Anagha Mahadik - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution simplifies web service testing with impressive speed and accessibility
It is very easy for me to use and I highly prefer it compared to SoapUI and other products for performing its job. It is more handy and faster. It has impacted us very nicely. Postman is used for free by us. I'm not sure if there might be a paid version for multiple users. It is a very good product used for development. It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers. I taught my business analyst to use it. I just showed them once, and it was easy for them to understand. For example, I gave them the URL and request format and asked them to test independently. They were able to use it on their own and do their testing as well. It was a good experience, especially for generally smart people, like those we usually hire in our company. It is pretty easy to explain, and learning it is not complex.

Facilitating enterprise-wide API governance and management
Some areas of SwaggerHub that could be improved include the interface between the code editor and the visual editor, the integration with private APIs, which currently requires an upgraded account. The scalability also needs enhancement, as it becomes flaky under increased load. Additionally, the versioning management could be improved to be on par with source code management tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Postman is very user-friendly and accessible even for those with minimal experience."
"It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product is easy to implement."
"It is stable and does not lag."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"SwaggerHub has significantly improved how my organization designs, documents, and manages APIs, centralizing API management so that all API definitions are stored in one location, which makes it easy for stakeholders, developers, QA, DevOps, and products to access the latest version."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"SwaggerHub plays a crucial role in order to bring teams and automate things faster and also reduce the man-hours and increase the work efficiency."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the best features of SwaggerHub is how it allows me to create APIs and control the evolution of APIs within an organization."
"One of the best features of SwaggerHub is how it allows me to create APIs and control the evolution of APIs within an organization."
 

Cons

"One of the features that is missing in Postman is reporting; it's very basic."
"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"There are definitely features that could be improved; for example, if you derive it from Ready API, maybe Postman can be a good contender and replicate some features such as more scripting and control over API calls."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
"In SwaggerHub, I appreciate that it is a powerful platform for API design and collaboration, but currently, the access control is somewhat limited."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
"Some areas of SwaggerHub that could be improved include the interface between the code editor and the visual editor, the integration with private APIs, which currently requires an upgraded account."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism. They support some comments, but it is really hard to manage those comments. We would like to use the full request. Therefore, we are now looking to integrate with repositories. It has integration with Bitbucket and GitHub, but we have some internal constraints, and we need to move some of the repositories to GitHub. Our source code is on-premise in Bitbucket, and it was a bit of a problem for us to integrate. Now we are transitioning our repositories to GitHub, and hopefully, we can enable the integration. This will probably solve the problem with the review and approval. Its customization should also be improved. There are limitations around the support for the developer portal. There should be more customization options for the website that you can use as a developer portal. Currently, it has only Swagger UI with minimal customization. You cannot actually add additional pages and documentation for explaining concepts and general things. That's why we have started to look around to see what other tools are doing. They should also allow tagging on the API. We would like to add some tagging on the API to reflect certain things. Currently, any metadata that you would like to have has to be a part of the spec. You cannot do anything else. It should also have support for Open API 3.1, which was released at the beginning of the year. It would be great to be able to switch to that."
"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"This is an open source solution."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"The tool is cheap."
"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."
