Postman vs Runscope comparison

"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."

"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."

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

"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."

"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."

"It is nice to have different workspaces. You have your personal workspace, and then you have a team workspace. In general, I like its UI. It is quite cool."

"It is a scalable solution."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"We utilize modular tests based on environment variables. These have saved QA a lot of time when setting up our back-end automation."

"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 relatively reliable tool for running big amounts of API tests, which you can schedule to run periodically, as the product is very good."

"It uses JavaScript which is easy."

"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."

"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections."

"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."

"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."

"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."

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

"Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately."

"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."

"We would like to be able to select the actual time a test will run automatically. It appears that you can set up the automatic schedule, but the test runs based on the last time it ran and not a time you select. Since we want these tests to run in the middle of the night, it would be nice to be able to select 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."

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

"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."

"Reliability. I would like to see more money invested in disaster recovery testing of the application. The product should be hosted across several AWS regions so if there are issues with an EC2 instance in a particular region, the whole application won't be affected. Once or twice a year there are issues with AWS that causes the reliability of the application to suffer."

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

"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."

"If triggering test bucket via trigger API, there is no option to see if the tests which were triggered passed or failed."

"We are using the free version that is available."

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

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

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

"Postman is a free service."

"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."

"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."

"We do not pay any money for Postman."

"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"

"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."
