Featured Reviews

Kalle Reponen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers simplicity, ease of customization, and visibility of integrations
One thing is that Frends keep the integration, and that is something I know that it's coming, like, a later version; that is something we will be currently missing. So the end-users could take an interest in use by themselves, with the release thing some result flow. That is the most wanted and requested feature for now. Another enhancement includes the monitoring part. It would be nice to have some sort of maybe mobile app on which we can see how integrations are running if there are some problems, and getting those alerts on the mobile would be really nice.
Anagha Mahadik - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution simplifies web service testing with impressive speed and accessibility
It is very easy for me to use and I highly prefer it compared to SoapUI and other products for performing its job. It is more handy and faster. It has impacted us very nicely. Postman is used for free by us. I'm not sure if there might be a paid version for multiple users. It is a very good product used for development. It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers. I taught my business analyst to use it. I just showed them once, and it was easy for them to understand. For example, I gave them the URL and request format and asked them to test independently. They were able to use it on their own and do their testing as well. It was a good experience, especially for generally smart people, like those we usually hire in our company. It is pretty easy to explain, and learning it is not complex.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user-friendly interface for constructing integration solutions is also a notable benefit."
"One of the benefits is the speed of creating something new. Second, it's replacing the old integration quite fast. Then it is like the visibility of the integration and the possibility to see what is happening in the integration."
"The product has valuable features for version control."
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"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."
 

Cons

"Another enhancement includes the monitoring part. It would be nice to have some sort of maybe mobile app on which we can see how integrations are running if there are some problems, and getting those alerts on the mobile would be really nice."
"It is a new application and lacks some essential features compared to competitors."
"One of the primary areas for improvement is a more mobile-friendly interface for the control center."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"We do the implementation of Postman and give support. We had to use two engineers for the implementation, one senior and one junior for the process."
"Could be more user friendly."
"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite fair."
"Recent changes in their pricing have removed this benefit, moving towards process-specific pricing."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"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."
"Postman is a free service."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
