We performed a comparison between Postman and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Postman is useful for API testing."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"I face no challenges or stability issues."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"Tricentis Tosca is a really cool tool that you don't have to be technical to use it. Additionally, the solution is easy to use. The modules, libraries, and reusable are in an efficient way to update all the tests. I find it spot on with that. We also started using the design which we switched from Excel. The design was superior to Excel."
"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"I have recently noticed that, for some reason, I am not able to import collections in JSON. It is weird because I was able to do it before. When you create a new collection and documentation, in tests, you usually have to click Save. If you don't click Save, your collections don't sync with other devices, which is something I don't like. It is not clear for the users in a shared workspace, and I usually forget to click Save and end up losing all the collections that I created. I create a lot of routes, and clicking Save all the time isn't efficient. Instead of clicking Save all the time, there should be an option to save everything in one go."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"To get this email reporting function, we have to integrate Postman with Newman. If the two are not integrated, we won't be getting all these things in one group."
"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."
"If you have knowledge of JavaScript, the initial setup is easy and straightforward. If not, it may take some time to learn about JavaScript before starting the implementation."
"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."
"They can make it more stable. I have used this tool for SAP applications. They have an alliance with SAP, and it mostly worked fine, but there were a few glitches. However, we got the required support from the Tricentis team. They are coming up with their new versions and upgrades with respect to how the Tricentis systems as cloud applications are updated, and it would be good if they have a robust accelerator pack."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"Primarily I'm dealing with customers looking for a cheap solution, and they are willing to try open-source automation solutions. So from this perspective, the price of Tosca is not as competitive."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
