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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Easy to start API test automation tool
We use ReadyAPI mainly for API test automation and with the ReadyAI it has become easier to integrate with Jenkins. We use it only for one of the test automation projects where API test automation is also into scope.

API Testing Made Easy!
ReadyAPI is mainly used by the Quality and Development departments in my organization. We mainly use it to conduct different types of testing on all kinds of web services like SOAP and REST services. It helps us conduct load tests, security tests, and functional tests as well. ReadyAPI is also very useful when it comes to automating the testing scenarios which helps us [as] a team get results much faster with better accuracy and thus delivering faster business value to our customers.

SOAP UI Hasn't Cleaned My Troubleshooting Needs Yet
We use it primarily for REST troubleshooting and authentication testing. It's the only application of its kind available on our locked-down development environment currently. We also use it for SOAP troubleshooting, as a lot of our medical data transfers use this standard.

SoapUI makes QI life easier
It is being extensively used for importing web services and also creating a structure for web services. As a QA Automation Engineer, I am using it for API mockups, functional testing and even load testing. The security test feature is really helpful in checking the SQL injection and malicious code attachment with just a few clicks. SoapUI is helping us to deploy the code to the cloud with the help of containers, as all this possible because of the robust integration of SoapUI with the other third-party tools like Bamboo.

Budget-Friendly Corporate Solution for API
SoapUI Pro is used for all API Automation testing, load testing, and security testing across the organization.
It address the functionality, flexibility, responsiveness and validity of our services. It allows smooth partner integration with our infrastructure. Smooth service testing and downstream system compatibility testing are done on daily basis. This tools allow us to achieve 95% automation capabilities in our services testing. Overall the tool adds a great value to our business.
We build a lot of web services using various technologies like NODE JS and Springboot. But we have not found a better tool to test what we made and give our Product managers a good demo other than SoapUI Pro. We use SoupUI Pro extensively. It has a very clean and easy user interface and a lovely way to organize various URLs. We have explored other products like Postman, but nothing matches close to SoapUI Pro. We use it extensively for testing the APIs and Web services as well.
We use SoapUI Pro across the tech teams for validating services.

Fast debugging/testing for a better product
I use SoapUI whenever I need to test various endpoints be REST or SOAP. I usually set up various projects for different environments and within each project I setup multiple endpoints we want to test. I like the easiness of using the application to quickly debug any issues in any of our environments. I can get to the issue quickly and test it in multiple environments at the same time. I like the way I can jump from endpoint to endpoint with just switching windows back and forth and compare results in the same window and not worry about copying text to another text editor. I can do my workflow in the same application.

Advantages of SoapUI over other and how it help. Me and my organization for better development
It is being used from time to time for testing our web services. I help developers to find and rectify issues, if any, before implementing it on the development system. It clears doubts about the functionality and output of the web service call.
Testing has been made really easy and quality has been improved manifold. The code coverage has also been increased thus improving overall customer satisfaction.

SOAP UI tool is simply the best for any organization
We use SOAPUI to test our web API calls and we did create a couple of projects inside of this tool to address different legacy projects. This tool is nice and handy when you need to test the bunch of different calls like GET and PUT, and POST. It also saves our work and can be easily picked up next time we need to test that API call. It also allows you to save user credentials to test the API call. We also tried Fiddler and Postman before coming to this. Somehow, this felt easy to maintain when testing the web API calls. I would recommend this product to my network friends.

Soap UI for Technical Product Managers and Business Analysts
I am a technical product manager. While we are dealing with opening new services via our product, it becomes very vital to test the input and output of services to look for all possible values. It is used by all system/business analysts and product managers across the whole organization. It seems there is no better alternative because it is a compact tool and makes analysts' and product managers' lives easier while dealing with the whole functionality of our products.

Great tool for testing web services
We use SoapUI in our organisation to simulate web services. There is a WSDL location which we copy and paste onto the SoapUI. After that we run XMLs through which data directly flows into our systems.

A happy and proud user
Our whole organization is using SoapUI NG Pro. Specifically, it's being widely used across all QA departments for Webservice testing. All the REST and SOAP API testing projects are being tested using SoapUI NG Pro. We are testing REST and SOAP APIs manually as well as automate them using SoapUI NG Pro.

API testing using SOAPUI
We have used SoapUI for an automation testing of API's. Used test runner to run scheduler jobs which will automatically do the health checks of API's and update the status in the database. Later, that data is used to build dashboards which shows which API's are up and which are down along with the error details. It is used as part of monitoring test environments by environment teams. Test results and dashboards really help the environment team to find out the problematic component and help to create a mitigation plan.

SoapUI - playing with web services
SoapUI is implemented by the systems team. We use it for the realization of SOAP or REST requests of the different web services that we manage for our clients.

Great tool to fetch data from web services
This tool has been used by developers and integrators to develop/test the various kinds of web services. It is also used to create xml schemas and xsd files. This tool also helps to daily download micro power grid data and store in databases.
SoapUI is used primarily by developers looking to connect to and develop against our suite of enterprise services. It makes testing and discovery easy for them. Additionally, our services developers use SoapUI to test and support the services they write. Without having to write any code, the structure of services can be quickly examined, and specific use cases tested. When the code is not behaving as expected, running a quick request in SoapUI is often the fastest way to narrow down the source of the problem.

SOAUI NG Pro- Best in the industry.
Until now, I have suggested three of our clients to use SOAP UI for their automated testing. I am an Integration developer and love automation (CI/CD). For leveraging the full advantages of DevOps lifecyle, we wanted to automate our assembly test cases for SOAP and REST APIs. After a bit of R&D across the market, I came to know the amazing features of SOAP UI Pro. We can write test cases, can use custom assertions with Groovy and can do a lot of cool stuff with SOAP UI. The best thing which pushes us to buy soap UI is its ability to execute TestSuite from outside of the SOAP UI IDE with Maven support. This is what we wanted to use in a DevOps environment, a testing framework which can be executed from outside with Maven. The another cool thing about SOAP UI is the reporting. It is very detailed and a person with minimal technical background can understand it easily.

Best tool to exchange the XML form data
It is used to create different types of web services and test those services. It helps to integrate test web services and verify that there is no bug in the newly developed web service. This tool is also used to get the XML response and store it into the system.

SoapUI, Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV)
SoapUI NG Pro is being used for creating regression tests for rest web services and soap services. The QA and development teams have used it to build and execute tests.

SoapUI: The best available test tool for Web Services.
Our company has several IT teams with many projects that either offer new API to our other sub-systems, or utilize our web services as a part of Enterprise Serial Bus (ESB).
For example, we have OSS projects that provide public RESTful API to higher layers such as GUI portals, and at the same time use private API of many sub systems such as AAA, NMS, JMS, ACS and so on. Most of our private web services are based on SOAP or JSON.
For above reasons, SoapUI became a vital part of our testing and automation activities. We use SoapUI (both free and pro versions) for extensive regression testing, data-driven smoke tests, Mocking web services and even sometime for a quick load & performance test.

SoapUI from a test point of view
We use SoapUI to test features in our software and code in multiple departments of the business and also help our customers to construct their own test scripts that use SoapUI. It helps us to get around some time consuming problems when we need to test a specific feature.

SoapUI must have tool for developers in SOA
SoapUI is great tool when we are working in SOA (Soap service or REST Service). The IT software development team uses SoapUI for testing service endpoints for validating different scenarios like negative testing/load testing.
