Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The interface is user-friendly.""SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly.""The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support.""API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features.""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.""The solution offers excellent integration capabilities.""The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."

"The stability has always been very good.""The interface is easy to use.""Visual Studio is the easiest to use.""The solution is very stable; there's nothing in relation to stability to complain about.""Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution.""It is a very common and strong product. A lot of support is available for this product.""The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable.""The whole suite is made for .NET development."

Cons
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang.""The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user.""Automation features are not user-friendly.""The UI should be improved.""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 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 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.""The UI could be a bit more flexible."

More ReadyAPI Test Cons →

"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable.""The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution.""In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line.""The pricing of this solution should be lowered.""The solution can improve the startup time.""There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less.""Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved.""The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost is not that bad."
  • "I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "It is free of charge."
