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…

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

"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"Its completeness feature for the large enterprises, in my case for the government, is the most valuable feature of this product."
"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."
"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"Postman is a good, easy-to-use, and simple tool."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"Postman Enterprise saves my time significantly."
"The data you are sending and fetching from that endpoint is very clean and understandable; anyone can understand it."
"Postman is a great solution and resource for those who are new to technical platforms in terms of API development and testing."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"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."
"This solution offers a free version."
 

Cons

"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
"We actually did reach out to the technical support and it was all right, not great. We didn't get the answers we needed."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"The version that we have is very old."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"They can lower the pricing because small teams cannot afford it."
"Postman does not have database validation available, which affects its scalability."
"It is not that easy to use and should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections. It is important to be careful when storing information to ensure files are secure and not lost."
"There are some limitations regarding large result sets in Postman. When dealing with several hundred records, accessing all the information can be challenging."
"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."
"We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman."
 

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."
"This is an open source solution."
"I use the tool's 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."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"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."
"We are using its free version."
"This solution offers a free version."
