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.

Trust and reliability have been established with long-term usage and significant integration benefits
TIBCO Cloud API Management offers API management plus the ability to orchestrate all inbound and outbound API calls. When an API is exposed to the external system, it functions as a single integration. Behind the scenes, you can perform extensive API modeling, aggregation, and downstream systems can have more than one API and give the response back to a single API call. It has many features such as orchestration rule engine, which makes it quite good. TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support. Sales and support are strong areas, and I think it is very good. If they do not get the right support, then they should consider other options. The sales and support also provides cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it is very easy to use, and I also like the automation feature."
"Postman is easy to use and enables us to test all possible API testing scenarios."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"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."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"The product is easy to implement."
"The solution is stable."
"As a standalone option, it's a fantastic tool, but it's very hard for us to collaborate using the solution."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support."
"We previously didn’t offer any API services to customers, so this has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"TIBCO API gateway is one of the best products available around this space."
 

Cons

"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Running test cases using Postman is not as easy as with ReadyAPI."
"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."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"One area for improvement is that sometimes performance is slightly slow when we are handling large collections."
"The solution is quite complex and not so easy to understand at first glance."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"There are some areas for improvement in TIBCO Cloud API Management, especially regarding network protocols such as SMPP, SMTP, GVI, SVI, and Diameter which could show performance issues in terms of handling and connection management pooling efficiency."
"Stability is our concern because it's very complex to manage and handle."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Policy management has been a bit of a concern."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"Postman is a free service."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"This is an open source solution."
"I use the tool's free version."
"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."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
