Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual.""It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good.""Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time.""The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."

More IBM DevOps Test UI Pros →

"It's a very simple solution to use.""SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly.""One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful.""The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature.""The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application.""API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable 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 Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."

More ReadyAPI Test Pros →

Cons
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility.""As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support.""The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run.""They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."

More IBM DevOps Test UI Cons →

"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs.""If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating.""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.""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.""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.""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.""Automation features are not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing is good but the prices for the products are expensive. A single-user license may go for something like $10,000 to $30,000. There are no additional costs, and support is included within that price."
  • More IBM DevOps Test UI 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."
