Kiran Patil - PeerSpot reviewer
A great solution to validate web services, is stable, and requires minimal people for deployment
Compared to SoapUI, the ReadyAPI automation is very useful for us because ReadyAPI is the new version of SoapUI. I know that this tool is very helpful for us to find the defects and to run the web services accordingly. We get what we are expecting with the solution. ReadyAPI commissioner has fulfilled all our requirements. I don't believe there are any drawbacks at the moment. 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. This will save time during the execution phase before we deploy it to the user interface.

Offers good user interface, customization and I like how it way it correlates, monitors, and integrates with the user interface
I didn't like much of the support that you get from the Tricentis group unless it was after it integrated with Tricentis; the support is not that good. But earlier, the support was actually very wonderful. I started using NeoLoad right from 2011. So, there is room for improvement in customer service and support. It requires a lot of justification and a lot of emails that you need to send back and forth. But earlier, when I was working with Siemens, the integration of the NeoLoad team and Siemens team was very good, and the support was excellent. As soon as you raised a ticket, we had very good support, but that changed after Tricentis.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We find the product to be scalable."
"It's like a centralized interface that allows us to increase the quality of our APIs."
"he initial deployment process is easy."
"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."
"We can scale."
"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."
"NeoLoad is best tool for testing in production without making many changes to the script or solution."
"The solution's setup was straightforward."
"There aren't other solutions as competitive as Tricentis NeoLoad when it comes to the performance side."
"The scripting is really user-friendly and the reporting is very good."
"In my opinion, correlation of dynamic data is the most important advantage of this tool."
"From a functional perspective, the range of tools provided with Tricentis NeoLoad is perhaps the widest."
"Very easy to use the front end and the UI is very good."
"Tricentis NeoLoad is quite easy to use as compared to JMeter."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is very slow sometimes."
"The solution’s interface could be improved."
"I'd not sure if they have the same level of documentation for performance and security testing."
"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."
"I want the solution to be able to monitor Apache Kafka activity as well."
"We need some time to understand and configure the solution."
"It needs improvements in the UI. It's currently not as friendly as it should be."
"We would like to see the addition of one-to-one integrations with the Tricentis Tosca suite to this product, which would then cover the end-to-end needs of our customers who are looking for a single vendor solution."
"The product must improve the features that allow integration with CI/CD pipelines."
"Tricentis NeoLoad crashes if an application contains more than 1,000 scripts."
"I would like to see support for auto-correlations."
"It needs improvement with post-production."
"LoadRunner supports multiple protocols, whereas NeoLoad supports only three protocols. With NeoLoad, we can go for the SAP technology, web-based HTTP, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). If I have to simulate .NET application-based traffic, I won't be able to do that. So, protocol support is a limitation for NeoLoad. It should support more protocols."
"Tricentis NeoLoad's mobile platform acts as a stand-alone application but needs to be integrated with the main interface"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We find the cost to be affordable."
"ReadyAPI Performance’s pricing is reasonable."
"This solution operates on a licence basis and the usage and cost varies according to the use case. It is more expensive if you include access to the learning center. On average it costs approximately 800 Euros."
"Licence cost is very attractive compared to other vendor tools and also there are many license alternatives."
"We used a 60-day trial with ten hours of work per month."
"From a licensing cost perspective, I rate the product an eight out of ten since it is a cheap solution that looks costly for certain areas."
"NeoLoad is expensive, but to my knowledge, it's better than LoadRunner."
"The tool's pricing is somewhat higher than licensed tools like LoadRunner. The approximate cost is around $25,000. There are no additional charges for maintenance or support. Everything is included in the package we have."
"Pricing is always cheaper with Tricentis NeoLoad versus the very expensive Micro Focus LoadRunner."
"Pricing for Tricentis NeoLoad could be cheaper because, at the moment, it's expensive. For a year, the solution cost us a lot of money, in particular, more than $50,000."
"It is cheaper than other solutions."
