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.
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"This solution offers a free version."
"It is stable and reliable."
"With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"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 out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"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 utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"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."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"The request encryption could be one thing on which they can work a little bit. If we don't want to expose our production data but we still want to test our APIs on the production data, there should be a way to do that. It is not only with Postman. I think no tool in the market is doing that right now."
"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
"I would like to have a code snippet where I can write a code and for the responses of the endpoints to be validated using my custom business conditions."
"Should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"The UI should be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"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."
