"I have not encountered instability with the product."
"A very functional solution."
"Items around the mobilization of the API interface and the ability to automate validations for our APIs are the most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature is monetization."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"I'm still evaluating, but in terms of overall performance and stability, it's quite good."

"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Collections."
"The user-interface is very good."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"Postman helps to write pre-request scripts and make a collection out of each request. You don’t have to spend time writing or copying the requests. The solution lets you integrate multiple environments and their features. Either the tool’s pro or premium version lets you do the merge and pull request for the Git directly."
"With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing."
"I would like to see SOAP services and socket-based connectivity developed."
"Role-based access management needs to be improved. It would also be nice if the solution could be integrated with code versioning systems like Git/Bitbucket."
"In terms of the functionalities of a typical API gateway, Apigee is actually doing its job, but when it involves integration with backend applications, which some gateways have, I don't believe it has this functionality. You have to do Java or do some other low-level coding before you are able to do the integration. Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult. It probably has ten different components, and all of these components leverage open-source utilities, such as NGINX. When those open-source vendors upgrade their utility, Apigee usually lags behind because they need to do a lot of tests and any required development in their own platform. They need to do rigorous testing to make sure that nothing breaks. Because of that, it takes them a while to upgrade whatever components have been upgraded by the open-source vendor that owns the utility. We've been chasing them for a particular upgrade for well over a year and a half, and they have not done that upgrade. It is creating a security risk for us as an enterprise, but that upgrade has not been done, even though the open-source vendor, the owner of the utility, has upgraded it a long time ago."
"The pricing for the product was a bit higher. I also found it challenging to manage sometimes."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"We are experiencing some performance issues."
"I have heard there maybe be some security issues that need to be addressed. If this is the situation I would encourage taking a look at the security matters."
"Sometimes there are glitches, which means there's still room for improvement in the platform."
"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."
