"The scalability is good."
"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."

"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"The reporting could be better. It should give you a detailed PDF report after you run a test."
"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."
"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."
"I live in Turkey, so for me, the value of dollar currency is high...Postman can change its pricing policy and decrease the prices for Turkey."

"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."

"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"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."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"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."
