ReadyAPI (formerly SoapUI Pro, LoadUI Pro, and ServiceV Pro) is a REST and SOAP API functional testing tool that enables software developers, QA engineers, and manual testers to work together to create, maintain, and execute complex end-to-end API tests in their CI/CD pipelines without needing to code.

Chose ReadyAPI
I have not used any other API tools, (new to QA) and the company already had ReadyAPI in place when I started.
Katalon Studio doesn't have powerful features like Data-driven testing with different sources such as Excel, GRID, Groovy, etc. Parallel testing is not available. Import API definitions which are one of the important of ReadyAPI are also not there in Katalon Studio. Reporting …
Each product has a different specialty. With ReadyAPI, it combines multiple specialties into one product and also allows a combination of other products within the Smartbear suite. With other products integration of multiple test, products are far more difficult and require …
ReadyAPI manages DataSources, Endpoints, and Environments much better than Postman. Postman is a little simpler implementation but has a Team Workspace that is powerful for Development handoffs and manual testing.
Postman is simpler and super less expensive than ReadyAPI. In addition, the product continues to work even after the license has expired in comparison to ReadyAPI which requires you to purchase a new license every time. Is a turnoff.
ReadyAPI is a comprehensive tool that allows for developing, validation, and testing all in one suite. There are advanced features like user simulation and assertion capabilities that set ReadyAPI apart from other tools in the same segment. We also have several legacy solutions …
I have used a couple of products mentioned above. But the best thing about ReadyAPI is, it's a complete [package] for API testing. Not all software offers load testing, assertion, and reporting features. Also, lots of plugins, like Azure API Management, AWS API plugin features …
Postman didn't have the flexibility of detailed assertions that we needed, although it was easy to use. Also their integration points weren't as straightforward.
I didn't have much experience with automation in Postman, but ReadyAPI seems more robust and in my opinion is able to cover many use cases. For me it was also easier to write the tests in SoapUI as many times it is matter of clicking and copying existing things.
ReadyAPI beats all other alternatives because of its support of all kinds of API types. Also, users can specify every flow and every step for every second to replicate every test case with ease. It also has GIT support with is a big plus.
The main competitor for ReadyAPI was Postman. It is much more lightweight, but that means you also get fewer features. ReadyAPI also provides an ecosystem in which you can have an entire lifecycle for your API, if that is what you want - and are willing to put in the work to …
I am using ReadyAPI tools for more than two years helped us to evaluate the quality of our API. For all API Automation testing, load testing, and security testing ReadyAPI bring us the best result and quality. It has many useful features in automation that we use to do more …
I have not used other API testing products but I am completely satisfied with the functionality and performance of ReadyAPI. It covers all required API protocols and database connections that are used in our organization. It also allows extending the functionality by adding …
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.
SoapUI Pro is good because you can start automating functional testing even if you don't have scripting knowledge. However, it doesn't work very well with GraphQL and so we had to use Insomnia is those cases.
ReadyAPI vs Postman: ReadyAPI makes testing WSDL, SOAP, etc. much easier and quicker. Postman would require you to manually construct the SOAP envelopes and metadata XML, which is a lot of work for something that is meant to be a quick test.
To be completely honest I liked Postman's user interface better than ReadyAPI. Their user experience is way better, but when it comes to features I think that ReadyAPI has better features than Postman like having mock capabilities [and] native support for SOAP services.
Just some basic REST clients like RESTlet and HTTP Header Spy work really great and are fast to setup. They work the way I expect. Burp also is a lot more powerful albeit there's a lot more going on than you may need.
