Rusira Sathnindu - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
AI coding has accelerated our feature delivery and has transformed how our team builds services
I have been noticing recently that Cursor introduced their own model, which is pretty limited; it is very fast, but it is not smart. They might have to improve that, along with the agent selection methodology. When you select auto, you expect it to use the best agent possible and think of the money savings, but it does not always work as expected, sometimes providing bad code or code that has bugs. I think the auto mode selection can improve. Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up. We are paying an amount similar to a developer's salary for Cursor now. I believe all the needed improvements are primarily around the auto agent selection mode and pricing. If they could be more transparent about it, that would be appreciated. We only see the bill at the end of the month, and it is often a high amount, so transparency in the pricing would be very helpful for us as developers.
Ravi Raushan Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at ValueMomentum
Collaborative API workflows have improved testing speed and streamlined multi-team releases
The best features of Postman Enterprise are team collaborations, automated API testing, environment management, and API governance. The shared workspace and collections make collaborations very smooth across the teams, and automated testing and CI/CD integrations help catch issues early. I also appreciate the governance and security features because they help maintain API standards and consistency across large projects. API governance has helped my team maintain consistent API naming, request structures, and documentation standards across multiple services, reducing confusion between the teams and making onboarding easier. On the security side, environment variables and access control helped me avoid exposing sensitive data such as tokens or API keys, and they also made collaborations safer because different teams could access only the resources they needed. I found that the collections runner and automated testing features are very valuable because they save a lot of manual task time and help identify issues quickly during deployments. Postman Enterprise has improved collaborations, reduced API integration issues, and sped up the testing cycles in my organization. It provides a centralized platform for API development, documentation, and testing, which has improved consistency while reducing communication gaps between the frontend, backend, and QA teams. It has also helped catch issues earlier in the development cycle, improving overall release quality.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Previously, tasks that would take weeks or months can now be completed within days because of these AI tools."
"Cursor positively impacts my organization by providing great feasibility and better reliability, enabling faster development processes."
"Postman is a very important tool for API testing and it has helped our company."
"It's a great product, easy to use, and people like it."
"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"The solution has helped us make better APIs, and it is able to provide us with error reports if there are problems with the APIs, which has saved our developers time."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Collections, which perfectly suits a microservice factor, and the workspace is very useful because you can save configurations in their cloud so that you can access them from home or at the office by logging in to the same account without having to recreate them."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution."
 

Cons

"Sometimes Cursor does get stuck, which should be addressed, though the UI remains very good."
"Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"The main improvement needed is better integration with test management and other tools to allow a common dashboard for all testing metrics and details."
"If we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse."
"Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"Postman could be improved by providing options for performance testing of APIs."
"The management of endpoints' headers sometimes conflicts with APIs that require information in the body, leading to difficulties."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are using the free version that is available."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"We use the open-source version. They introduced a new licensing model where your company must subscribe to their services if you're using it for business purposes. However, I think they charge too much if you're only using the basic features. It limits what your organization can do if you're not a paying customer."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"This solution offers a free version."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
