The spy and tracking features are great When a script fails having a green check mark to show what is working in playback mode vs a red "x" next to what fails in the xPath just speeds up the debugging process

Senior QA analyst

Automation has does not work well when resolution is not set as 100% and there are multiple screens and also Salesforce automation does not seem to work very well with Ranorex

Tech Lead

Automated Desktop Application Testing by creating more robust test suite in a single mahchine which then can be replayed on all our 70 test machines in combination with difffreent HW model (like, Dekstop, Laptop, Workstation, Tab) and different OS Language (like Chinese, French..).

Product manager

This is totally unacceptable and definitely not a pro-customer approach.

SoapUI is a desktop automation testing tool that allows testers or developers write, execute and maintain automated API tests.

Supports Parallel Execution

QA engineer

Overall I like to work with SoapUI as it can handle both SOAP and REST request type testing.

Executive Architect

The grrovy integration for writing the integration level api tests

Quality Assurance Analyst

It allows us to easily add the WSDL endpoint and generate sample XML requests, which is a great advantage.

Sr. QA Automation Engineer

Not the best tool for API testing, however it work good enough

Software Developer

By using the open source version of SoapUI, I am able to test endpoints, their authentication and create a whole suite of tests to ensure the integration will go over smoothly.

Software Engineer

It helps our organization to perform the load testing of our application through which we can enhance our application performance.

Associate

It supports multiple customizable format and also provide automatic testing through command-line interface.

However, the free version can still be used for basic testing needs.

It provides soap as well as rest API testing .We can do data driven testing using Soap UI.

It also help us to find the vulnerabilities in our application by which we can prevent our application from malicious attacks.

Senior Quality Assurance Manager

It used to be the best, it is now behind the competition I think because it lacks more flexibility to save testing projects, manage test assets and advanced test automation features.

A good experience, facing some issues to work smooth

Software engineer 

Overall, SoapUI is an Excellent tool for API testing.

Technical QA Lead

It was the first API testing tool I used, like 10 years ago and I am still using SoapUI for a bunch of API testing project, even Soap and Rest.

Easy to use interface and scripting abilities help create codes to call various rest commands with custom parameter datas to be able to test or run various business requirements directly.

Lead Software Engineer

Passing files as multipart/form-data is a bit complex and non-intuitive compared to Postman.

Quality Assurance Specialist

Additional plug in support and integration with GIT and Jenkins helps with CICD pipeline.

Associate Manager - Test Engineering

Its interface is very user friendly and Tester's can easily write, run, integrate, and even automate checks quickly.

It is free to use tool which has been leveraged by our project and has been helping us to automate API tests.

Team Lead of Internal Tools

One of our SOAP services has 100+ endpoints, so much so that SoapUI can't handle loading sample requests for the entire endpoint and will freeze the computer.

I prefer soap ui over postman due to it's security feature and easy accessibility.  

T24 Senior Functional Analyst

Thread handling and logical asynchronous execution of use cases are very convenient for automated testers as well as developers to check the optimization of their code.

IT Specialist

Also extensively using for mocking of services & automated testing of API's.

Software architect

Parallel testing and support for testing old SOAP protocol

The community edition contains some known bugs related to the UI Editor.

Consultant ERP

The ease of downloading the software on my computer was the requirement that made my decision more positive. When using SoapUI, there is the option of working with more than one project and during the tests the integration and results fail.

Soap UI is best java based application for API testing .

Compiling errors before running should be inbuild for groovy scripting

Solution architect

Lately we use Postman more and more, since Rest is becoming a standard for APIs.

Easy script assertions and easy to debug web services and locate errors

Here TestSuites and script based tests come very handy.

Creating script based tests is simple and come very handy.

When it comes to API Testing, SoapUI is the first tool that comes to my mind.

Engineering Team Lead 

Overall SoapUI does its job in a decent way but there are other options in the market that I would recommend over it, more modern and simple to use.

QA Engineer

API testing is smooth with SoapUI and the layout of the application is simple and easy to use.

software developer

I have been able to check code optimization by just creating test scripts and executing them on SOAP UI very conveniently.

T24 Technical Analyst

It is very easy to set up a Soap/Rest project and start working with those APIs.

Straight forward procedure to run any grt or post calls.

Senior Associate

Easy to install and it works amazing for SOAP web services.

Sr Automation Analyst

was the tool to use to create transactions for the set of service virtualization that we implemented.

Sr Programmer Analyst

It's a very useful tool to debug and test REST and SOAP services, it's good for a new user or new developer.

Sr Software Engineer

It solves a common problem when testing applications and it is that usually they are subject to human factor.

You can organize different projects using the left pane from the UI fairly easy

It has a very user-friendly graphical user interface that allows structured testing.
