SoapUI Open Source, supported by SmartBear vs. SwaggerHub

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.

ReadyAPI and SwaggerHub are a match made in heaven. Being able to so easily import the API directly into ReadyAPI and then being able to generate a test suite from the API is my favorite part of these softwares. We have rather large services so building out the API can take some time

• Ease of implementation
• Ease of use
• User friendly interface

• Treating the design as documentation ensures that we have consistent and well defined APIs
• API consumers can export the swagger definition or code stubs to use within their development environment
• We can iterate through multiple versions of a definition privately before making a version publicly available

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

• The user interface could be more improved to sustain with other similar tools in the market.
• Beneficial if we have better integration with third party softwares.
• Nice to have ability to download the documentation in usable formats.

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.

The only other product we looked at was Postman. But we liked the SwaggerHub UI & the integrations it has with the AWS API gateway. Though Postman has some other great features like the ability to write test cases & execute them, SwaggerUI was more convenient to document & share them.

• Testing resolves most of the issues in the development phases.
• User friendliness of the app makes it good.
• Overall client happiness depends on the clean project, which is possible by testing.

• Faster API development lifecycle.
• Reduced discussion time when building a new vital API endpoint.
• Complete documentation which makes the new team member onboarding process easier.
