"It is a stable solution."
"This solution offers a free version."
"It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"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."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"Postman does not have a check-in balance. Essentially what I mean by that is if there is something that is already configured on a particular device, it just overrides it without checking whether you really want to override it or not."
"The UI should be improved."
"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."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"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."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"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."
