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's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"This solution offers a free version."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"The user-interface is very good."
"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 most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The solution scales well."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"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."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"Postman could be improved by providing options for performance testing of APIs."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"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."
"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"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 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."
"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."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"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."
