We performed a comparison between Apigee and Postman based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Apigee is its simplicity of deploying an API and restricting access, like rate limit, with the API."
"Tracing in Apigee is a very good feature."
"The flexibility allows you to quickly run a cloud-native application architecture."
"I like implementing different policies, for example, rate-limiting policy."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"I think the most valuable features are the security features. Of course, the user access control is the same as the security. The other very important issue is the sandboxing capability of Apigee."
"I'm still evaluating, but in terms of overall performance and stability, it's quite good."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The scalability is good."
"It is stable and does not lag."
"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."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"Technical support model for OPDK should be more exposed and mature in terms of providing support during installation, run, and debug of Apigee in production on OPDK mode."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The developer portal's adoption of the OpenAPI standard needs to be improved. In the latest version of the developer portal, they have adopted the OpenAPI standard. This feature, however, can be improved by supporting more characteristics of the OpenAPI standard."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"The analytical aspect of it could be better. I think it is fair if Apigee lets you configure some of the metrics of the key details you want to monitor in terms of analytics."
"Sometimes there are glitches, which means there's still room for improvement in the platform."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections."
"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
