Lack of free version.

The cost is too high.

Too many updates whole round the year creates confusion on stability.

Examples are not easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Altova XMLSpy provides an excellent visual user interface for designing new XML schemas from scratch and maintaining existing XML schemas. It allows even novices to learn how XML schemas work and figure out how to create an XML schema to model real-world objects or represent the data structures that are relevant to them.

The software licensing costs for Altova XMLSpy might put it out of reach of non-corporate users. It would be great if there were a lite or free version that was available for non-commercial use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool helps me to create varity of schema depending on the system also help me to create webservice. The best thing about XMLspy is that it integrates with DataPower and allow to test the code before even putting it into DataPower. Which no other IDE does. Features like visual schema creation, xsl v2 support, graphical WSDL creation, open XML support, diff dog and many more makes it even more powerful tool. It not only helps in coding it helps on creating the design documents as well. Ahh, I almost forgot that it helps a lot by integrating itself with eclipse. I use this IDE a lot and xmlspy makes my life easy by integrating with it. Creating scema and WSDL is so easy in this tool. And the graphical options gives so much visibility of the inter related schemas, which helps any organization which uses schemas for all its service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All good about this tool. Nothing bad. Price could have been a bit less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there is a time for you to use data in XML format together with Schema development - Altova XML Spy is the right choice.

You can easily develop new schemas in an intuitive way using cool UI - just add new nodes into the graph.

Or, you can switch to the text format and work with it.

Next, you can validate you XML files against yours schemas, or transform data using XSLT.

Plus, it supports JSON and many more formats/standards!

Great experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike actually, this is my best tool to develop XML schemas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used XMLSpy for around 10 years now and have always got on well with it. Whenever I have moved companies I have always insisted XMLSpy is purchased as part of my software suite as it is critical to the work I do.

It makes analysing XML files very easy, and I use it a great deal for setting up xsd files which is very simple and straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No dislikes about the software, I find it meets all my needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What is not to like in Xml spy, with so many similar products already in the market XML spy is first choice. Other products are just limited to editing xml but Altova Xml spy allows to validate, edit, format xml, validate, format and write xslt, XPath, against an schema. One doesn't needs a comparison tool as with xml spy comparison is also possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I understand that the project offering so many features often charge but I felt this product price is little higher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

XMLSpy is a very powerful tool that needs to be included in your development toolbox. The XMLSpy editor is extremely helpful when trying to solve issues in your backend systems and processes when creating or developing your XML or XSD templates. The step through, viewer and the ability to add threads for stress and integration needs when whitebox testing or development is phenomenal.

The wizards have been revamped so that it's not complicated but actually straight-forward when implementing some of the features that are unlocked. One of the more powerful aspects with XMLSpy is the WSDL & SOAP tools help tremendously when creating or developing your process. Since I'm a SQA Engineer the tools and debuggers in XMLSpy have helped me to isolate issues or even for that matter potential issues/bugs that could surface in your testing phase. I've used the SOAP client to help me when I needed to interpret third-party WSDL docs from our development partners. It is so helpful to use the database integration portion of the tool that helps with SQL interoperability configurations. Download the tool you won't regret it.

I guess the only thing that is a negative is price but down the line it pays for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The schema validation and the graphical representation of the object in the XML document is very important for the developer/data engineers while working with the XML format files.

XMLspy used to validate the schema and even helped with showing all the list of objects present in the XML file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since we can't connect it directly from git hub so I felt it will be really convenient if we have those features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

XML spy is my favorite editor. I've used this tool to edit my xml code because of their fully loaded language markup editor. It's very easy to debug the code using this tool. Love the Grid view option which displays the code in a clear and concise manner making editing quick and efficient . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is the only downside to this tool. Wish it was a little less expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the best is for creating and validating XML**s with the schema/XSD and xml using Soap UI it is easy to use for validating the files against a schema and easy to format XML data and can see the flows for a XML schema
