Automated testing optimizes API workflow and collaboration
Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier. Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.

Enables us to monitor API endpoints to ensure everything is running
I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens. Another thing I have found is that the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug. Finally, other than the Runscope documentation, I haven't seen too much elsewhere. I haven't seen a user community.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good at simulating the API code from a fictitious client application to check API behavior."
"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The scalability is good."
"It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"Postman is very user-friendly and accessible even for those with minimal experience."
"It uses JavaScript which is easy."
"We have the ability to populate environment variables using scripts. This allows us to keep the configuration mostly dynamic and avoid a lot of manual updates when something changes."
"We can receive an email and slack notifications if tests are failing/passing."
"We love the fact that we can have our API tests run on a schedule as often as we need. We also take advantage of being able to set up different environment settings so that we can use the same test in our production, integration, and QA environments, easily. The ability to string together a number of API tests for a test suite is very important to us as well."
"The feature of automatically executing tests at a predefined time interval is great as we can be continuously testing our end-points before and after builds are deployed."
"This solution has improved our responsiveness to issues in both production and non-production environments. Through integration with Slack, our development and DevOps teams are quickly aware of issues related to new changes deployed to non-production environments, which tightens our feedback loop during testing. Through integration with PagerDuty, our DevOps resources are able to reduce the adverse impact of a given production issue."
"It is a relatively reliable tool for running big amounts of API tests, which you can schedule to run periodically, as the product is very good."
"Environment initial variables allow our team to run tests against multiple environments on the fly."
 

Cons

"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"Version management could be simplified."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"The product lacks a good console."
"Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"It would be nice to be able to generate API documentation."
"We would like to have an improved ability to share a set of tests across different environments (e.g., dev, stage, and prod)."
"I would like to see easier integration and display of test results so that the data could be shared via a dashboard within our company. (Some integration is possible, provided you use one of the supported platforms)."
"If triggering test bucket via trigger API, there is no option to see if the tests which were triggered passed or failed."
"Navigation can be a little tricky when changing run environments and switching between test run results and editing the tests. It would be nice if you could switch the environment for all tests in a Bucket to run, rather than having to change each test environment."
"I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens."
"One thing that can be improved is the logging. Sometimes, when we have an error, we don't know how to find more information about the problem that has happened. Sometimes, it just returns something like "that gateway." More information would be a way to improve it."
"There are not many options for scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution offers a free version."
"Postman is a free service."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"I am using the free option."
"We use the open-source version. They introduced a new licensing model where your company must subscribe to their services if you're using it for business purposes. However, I think they charge too much if you're only using the basic features. It limits what your organization can do if you're not a paying customer."
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
"Pricing is fair."
"Having the different plans organized by team size, buckets, and requests per billing period works for our needs. Larger companies may need to take a close look at these elements."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
