We used Postman. Runscope makes it much easier for those without a programming background to accomplish API testing.

Before Runscope, I only used UI (Selenium) testing solutions.

We did not previously use another solution.

We did not previously use another solution.

We did use Postman but not for scheduling; just to do a quick check, we ran it from there. I don't know too many tools in the market, so it's hard to make a comparison. I think Postman does notifications and schedules stuff, but I don't know the price, so I don't know if it would be similar or totally different.

Although I wasn't with the company when they chose Runscope, one of the main things I was told was that they chose this product is because it's cloud-based. The company has different data centers. You can run it off the cloud and against different data centers. That's one of the plus points for most people for this product, as opposed to some other solutions.

We were using editors to create scripts and run them locally. This was unstable, not shareable, or a uniform solution. We were not able to run big amount of tests simultaneously and receive notifications.

We had a previous solution, but Runscope has a better user interface and is easy to set up, so that is why we switched.

Previously used Postman. I needed the scheduling feature that Postman, at the time, did not have.

We have used Postman quite a bit, but Runscope makes it easier to group tests together in a logical way. In addition, being able to run tests on a schedule and make them available to everyone on a team is great.
