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.

Everything can be visibly managed, scheduling and state management features are pretty good
We've integrated it with source control management tools like GitLab and Bitbucket. The scheduling and state management features are pretty good using Spacelift. It integrates with tools like Terraform and Kubernetes for policies, but we haven't worked on the compliance part. Spacelift streamlines collaboration among our development and operations teams. We use it for CI/CD as well. It can handle automation strategies. Whenever you put your YAML files and integrate them with Spacelift, it will scan the code and show where you need to make changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs."
"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."
"Postman helps reduce almost 90% of the manual effort in processes that we feel could take a lot of manual work."
"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."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The user-interface is very good."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"A valuable feature of Spacelift is that you can attach labels, and it is a modernized tool for infrastructure deployments. It is pull request-based, and you can see all the Terraform plan and apply logs on the pull request itself, which is not available across any other CI/CD tools."
"Spacelift is like an extension of Terraform, where everything can be visibly managed."
"Knowing the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) makes it easier to use without issues."
"One key feature is the Spacelift policies, which we can attach to deployments to ensure compliance with our standards."
"I appreciate that I just have to connect to my AWS account with my credentials, and Spacelift handles the rest."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"We do the implementation of Postman and give support. We had to use two engineers for the implementation, one senior and one junior for the process."
"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."
"I don't think there is any need for comments on improvements."
"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."
"If we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse. So developing environment compatibility would make it better."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"In the free version, there's no straightforward way to be notified once a deployment is finished."
"Spacelift currently lacks features that can help with complex type deployments and coordination for major deployments."
"If you are a small enterprise organization, below 500 people, I would not recommend it."
"Synchronization can be difficult when using older and newer versions with Kubernetes and HashiCorp."
"The self-hosted version does not have a lot of features compared to the SaaS version, such as cloud integrations for Azure and GCP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"I am using the free option."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"This is an open source solution."
"It is a bit expensive product."
