Compare Integration Eye vs. Runscope

Integration Eye® is a versatile modular solution designed to optimize system integrations, infrastructure, and business operations. It comprises three distinct modules: the proxy module IPM, the logging module ILM, and the security module ISM, each of which can function independently or work in unison. Built on the secure and widely adopted Java programming language, it operates efficiently on the lightweight integration engine Mule™. With the individual modules of Integration Eye®, users can effectively monitor their APIs and systems, generate statistics, and analyze API calls through the ILM module, while also receiving alerts for any issues like downtime or slow responses from specific APIs and systems. Additionally, the ISM module allows you to enhance security for your APIs and systems through role-based access control, leveraging either the Keycloak SSO we provide or your existing authentication server. The IPM module further enables the extension or proxying of service calls, both internal and external, with features like mutual SSL and customizable headers, while also allowing for the monitoring and analysis of these communications. This comprehensive approach ensures that your business operations are not only streamlined but also secure and resilient against potential disruptions.

An API Monitoring test using Runscope consists of one or multiple HTTP requests executed in a sequence to assess the availability, speed, and accuracy of an API. During each phase of the test, you can set up Assertions to check the response data and utilize Variables to retrieve information for later requests. A test is considered successful if all assertions are satisfied, whereas it will fail if any assertion does not hold true or if an error occurs, such as issues with the network connection. It’s crucial that your clients are not the ones informing you about service outages or malfunctions. Runscope integrates with your existing notification platforms like PagerDuty, Slack, HipChat, email, webhooks, and others. By actively monitoring your service performance, you can swiftly identify and troubleshoot API issues. Utilize the API Dashboard and daily API Performance Report to stay ahead of sporadic failures before they escalate into significant concerns. Ensure that your API calls' structure and content align with your expectations, as powerful and flexible assertions provide you with comprehensive control over the testing process. With these tools in hand, you can maintain a robust and reliable API experience for your users.
