    If you're considering supporting integrations for more than one or two different third-party systems, you should strongly consider Merge.

    API mocking, testing, and sharing are all built in functions for StopLight that work quite well. They even have functionality for generating OAI and RAML code as well, which is a huge plus. AS for as areas where StopLight is not appropriate, if you're doing anything other than API testing, StopLight may not be appropriate for use.

    • Simplicity of set up. Although it's not difficult, there are tools out there that are easier to set up for testing endpoints.
    • Again, it's perfectly functional, but some competitors I think have a more user friendly UI to them.

    Merge was incredibly easy to setup. Once setup, it was incredibly easy to add new integratinons.

    I'd like to also throw Runscope and Fiddler into the mix. Between StopLight and all these competitors, we've chosen StopLight primarily for the support, ease of use, and reliability. Most tools out there today are top-notch, so it really comes down to personal preference and different use-cases. Having used other API testing frameworks, StopLight definitely stacks up against the competition.
