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.

Offers pre-built packages for quick and easy onboarding of APIs but configuration is not that easy
The configuration is not that easy. It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either. There are certain things where the performance is not that great. When the traffic is huge, we see some lag in performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."
"I recommend Postman for all business types."
"The API testing features are valuable."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"No coding required."
"I can use multiple environments, which allows me to create environment variables for each endpoint."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It has something called packages. In that way, it's good because we have some pre-built packages. So, if you want to onboard different APIs, we can just add them to the package, and it's there."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys. The same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support."
"It is easy to work with ."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"This has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
 

Cons

"The reporting could be better. It should give you a detailed PDF report after you run a test."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"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."
"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
"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."
"We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB."
"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
"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."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"We are using its free version."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"Postman is a free service."
"I am using the free option."
"It is free."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
