We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Technical support is helpful.""The solution is scalable.""We have seen a return on investment."

More Parasoft SOAtest Pros →

"The solution has some good scanning features.""ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code.""Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours.""The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support.""The tool’s scalability is very good.""One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful.""We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours.""SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."

Cons
"The summary reports could be improved.""UI testing should be more in-depth.""The performance could be a bit better."

More Parasoft SOAtest Cons →

"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards.""Automation features are not user-friendly.""The UI could be a bit more flexible.""There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases.""SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts.""SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve.""I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests.""I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price is around $5,000 USD."
  • More Parasoft SOAtest Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
  • "ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."

    Hi
    I have not done a comparison between these tools. I would go with open source tools if there are any at this point. If you need virtuailization, then select your tool based on that criteria.

    I think the last version of neoload (Neoload5) is able to do this. See the NeoLoad 5.0 Technical Publications: http://www.neotys.com/documents/doc/neoload/latest/en/html/#843.htm

    You may want to try LoadRunner, and particularly LoadRunner's Web Services protocol. It has full support for SOAP, WSDL and other related standards.

    It depends on what kind of testing you want to perform,if it is basic webservice testing with less complexity,SOAP UI suits well.SOAP UI has many APIs, which to prepare automation framework .A development experience is required for that to some extent.In Parasoft SOAtest,very less scripting is required as it itself provides a automation framework.Its easy to use and can be used without any training, with the help of user guide.But again scripting is required for complex scenarios based on the project.

    In our case the Smart bear products did not pass our security requirements/criteria for a 3rd party load testing vendor.

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:UI testing should be more in-depth. Right now, they only have one feature: record and play. We need to have a bit more in terms of functionality. We hope they will improve on this in the future.
    Top Answer:The tool’s scalability is very good.
    Top Answer:Automation features are not user-friendly.
