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."Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"The variables part is good. We can easily define the variables and we don't have to manually do a change every time, it gets automatically updated."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"It's stable and reliable."
"I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers."
"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."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"They should provide more specific documentation on configuration."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"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."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"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 technical support could be improved."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Not being able to mask test data in relation to testing data management, in my opinion, is also a limitation."
"The product is not very stable when used with cloud storage. It is very hard to load the screen, making it difficult to use the tool in cloud storage."
"One thing to improve in Tricentis Tosca is that it's not compatible with Excel based forms. Another area for improvement is that the tool is not compatible with OpenText applications. The support and licensing cost for it also need improvement. The tool also needs cloud support, as it's currently on-premises only."
"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."
"It would be of great help if they can fix the loading or performance issues. Sometimes, when I create the test case folder and test cases, it feels like it has loading or performance issues. When passing the objects, we can't sometimes find the exact element. We need to find out that exact location and just give the path for that, and then it works. In the pipeline, when creating Jenkins, we create the list execution for passing the execution list to the commander. I feel it is a bit late, by a fraction of seconds. I first thought it could be my mistake or a setting issue, but I worked on that, and it's not a mistake or a setting issue."
