Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Helps in data, regression, performance, security, and functional testing
ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have automated 15+ internal applications for our client, which reduced much manual effort on regression testing."
"Since it is possible to reference the API from some other tools and solutions, instead of being forced to use Ranorex studio, we gained a lot on flexibility and re-using our existing tools and technologies in combination with Ranorex features which are relevant for our test automation process."
"Easy to use - without any dev skills you can automate some nice things C# or VB.NET is used for development, and you can find a lot of information online Fast email support and a forum with several experienced users and Ranorex employees on it Online webinars to help you get started We can combine Ranorex with Jenkins and JIRA."
"We tried several, and we chose Ranorex for its ability to cover large amounts of testing with minimal coding."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."
"Object identification is good, it is easy to identify and convenient for scripting as well, which is a good thing for us."
"With a small team of one onshore person and three offshore people, I was able to show the value of $90,000 savings for a project as a POC and the customer is currently using this tool for several other projects in their organization after seeing the ROI for one project."
"It has reduced the cost of production and operations."
"We run around 10,000 different validations, including database validations, and we can complete the entire aggregation in less than one hour."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"API mockups is a feature that quickly allowed us to have a working API mockup interface during the initial API discussion meetings."
"Great tool. Makes API testing super easy to set up and use."
"The solution saves us a ginormous amount of time; we used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"It's usually any minor firewall change or anything changed in our security system that seems to throw me off for a few days where I have to troubleshoot it and figure out why it's not working."
"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available."
"Need support for other operating systems like Mac and Linux, and not just Windows."
"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."
"Ranorex doesn't provide automation for Windows Mobile, and lacks some of the basic functions like table comparison etc."
"They need to improve their support of different web browsers along with Flash support."
"The compatibility with different browsers needs to be improved."
"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."
"Because we are paying such a huge cost, we expect more hands-on support from their research and development team."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"Better integration capabiliites with a range of Test Management Systems (not that it is not possible using the API) where a range of aspects are considered such as housing of the project, sharing (some capabilities here), versioning of projects, automatic saving of run information and results (again this can be done in test suite setup but would be great to view in a test management system)."
"I think their user-information sites should be better defined by SoapUI. For example, if I want to hit that virtualize server, let's say, with a 100K load — what is the bare minimum requirement?"
"In the LoadUI companion the scripts are not user friendly, and it also has a slow startup time."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy."
"There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"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."
"My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"It is free of charge."
"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
"The cost is not that bad."
