F5 Distributed Cloud API Security vs. SoapUI Open Source, supported by SmartBear

I believe it covers everything related to the applications' security aspects, but there are a lot of improvements that need to be made. For example, better granular controls like bot categories listed on the distributed console and a granular URL-based control for the rate-limiting option are needed.

Good for simple requests, simple scripts, assertions, and small workflows. Also not bad with the Open Source version if savvy with code as you can do a lot with custom functionality.Free version has limited compatibility with scripts/projects created from the Pro version, but functionality-wise can probably be made up with coding. As such, the free version may not be too suitable for complex scripts or for those who are not familiar with coding as functionality/usability may be limited.

• It auto-discovers APIs, even the ones engineers forget to document. Then profiles them without needing changes to our codebase.
• Shadow API exposure.
• It's pretty decent at abnormal behavior detection.

• More accurate detection of advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting APIs.
• A greater emphasis on checking APIs' schema and contract may prevent them from accepting misconfigurations or malicious input.
• More customized, dynamic, and targeted protection for high-value APIs or high-risk user groups.

• I actually like SoapUI as it is, I have not found things to improve, except for the speed of response is very complex services.

Great product. Working with F5 for many years, we found the products F5 provided are all cutting edge technology. Although in F5 Distributed Cloud API Security we still have a lot to find out, but we believe this experience will be very good. Especially on the security side. Trust in F5.

F5 Distributed Cloud API Security is our company looking forward product. With more and more API is using in both on prem, private cloud, public cloud and multi cloud environment, we as a financial institution, we are keep into the security settings to protect the information. That's the main reason we want to use this product.

We ran a short POC with Salt. Its data classification and attack replay features were impressive. What held us back was the limited support for hybrid deployments and poor integration into our CI/CD pipelines, as F5 did.

Compared to SoapUI, we have been using "light" tools like RestClient extension in Firefox, or Postman. Compared to Postman, SoapUI is more simple for WSDL / SOAP webservices, as SoapUI generate all envelop, but Postman does not. For Rest API, I think that Postman is a little above SoapUI, but not too far away.
