Overall Satisfaction with SoapUI Open Source, supported by SmartBear

In our organization, SoapUI is mainly used by our Dev team department.

It is used in order to test all of our web services (SOAP, REST), from several sources (ASMX from SharePoint, custom ASMX, PHP web services, etc).

It is also used when there is an issue with technical interfaces between our tools, for example between our CRM and our e-Commerce platform. In order to update/remove data, we are using SoapUI to check or update data manually.

We have also several calls to external API, and if we want to test if they work properly, then we are using SoapUI
  • SOAP
  • REST
  • Authentication
  • Tutorials
  • Projects
  • Testing WSDL
  • Testing REST
  • Multiple authentication
  • Easy of use
  • Free version
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.

Even if there are 2 versions of SoapUI, the free version of SoapUI is very complete.

When you need to test a specific API (SOAP or REST), it is very useful and simple to use.
You can save several projects in SoapUI, so you can access multiple API directly from your SoapUI tool. For example, we are using it for our several environments : (stagging, quality, production, development). So with several projects, we can access several projects / API.

SoapUI, in the free version, does not provide any way to work as a team, you need to send manually the project if you want to share them.
