SoapUI and its Pro version, ReadyAPI, are widely used tools for integrating, verifying, and testing web services. They are highly scalable and configurable, allowing for custom test script creation and automation of various test activities. Users have found SoapUI useful in validating complex analysis platforms, establishing baselines for customization, and verifying APIs across multiple products with different interfaces like SOAP, REST, AMF, and JDBC.

Yahoo's Technical Account Management team relies on SoapUI to analyze SOAP messages and troubleshoot issues with ad platforms. Developers, integrators, and technical product managers use SoapUI for testing, automation, and support purposes. ReadyAPI is the go-to tool for API testing, making it easy to create and manage tests. It helps in verifying breakages, tracing back problems to ensure correct data returns, validating endpoint functionality, and load testing with specific scenarios using production data.

ReadyAPI supports API testing throughout the digital transformation process from prototyping to deployment. It is also used for API test automation and integration with Jenkins. Moreover, it assists in importing and structuring web services, API mockups, functional testing, security testing, deploying code to the cloud using containers, and integrating with third-party tools like Bamboo. With its comprehensive features for SOAP and REST service testing, ReadyAPI is recommended for a wide range of API testing needs.

Swagger Integration: Many users have praised the ability of SoapUI and ReadyApi to read in endpoints for a restful web service via a Swagger page or definitions file. This feature has been described as extremely helpful, with reviewers appreciating the time-saving aspect of not having to figure things out directly or rely on specs to build their requests. Additionally, the ability to easily update endpoints when they change was seen as a valuable feature.

Groovy Functions: Users have found the addition of groovy functions in SoapUI and ReadyApi to be very useful. They appreciate being able to use a programming language with Java libraries, which provides them with much more flexibility in how they process results and build follow-up requests.

Auto-generation of Test Cases: The auto-generation of test cases in SoapUI Pro has received high praise from users. It gives them a good head start on their testing efforts by building a set of tests that cover at least the happy path scenarios. Users also appreciate the visual guide provided by the test case GUI, which helps them structure their suites and scenarios effectively.

Cons:

  1. Lacking User Interface and Experience: Some users have found SoapUI's user interface to be confusing, old-fashioned, and not user-friendly. They have expressed the need for enhancements in terms of design and usability.
  2. Slow Performance: Several users have experienced slow performance with SoapUI, particularly when loading projects, switching between tabs, and during startup. They have also encountered errors related to insufficient memory, resulting in frustration and delays.
  3. Limited JMS Support and Third-Party Tools Dependency: Users have mentioned that SoapUI relies on an outdated 3rd party program called HermesJMS for JMS interactions. This limitation restricts their ability to run parallel test suites efficiently. Additionally, they have pointed out the limited support for JMS and the need for third-party tools for AMF method discovery.

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 dashboard in ReadyAPI is also much better than Katalon Studio. Overall ReadyAPI is so far the best API testing tool compared to other competitors available in the market

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 quite a bit of knowledge

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 that only support SoapAPIs and Ready API is the tool that allows for WSDL mapping with full schema.

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 very coolly which meets our needs on time. The product is always up to date with the technology trend

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.

ReadyAPI is must have tool for API testers.

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 create it and maintain it.
Postman doesn't have that concept of an ecosystem, but it also doesn't claim that it does.
Both have collaboration features, but again, Postman's is lightweight, and ReadyAPI's is much more enterprise-class - with the associated cost and weight.

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 efficient our job.

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 external DB drivers and wiring custom scripts when the native assertion/data manipulation test steps are not sufficient.

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.
