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.
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"The API testing features are valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."
"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB."
"Postman could be improved by providing options for performance testing of APIs."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"Version management could be simplified."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"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."
"I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"The UI should be improved."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"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."
