"We have seen a return on investment."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."

"For anyone who does not have experience with automation, ReadyAPI provides a sense of comfort, especially for testers who find it hard to go directly into coding."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"The great thing about ReadyAPI is that it has a wide variety of functions. You can test any API that you come across. You are not limited to one type of API. It supports many APIs."
"The two most valuable features we use are the functional test and the security test."
"It can create stress tests very fast, and some features help you do it fast."
"ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible."

"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."

"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective."
"They have performance testing also. However, it's not that great."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."

"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"The Property Transfer capability could be more user friendly because it is a bit difficult to understand."
