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…

Automated testing optimizes API workflow and collaboration
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. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier. Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I have enjoyed using parameters and setting parameters while powering directly."
"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 is very user-friendly and accessible even for those with minimal experience."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
 

Cons

"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"To get this email reporting function, we have to integrate Postman with Newman. If the two are not integrated, we won't be getting all these things in one group."
"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"The main improvement needed is better integration with test management and other tools to allow a common dashboard for all testing metrics and details."
"The reporting could be better. It should give you a detailed PDF report after you run a test."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
 

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."
"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."
"It is free."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"We are using its free version."
