"ReadyAPI performance testing tool"

4/5

What do you like best about ReadyAPI?

It's a well-organized tool that provides clean and well-versed documentation to perform the required testing to the apis. It offers clean reports after the execution to analyze the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?

Since the tool is not open source, the free users are not accessible to all the features. Also, the pricing for an individual user is high, which can be minimized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ReadyAPI:

It's better to use the application only if your company is providing a licensed version. The major question one should ask themselves is that what is not available in the opensource tools like Jmeter that is available in this. Is the tool providing those features for the money that are being spent. As to my experience that I have had, I feel that as an organization the tool would be helpful if the usage is really high and is restricted to core API and not any 3rd party inclusion. In that case, the tool works really well and provides decent insights for the test runs. Incase you are looking for a random day usage, spending money might not be the best choice cause there is a timeframe for the licence. Based on these factors the user can make their decisions on using the tool or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use the tool to perform load testing of API, which provides insights about the test runs. These reports that are generated help me to identify the performance of the application and also help to fix the bottlenecks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"API testing and performance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ReadyAPI?

Test cases can be automated in the tool itself. All the APIs can be arranged and saved in the tool. The response time and the output time are more efficient. Within the team, it is now easy to share the API set more securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?

Sometimes not able to get a response soon in case of large data passed through API. Some UI parts for customization can be improved. Apart from this, nothing else to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
