Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"Dynamically changing application or a desktop application which is challenging to automate, blindly go for Ranorex."
"In this particular area Ranorex proved to be a perfect choice."
"Easy to use - without any dev skills you can automate some nice things C# or VB.NET is used for development, and you can find a lot of information online Fast email support and a forum with several experienced users and Ranorex employees on it Online webinars to help you get started We can combine Ranorex with Jenkins and JIRA."
"I implemented this tool for several of my customers and I can see the ROI right away."
"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."
"Customer Service: Excellent – very quick and detailed responses. Technical Support: Excellent – very quick and detailed responses."
"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."
"We chose this tool because it's lightweight, simple and intuitive."
"One of the main things that's great is the excellent integration into the DevOps tool-chain and the reuse of code between SoapUI and LoadUI."
"Overall, I think this solution is very cool and easy-to-use."
"Great tool. Makes API testing super easy to set up and use."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"We can test as many APIs as we like, it's very reliable and very easy to understand, anyone can learn it very quickly."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
 

Cons

"The stability is in the range of eighty-five percent of what I was expecting. We still have some issues."
"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."
"Their logs are not compatible with the continuous integration we use internally."
"I think it still needs to improve a lot."
"Support for Mac and Linux would be handy, it supports only Windows"
"I would like to see Ranorex come up with a load balancing tool for test execution."
"I would definitely say that the existing documentation of their API has a lot of room for improvement."
"Tests will fail if browser minimised, Parallel Execution Not possible (We could do are some extend if we use DOM method)."
"The UI should be improved a little."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"Sometimes you have to reload the project when you are moving/reorganizing tests in a project."
"When it comes to scalability, SoapUI has some room for improvement right now."
"Better integration capabiliites with a range of Test Management Systems (not that it is not possible using the API) where a range of aspects are considered such as housing of the project, sharing (some capabilities here), versioning of projects, automatic saving of run information and results (again this can be done in test suite setup but would be great to view in a test management system)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
"It is free of charge."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
