Enhances the SoapUI Experience for More Robust Testing **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ray S. | Staff Test Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2026 **What do you like best about ReadyAPI?** Enhances the SoapUI experience and lets you perform more robust testing. It is easy to create new tests when importing Swagger, or even when you don't exactly have the specs yet. **What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?** Licensing can be pretty pricey for what it is **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** I wanted a test suite that could easily integrate with our Jenkins CI tool, to run whenever there was a new build created. There was pre-built functionality that allowed this to be done pretty easily - did not have to invent the wheel ### 2. sprout social API **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Koyuki N. | AI, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2023 **What do you like best about ReadyAPI?** Great way to integrate metadata into our backend. **What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?** pricing can be a bit high and lack of bundles/tiered pricing **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** Dynamic, self serving reporting with all metadata in snowflake ### 3. ReadyAPI performance testing tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vasanth L. | Technical Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2021 **What do you like best about ReadyAPI?** It's a well-organized tool that provides clean and well-versed documentation to perform the required testing to the apis. It offers clean reports after the execution to analyze the results. **What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?** Since the tool is not open source, the free users are not accessible to all the features. Also, the pricing for an individual user is high, which can be minimized. **Recommendations to others considering ReadyAPI:** It's better to use the application only if your company is providing a licensed version. The major question one should ask themselves is that what is not available in the opensource tools like Jmeter that is available in this. Is the tool providing those features for the money that are being spent. As to my experiene that I have had, I feel that as an organization the tool would be helpful if the usage is really high and is restricted to core API and not any 3rd party inclusion. In that case, the tool works really well and provides decent insights for the test runs. Incase you are looking for a random day usage, spending money might not be the best choice cause there is a timeframe for the licence. Based on these factors the user can make their decisions on using the tool or not. **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use the tool to perform load testing of API, which provides insights about the test runs. These reports that are generated help me to identify the performance of the application and also help to fix the bottlenecks. ### 4.

Finally and is my personal top , that is a litle dificut to work with , the gadget and functionalitys are no available as easy as Visual studio . **Recommendations to others considering ReadyAPI:** firs of all , try to translate to spanish (latin american spanish) second try to put your paid version more friendly to the user , i know is not a tool for final user , but still is a paid version you should put effort in using the tool in a more practical way. Easy to use , easy to understand more ways to test the aplications , and make the diference with the free version of it. **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** Test web service outside the development area is a good way to see if your services work as they should. ### 37. Perfect tool for API for both basic and experienced users **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike V. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2018 **What do you like best about ReadyAPI?** SOAPUI is a tool that can be easily used to setup API testing. Both technical and non-technical testers can easily design testcases having only a wsdl to start with. By making use of properties and property transfers and the possiblity to write additional scripts in e.g. Groovy, testcases can be made modular and reusable. **What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?** In some screens, it's not always clear that there's info beneath/under a line or header. When expanding the screen part, the extra info becomes visible (e.g. with asserts) **Recommendations to others considering ReadyAPI:** You can start with the free version first, but the Pro version has a much better UI, and its' possible to switch servers/environments Name your teststeps using GHERKIN ("Given" for properties, "when" for calling the service, "then" for asserts). It will make our testcases very readable. **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it for API testing, along with UI testing in Testcomplete.

The reports of the test results, and the variety of formats to present them are great and very helpful. **What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?** It woulkd be very helpful if some features and or commands, actions as well, have a brief explanation of their function. Maybe an informational pop up box can be displayed when we hover over the command or word. **Recommendations to others considering ReadyAPI:** Because it has so many functions, a brief explanation, on a hover over pop up, would help us to better navigate and know how to better use it. **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to make all kind of modifications to existing functionality and test changes that identify problems.

As long as you know the WSDL address, the endpoints are easily exercised. **What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?** There are some quirky behaviors of the UI that can be a little annoying, likely due to the product being written in Java rather than using native Windows UI components. As a result, it sometimes behaves oddly when resizing or using Remote Desktop. Additionally, the start up time can be painfully slow. **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a lot of existing SOAP services that we need to maintain, and SOAP makes it easy to keep track of them, make sure they are responding correctly, and test specific response cases for them. ### 48.
