We performed a comparison between Postman and ReadyAPI based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Postman only has a couple of solutions to automate API tests, whereas ReadyAPI can do both API testing and load testing. ReadyAPI users also report a positive ROI, while Postman users do not. For these reasons, ReadyAPI wins this comparison.
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"Good at simulating the API code from a fictitious client application to check API behavior."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"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 utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"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."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"I live in Turkey, so for me, the value of dollar currency is high...Postman can change its pricing policy and decrease the prices for Turkey."
"I would like to see improvements in the maintenance of the scripts and their collections. It is really painful that the user cannot drag and drop. It was also painful to create the standard suite of operations for the product. I am not sure if this is improved in the tool’s latest versions. The maintenance of the complex scenarios prompted us to use the solution only for unit testing. In the future, we may switch to the k6 framework."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"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."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"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."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
