Featured Reviews

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

"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."
"The best aspect is that it is very easy to use."
"Postman is easy to use and enables us to test all possible API testing scenarios."
"This product deserves an eight out of ten."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"The solution is open-source and does the work required for day-to-day API testing activities."
"I think out of six working days, we are able to save at least one day using Postman Enterprise for collaboration and sharing."
"In my opinion, there is no room for improvement for Postman Enterprise because pretty much what is expected from Postman Enterprise for me is working fine and it is really useful."
 

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."
"Logging should be better."
"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 can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"Could be more user friendly."
"They can lower the pricing because small teams cannot afford it."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite fair."
"Recent changes in their pricing have removed this benefit, moving towards process-specific pricing."
"Postman is a free service."
"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
"I use the tool's free version."
"I am using the free option."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"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 has moderate pricing."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
