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."This solution offers a free version."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"I am impressed with the product's script test."
"The Model-Based Test Automation is the most valuable feature, where you can create reusable components. Even though we are using a scriptless automation tool, there still needs to be an understanding of how to create reusable components and how to keep refactoring and how to keep regression, the test scripts, at an okay level. We are coupling Tosca with some other risk-based testing tools, as well, but automation is primarily what we're using Tosca for, the scriptless, model-based technology which is driving automation for us."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"Multiple scanning engines to automate many different applications."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"It's integrated with different technologies, desktop applications, package solutions like SAP, and mobile applications."
"The mainframe testing and UI automation are the most valuable aspects of the solution."
"We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB."
"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."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"I would like to see improvements in the maintenance of the scripts and their collections. It is really painful that the user cannot drag and drop. It was also painful to create the standard suite of operations for the product. I am not sure if this is improved in the tool’s latest versions. The maintenance of the complex scenarios prompted us to use the solution only for unit testing. In the future, we may switch to the k6 framework."
"First, Tricentis could improve Tosca's Linux scripting. We can automate Linux scripting, but there are a few commands that Tosca doesn't support. DVS support and the object identification mechanism could also be better."
"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."
"With regard to areas of improvement, report customization should be easier. It would be good if Tosca could provide standard reports for at least 20 variants. At present, there are only three to four variants. The mobile engine needs to be faster and easier to use; it is a bit cumbersome. Also, the object identification in the mobile engine needs improvement. I would like to see easy-to-use customizations for reports in the next release."
"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"
"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Tricentis Tosca could improve on its mobile automation solution."
"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."
