Postman vs Runscope comparison

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

"I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature."

"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."

"I recommend Postman for all business types."

"The API testing features are valuable."

"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."

"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."

"Postman helps to write pre-request scripts and make a collection out of each request. You don’t have to spend time writing or copying the requests. The solution lets you integrate multiple environments and their features. Either the tool’s pro or premium version lets you do the merge and pull request for the Git directly."

"We can receive an email and slack notifications if tests are failing/passing."

"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."

"It helps us verify that production deployments do not break the features our customers use."

"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."

"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."

"It has a relatively simple user experience."

"When it's a problem on our side, the server is down, or there is a lack of memory, the first thing to break is the API, because the calls can't be processed. So we know exactly at that moment because we receive notifications, and we can take action. It doesn't only notify us of the type problem, but it also links it to our servers."

"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."

"I don't think there is any need for comments on improvements."

"Could be more user friendly."

"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."

"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."

"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."

"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."

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

"One area that could be better is collection management."

"There are not many options for scalability."

"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."

"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)."

"The user interface requires a lot of clicking around."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We would like the ability to configure Runscope behavior when a given test has its schedule modified. That is, in a non-production environment, we often need to pause a test (either by removing it from the schedule or adjusting its frequency) and this results in the automatic kick-off of this test in all other environments. We would like the ability to simply pause a test for a specific shared environment without causing additional tests to be started."

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

"The solution is open-source and free."

"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 use the tool's free version."

"The solution has moderate pricing."

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

"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."

"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."

"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."
