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.
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"The scalability is good."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The solution scales well."
"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 product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"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 solution has some good scanning features."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"If you have knowledge of JavaScript, the initial setup is easy and straightforward. If not, it may take some time to learn about JavaScript before starting the implementation."
"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."
"We do the implementation of Postman and give support. We had to use two engineers for the implementation, one senior and one junior for the process."
"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 documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"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."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"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."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
