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."The API testing features are valuable."
"Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"I have enjoyed using parameters and setting parameters while powering directly."
"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."
"Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the recovery and cleanup process. Suppose there is a list of test cases and one test case has failed, it should not impact the other test cases. We can reuse the same test case. We can change the configuration of parameters and then use the test cases on the same thing. So, that's a useful thing. Otherwise, we have to use the cleanup process. Another useful feature is to have our own library files. We can create our objects in the libraries and reuse them. There is no need to create duplicate data for that. They have been giving some enhancements recently which means integration is also there. They've integrated with different software like Jenkins, Bamboo. So, we can also create pipeline points. They have recently given SAP and everything, which is very useful."
"The use of automation is most valuable."
"The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"This tool is very easy to use and I think that anyone can come in, having no experience with it, and within four to six months be comfortable with it."
"It can provide all levels of testing from design to execution to reporting."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"The request encryption could be one thing on which they can work a little bit. If we don't want to expose our production data but we still want to test our APIs on the production data, there should be a way to do that. It is not only with Postman. I think no tool in the market is doing that right now."
"Could be more user friendly."
"I live in Turkey, so for me, the value of dollar currency is high...Postman can change its pricing policy and decrease the prices for Turkey."
"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"Version management could be simplified."
"There should be ease of data manipulation within automation test cases."
"The main area where there is room for improvement is how they do upgrades. Going through this current upgrade, we were delayed a month because we are using a third-party tool. It's called Tosca Connect by Tasktop. When this latest upgrade broke that relationship between the two, it took Tricentis a month to come back with a workable solution... Their whole upgrade process needs to be better and cleaner, from an end-user standpoint."
"Tricentis Tosca's performance could be better. Sometimes when we are remapping or when it is loading it can take a lot of time. There are free solutions that have better performance in this area."
"More and more artificial intelligence (AI) is coming in. So, some amount of AI to create natural language processing (NLP)-based test cases and manage defects would be very helpful. This is because the technologies have evolved in the last five to six months, so there is a potential opportunity there."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"Tosca's reporting features could be better. Tricentis had a reporting tool called Analytics, but it didn't function properly after they reworked it. After that, they tried a new approach with key-tracing, and that didn't work."
