Chose Protractor
Cypress.io is an alternative end-to-end test framework that does NOT use Selenium. Since I've only evaluated this tool as a possible solution, my estimation of its performance against Protractor is incomplete. However, if you and your team are looking for automation solutions …

Chose SoapUI Open Source
SoapUI Open Source is free, which is good for light use or simple things here and there. There is a Pro version that makes things more user-friendly. I also like that custom code can also be used for doing more complicated tasks.

Chose SoapUI Open Source
Compared to SoapUI, we have been using "light" tools like RestClient extension in Firefox, or Postman.

Compared to Postman, SoapUI is more simple for WSDL / SOAP webservices, as SoapUI generate all envelop, but Postman does not.

Chose SoapUI Open Source
Every application has its own features and UI design but SoapUI is also very good at testing. All features are awesome.

It is a strong fit for end-to-end acceptance and regression testing inside the browser.

If you are making system upgrade project and you have existing system working and you want to imitate messages that are going in production but without making any data loads or switch it’s very suitable and convenient software. It serves well in manual test scenarios but wouldn’t be as good in case of mass tests.

Pros
  • Async operations for browser-based validation tests. This kind of feature is a must-have for building tests to scale.

Cons
  • It would be great to see the Protractor API implemented successfully inside a non-Angular web application.

Cypress.io is an alternative end-to-end test framework that does NOT use Selenium. Since I've only evaluated this tool as a possible solution, my estimation of its performance against Protractor is incomplete. However, if you and your team are looking for automation solutions outside of the Selenium scope, then Cypress.io may be a good fit given the problems you're trying to solve.

SoapUI Open Source is free, which is good for light use or simple things here and there. There is a Pro version that makes things more user-friendly. I also like that custom code can also be used for doing more complicated tasks. I like that SoapUI can have a process/flow (conditional/loop/waits/etc.) set up for scripting purposes, which is good for beginners and light users. However, I think the user interface has room for improvement.
