Authentication mechanism is easy to implement but improvement is needed in documentation
For API security purposes, we use the tool to host all our APIs. This allows us to take advantage of the security features provided by the platform. With the solution, we can implement rules such as rate limiting and restricting the number of API calls for each user. It acts as a secure gateway…

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

"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"The interface is good, and the policies that it uses as opposed to the features that it has in terms of security and the throughput management and those aspects are intuitive."
"Its completeness feature for the large enterprises, in my case for the government, is the most valuable feature of this product."
"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"The product is easy to implement."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"We prefer Postman as it is the most usable solution; it's really accessible."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"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."
"Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."
"It's a great product, easy to use, and people like it."
"It's user-friendly and free, and anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
 

Cons

"The version that we have is very old."
"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"We actually did reach out to the technical support and it was all right, not great. We didn't get the answers we needed."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"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."
"When you try to code something and put it in the code, it's not useful."
"When you create a new collection and documentation, in tests, you usually have to click Save. If you don't click Save, your collections don't sync with other devices, which is something I don't like."
"Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"One potential improvement for Postman Enterprise could be incorporating AI features into its advanced options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For us, the pricing and licensing policies were for an on-premise installation with a fixed cost structure, that matched our budgeting policies."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"It is free."
"Postman is a free service."
"I use the tool's free version."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"This is an open source solution."
