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.
"In Postman, we have an option to directly import a call, make it a Postman collection, and execute it in a batch. This feature is very useful. It saves a lot of time. The manual effort is also reduced when we can just pick it in a Postman collection and then run and execute it to get the results."
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"It is stable and does not lag."
"The solution is stable."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"The solution scales well."
"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."
"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 tool’s scalability is very good."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."
"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"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."
"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."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"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."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"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."
