocol which is used for Web interfaces."
"We'd like the solution to be a bit more user-friendly."

"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."
"We need some time to understand and configure the solution."
"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."
"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"I'd not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"It is very slow sometimes."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
