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

"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."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"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 tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"Postman Enterprise positively impacts my organization as it saves our time, eliminating the need to check it manually."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"The solution is a great tool for managing APIs and should be used by developers and QA teams."
"Postman has helped with storing data, sharing test cases, and reporting, making it much easier to share test cases with teammates and automatically handle raw data and new structures or formats, which makes my life much easier."
"Overall rating: Ten out of ten."
"I rate Postman as a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"The version that we have is very old."
"We actually did reach out to the technical support and it was all right, not great. We didn't get the answers we needed."
"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."
"When you try to code something and put it in the code, it's not useful."
"I would like to see improvements in the maintenance of the scripts and their collections. It is really painful that the user cannot drag and drop. It was also painful to create the standard suite of operations for the product. I am not sure if this is improved in the tool’s latest versions. The maintenance of the complex scenarios prompted us to use the solution only for unit testing. In the future, we may switch to the k6 framework."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
"In Postman the APIs need to be set up manually."
"Could be more user friendly."
"They can lower the pricing because small teams cannot afford it."
"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."
 

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."
"We are using its free version."
"I am using the free option."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"This is an open source solution."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"This solution offers a free version."
