Ravi Raushan Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at ValueMomentum
Collaborative API workflows have improved testing speed and streamlined multi-team releases
The best features of Postman Enterprise are team collaborations, automated API testing, environment management, and API governance. The shared workspace and collections make collaborations very smooth across the teams, and automated testing and CI/CD integrations help catch issues early. I also appreciate the governance and security features because they help maintain API standards and consistency across large projects. API governance has helped my team maintain consistent API naming, request structures, and documentation standards across multiple services, reducing confusion between the teams and making onboarding easier. On the security side, environment variables and access control helped me avoid exposing sensitive data such as tokens or API keys, and they also made collaborations safer because different teams could access only the resources they needed. I found that the collections runner and automated testing features are very valuable because they save a lot of manual task time and help identify issues quickly during deployments. Postman Enterprise has improved collaborations, reduced API integration issues, and sped up the testing cycles in my organization. It provides a centralized platform for API development, documentation, and testing, which has improved consistency while reducing communication gaps between the frontend, backend, and QA teams. It has also helped catch issues earlier in the development cycle, improving overall release quality.
Manish Indupuri - PeerSpot reviewer
senior DevOps engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Has streamlined API documentation and integration workflows across cross-functional teams
Documenting SwaggerHub has a standard and consistent structure of API definitions, and it automatically generates interactive documentation which helps the developers to understand everything. There are certain areas where SwaggerHub can go beyond here as formatting options for documentation pages are restricted, and the import and export options of API collections are complex in SwaggerHub. It provides various collaboration tools where we can work and do it. The strong validation against the API maintains conformity and reduces errors. That part is very great in SwaggerHub. Overall, scalability and stability-wise, it varies high compared to the competitors, but there are still certain areas where competitors are providing various customizations. SwaggerHub can understand those aspects and implement them as well. The complex import and export of API calls and collaborations can be challenging in SwaggerHub. If they can make it easier for us, that would be great. Their performance is degraded if there is too much load on the API. The customization and doc formatting options for documentation pages are restricted in SwaggerHub. A few of my teammates have complained that they find the UI unintuitive where it requires multiple clicks for simple tasks. SwaggerHub is a great tool, but these limitations can be addressed to make things better and easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Postman is easy to use and enables us to test all possible API testing scenarios."
"Among the valuable features are data-driven automation response validation testing of the performance of APIs."
"Postman is a very important tool for API testing and it has helped our company."
"The solution is a great tool for managing APIs and should be used by developers and QA teams."
"Overall rating: Ten out of ten."
"This solution offers a free version."
"It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"It is quite a useful tool. It is quite good with the validation of the spec. It works quite well in terms of errors and conformity to the OpenAPI standard. It is better than Visual Studio Code in terms of editing."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"Normally, they publish their APIs on SwaggerHub for seamless integration with SmartBear and ReadyAPI, which allows us to perform detailed end-to-end automation testing."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"Since I started using SwaggerHub, it has had a positive impact on our organization due to better collaboration between developers and the quality assurance team, and it has reduced errors because of its automated validation."
"One of the best features of SwaggerHub is how it allows me to create APIs and control the evolution of APIs within an organization."
"The scalability is endless."
 

Cons

"Postman does not have a check-in balance. Essentially what I mean by that is if there is something that is already configured on a particular device, it just overrides it without checking whether you really want to override it or not."
"I have not seen much use of Postman Enterprise for API governance capabilities in maintaining compliance and consistency within my organization up until now."
"They can lower the pricing because small teams cannot afford it."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"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."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"If you have knowledge of JavaScript, the initial setup is easy and straightforward. If not, it may take some time to learn about JavaScript before starting the implementation."
"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."
"In SwaggerHub, I appreciate that it is a powerful platform for API design and collaboration, but currently, the access control is somewhat limited."
"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."
"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice."
"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."
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
"The customization and doc formatting options for documentation pages are restricted in SwaggerHub."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free option."
"I use the tool's free version."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"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."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"This is an open source solution."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"The tool is cheap."
"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."
