We started with the open-source version, but later on as vendor services increased, the scope increased. So, at that time we migrated from open-source to the commercial version of SoapUI Pro.

We are not just using SoapUI Pro; we are also using ServiceV Pro, which is part of the ReadyAPI umbrella. So we are doing virtualization and also API automation using the same tool. For us, it was easy to have a single tool or tool set from a single vendor with all those options included with virtualization or API automation.

We were working with Postman previously. We transitioned to ReadyAPI Test because of the limitations in capabilities.

We use ReadyAPI and SoapUI. Both products are similar, however, I'm not sure about the pricing. 

Previously, we used our homegrown web client. 

I previously tested TestNG/Java. With this solution, we were able to develop tests about three times faster than we did with Java and by doing manual REST reverse engineering from product code (Java). This solution also enabled manual testers to write automated tests, which they would not have been able to do in Java.

I have not used anything like this tool. Eclipse does a lot that I need but SoapUI does as well.

I am not aware of any previous solutions.

I have not used other solutions for back and testing personally. Comparing to robot framework SoapUI had more pros than robot framework.

We chose this product because it is easy to use and have many functions that supports ours needs for example SOAP, REST and JDBC requests.

We also use Selenium/JMeter/Gomez etc. SoapUI is just one of the tools that I use.

Tcpdump and others like that, no one had the ability to work in a structured way with webservices like SoapUI.
