Lauri Vanhanen - PeerSpot reviewer
Development Manager at ELO
Integration platform has simplified logistics workflows and has streamlined complex order handling
The best aspect is that it is very easy to use. The UI is very intuitive, and you can learn it very quickly because the basic principles are straightforward and easy to search. Frends has a great UI, but the UI is missing role-based permissions. You can filter your integrations by roles and add several users to roles, but in the UI, the functionality for this kind of management feature is not optimal. User management or user role management could be improved.
RituRaj - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized collaboration has transformed API testing and documentation across multiple teams
In terms of improvement, the UI can sometimes feel heavy for larger collections in the workspaces. Additionally, performance may slow down with complex API projects, and pricing can be expensive for smaller teams. However, it is quite suitable for bigger teams. Other areas for improvement include better reporting and analytics dashboards, and more advanced native test environment features could enhance workflow, with smoother offline support and sync handling. Additionally, better performance for very large collections would be helpful, along with more intuitive navigation for enterprise-scale workspaces, stronger reporting analytics, easier management of permissions across large teams, and more flexible automation and testing report options would be beneficial. Small usability and performance improvements would make Postman Enterprise even more efficient for larger organizations. Postman Enterprise needs better performance optimization for large enterprises, more detailed analytics user reporting, improved API governance and audit visibility, simpler permissions and access control management, faster sync and loading times for larger collections, and more advanced built-in testing and reporting capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 user-friendly interface for constructing integration solutions is also a notable benefit."
"The product has valuable features for version control."
"The best aspect is that it is very easy to use."
"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"The variables part is good. We can easily define the variables and we don't have to manually do a change every time, it gets automatically updated."
"I like that it is very easy to use, and I also like the automation feature."
"We prefer Postman as it is the most usable solution; it's really accessible."
"Postman Enterprise positively impacts my organization as it saves our time, eliminating the need to check it manually."
"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."
"It's user-friendly and free, and anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"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."
 

Cons

"It is a new application and lacks some essential features compared to competitors."
"Logging should be better."
"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."
"One of the primary areas for improvement is a more mobile-friendly interface for the control center."
"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 solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"Version management could be simplified."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"Scalability-wise, it can be improved a little bit. They can include more options to do the performance testing or rate testing so that we can query or push a lot of requests to our APIs."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"The performance needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Recent changes in their pricing have removed this benefit, moving towards process-specific pricing."
"The pricing is quite fair."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"I am using the free option."
"I use the tool's free version."
"We are using its free version."
"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
