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."
"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"Its completeness feature for the large enterprises, in my case for the government, is the most valuable feature of this product."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"Postman is better than SoapUI when it comes to usability."
"The output has been very good; there are lots of good features, its initial setup is easy depending on the operating system, it is stable and reliable, and the product is not expensive although there is also the option for open-source so it can be free to use."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The product is easy to implement."
"Postman helps reduce almost 90% of the manual effort in processes that we feel could take a lot of manual work."
"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."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
 

Cons

"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 product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
"The version that we have is very old."
"Postman Enterprise could enhance performance for very large collections and complex workspaces."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"I would like that if you click on one of the fields you should be able to see the entire row of fields, names, and values."
"I think they could make version management easier and release it when it comes to container-based or Docker-based architecture."
"The main improvement needed is better integration with test management and other tools to allow a common dashboard for all testing metrics and details."
"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."
 

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 a free service."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"This solution offers a free version."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"I am using the free option."
"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."
