Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool’s scalability is very good.""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 product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on.""The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others.""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.""SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing.""It's a very simple solution to use.""The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."

Cons
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy.""Automation features are not user-friendly.""The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user.""Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better.""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 could improve by having dashboards.""Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang.""I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."

More ReadyAPI Test Cons →

"The tool crashes and has high memory consumption.""It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it.""The pricing of this solution should be lowered.""Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved.""Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly.""Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability.""The performance could be faster.""The solution's documentation could be improved for beginners."

Pricing and Cost Advice
