Featured Reviews

Aws V - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Team Leader -Automation Manager at Citco
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.

Helps in data, regression, performance, security, and functional testing
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

"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"If you are looking for an automation tool that is easy to implement, easy to understand, and works with most of technologies on the market, Ranorex is the appropriate solution for you."
"Data security was prime for us. Being able to download and run tests on our local machines was a big plus. The flexibility Ranorex offers in terms of customization is outstanding."
"It's easy to use the test suite and add test cases to do our product bug fixes, and software pre-release regression tests, and continuous Integration testing with Jenkins CI tool for each software build test."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool, where when you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures the test case steps and the next time you can replay the tool so the flow automatically happens again."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"For the money this is a great tool."
"For us this has meant increased test coverage, better system security, less test execution time and above all a greater quality product."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration, and it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"Support for Mac and Linux would be handy, it supports only Windows"
"The stability is in the range of eighty-five percent of what I was expecting. We still have some issues."
"Their logs are not compatible with the continuous integration we use internally."
"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."
"For a very long time, we were running into crashes with either Ranorex or Ranorex's utility (UIALauncher) which would stop our testing dead in its tracks."
"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."
"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy."
"I have not been able to use this tool a lot of time, so I don't consider myself in a position to say what can really be improved."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"I am not really a fan of the Ready Pro version even though I am sure it offers a lot."
"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."
"Working with Git needs to be improved. SoapUI 1.8.0 has this annoying habit of touching or changing many files that are unrelated to a test developer's actual change."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"I am never going to buy SoapUI, far too expensive."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"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 cost is not that bad."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
