Likelihood to Recommend Blackfire.io is super helpful in allowing proactive testing of applications before releasing on the production environment. Blackfire.io provides actionable insights to improve code proactively by integration with the development software. Also tracks the live production environment and is able to highlight any loading issues or unusual bounce rates. Blackfire.io also monitors HTTP requests and SQL queries which again help improve efficiency for developers and reduce development time.
Read full review As stated, we do a LOT of API testing, the swaggerhub import makes it easy to add APIs. This is very well-suited, as well as easy management of the steps/cases/suites inside of ReadyAPI. The one thing I do wish ReadyAPI was better suited for is changes to data, we have a lot of test cases in ReadyAPI and if we make a change to how the backend data is structured, one-by-one adjustments need to be made to the steps. Less appropriate, UI testing.
Read full review Pros Provide details on processes eating up valuable server resources Alert against bottlenecks and find bottlenecks Performs load tests in code before moving to production environments Read full review Ease of use (ability to automatically import API definitions, Jenkins integration for running in the pipeline). Detailed test reports (allow to easily identify weak spots during both functional and performance testing). One platform for all tests (allows to closely couple and reuse existent tests). Read full review Cons They count same API endpoint AND same method (e.g. POST, OPTIONS, GET etc) as different profiles Customer service needs a lot of improvement The documentation can be a bit more detailed to remove any scope of doubts Read full review Needs good documentation Need to improve the performance of the tool Setup is very complex and for such [a] commercial tool, it should easy and straightforward Tool says it supports security testing but in reality, it is not at an extensive level. Read full review Likelihood to Renew The only reason this isn't a '10' is because of the cost. This product is definitely meant for organizations who are serious about making sure they invest in the full ecosystem of API design, development, maintenance. But there is a significant cost associated with this investment. and because of this cost (and the non-tangible output for executives), it is a difficult line-item to justify in this post-pandemic environment.
Read full review Usability SoapUI allows us to combine multiple tests and adhere to the sequence that they need to run in order to complete successfully. It has an excellent GUI design and the reporting mechanism is also very good. It does consume a lot of memory though during concurrent testing
Read full review Reliability and Availability Soap UI has managed to continuously build on it's solid foundation and keep improving by each release. It is by far the most dependable and accurate testing tool out there of its kind. Available via connecting to VM's created as SoapUI test machines give access to it anytime, anywhere practically.

Read full review Support Rating To be honest, we didnt had much issues with the support, as there is already plenty of online communities available for help. But if ever there were some minor issues with the membership or the certificates, the tech support was always quick and efficient enough to resolve the issue ASAP
Read full review Implementation Rating no very easy but lacks documentation
Read full review Alternatives Considered blackfire.io definitely provides an edge over competing products such as
Datadog due to the level of monitoring and analysis it provides.
Datadog is a great tool however when evaluating and catching inefficiencies in lower non production environments, blackfire.io provides a level of reporting that were did not find any competing products.
Read full review ReadyAPI provides intuitive GUI capabilities compared to their own open source product. When compared to
Postman , ReadyAPI also supports SOAP based services, which is a saver especially when integrating with legacy or other third party systems.
Read full review Scalability It has an excellent GUI design and the reporting mechanism is also very good. It does consume a lot of memory though during concurrent testing. However, I have read that added monitoring tools have been added, which if so the 7 could possibly go to a 8 or 9.
Read full review Return on Investment Reduce in bugs by 50%, more happy customers 2x decrease in load time for the website 100% performance validation before production release Read full review Very quick regression testing, hence having the testing results very soon, even the same day of deployment for same above reason, it can save money for corporation (so no tedious, costly and erroneous manual testings) The test reports are compatible with TestNG, so the corporation can integrate the reports in our Autamation frameworks such as Allure or Jira Zephyr Read full review ScreenShots
