Postman vs Runscope comparison

"Postman is easy to use and enables us to test all possible API testing scenarios."

"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."

"With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing."

"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is Collections."

"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."

"It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs."

"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."

"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."

"Tests are per-step configurable with script capabilities and support for token-based authentication using variables. Configurable test frequency and integration with both Slack and PagerDuty for alerting our DevOps team are also important. General use of the dashboard by multiple team members is also valuable."

"It is a cloud-based environment for building and executing tests, which allows me to focus on building, running, and reviewing test results."

"You can run it off the cloud and against different data centers. That's one of the plus points for most people for this product, as opposed to some other solutions."

"The schedule is definitely the most valuable. Also, being able to check the JSON attribute values is helpful. We always check the attributes. Finally, the notifications are helpful as well."

"Environment initial variables allow our team to run tests against multiple environments on the fly."

"It uses JavaScript which is easy."

"It has a relatively simple user experience."

"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."

"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."

"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."

"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."

"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."

"Postman needs to improve its support for a lot of integrations."

"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."

"Could be more user friendly."

"File upload is a big part of the products that we test. The lack of file upload in Runscope requires us to still use UI (Selenium) automated tests for these scenarios."

"The initial setup included a lot of repetitive manual work."

"If you forget to set the default environment during test creation, you have to go through every test and make sure that it is set to the environment that you prefer if using shared environments. If there was an option to force all tests within a bucket into a specific environment with one click, this would save a lot of time."

"Currently, we can only schedule to the nearest five minutes, one hour, two hours, etc. If we could set up the exact time that we want it to run, that would be good because sometimes we have one service that crosses another service."

"It would be nice to be able to generate API documentation."

"We definitely make use of historical test results, especially when tracking more difficult issues such as timeouts. Per our test frequency (15 minutes) we often need to go back further than the last 100 test runs. We are aware that results further back in time are available through the Runscope API, however, it would be great if the dashboard allowed easy access to a larger amount of historical data."

"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."

"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."

"We are using its free version."

"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."

"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."

"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."

"I am using the free option."

"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."

"Postman is a free service."

"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."

"Pricing is fair."

"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"

"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
