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. API testing and performance **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ganesh K. | Senior QC Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021 **What do you like best about ReadyAPI?** Test cases can be automated in the tool itself. All the APIs can be arranged and save in tool. The response time and the output time in more efficient. Within team, it is easy now to share the APIs set more securely. **What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?** Sometimes not able to get response soon in case of large data passed through API. Some UI part for customization can be improved. Apart from this nothing else to dislike. **What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?** Now it is easy to share the data or API by creating a space and share it among the team members. It is shared more securly. API can be automated so it saves the time as well. ### 5.
