We are using Fitnesse for subsystem testing i.e. WCF & RESTful services. Now as writing Fitnesse test requires lot of effort, we are thinking of using SOAP UI Pro which gives this sort of facility.

We are not 100% sure how much this is useful?

Can anyone give suggestion of using SOAP UI against Fitnesse or if somebody has Pros & Cons regarding either of the thing ??

A: 

I have used SoapUI non-Pro (the free version) with very good results. The Pro version adds some simplifying features, but I didn't see anything in it that I couldn't really do myself with my own global test vars, etc. Invest a day or an afternoon and try out the free version of SoapUI, then you'll be able to make a better-informed decision.

A: 

The primary advantage to fitnesse is that it provides a visual way that you can use to work with your client to produce tests that both they and you can understand and run. If your not doing that then there is not much of an advantage to fitnesse over other tools or just writing a functional / integration tests suite with a unit testing library (please make sure to separate it from your actual unit tests if you do this).
