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

"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 can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"I can use multiple environments, which allows me to create environment variables for each endpoint."
"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 can receive an email and slack notifications if tests are failing/passing."
"It is a cloud-based environment for building and executing tests, which allows me to focus on building, running, and reviewing test results."
"It helps us verify that production deployments do not break the features our customers use."
"Valuable features include: Being able to add tests as sub-tests in a parent test for regression testing; notifications for tests that pass/fail; being able to customize expected results with assertions; being able to set tests to run daily."
"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 has a relatively simple user experience."
"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."
 

Cons

"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"The product lacks a good console."
"Postman needs to improve its support for a lot of integrations."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"If we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse. So developing environment compatibility would make it better."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Needs the ability to create code which runs before and after API tests."
"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."
"There are not many options for scalability."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to generate API documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is open-source and free."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"Pricing is fair."
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
"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."
