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

"The solution is open-source and does the work required for day-to-day API testing activities."
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"The solution is stable."
"This is a fairly good tool and I would recommend it to others."
"This solution offers a free version."
"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"The API testing features are valuable."
"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."
"We haven't had any issues with it and it's worked well for a very long time for our company."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable, and with regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys, so the same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"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."
"It is easy to work with but it is not stable."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
 

Cons

"I think they could make version management easier and release it when it comes to container-based or Docker-based architecture."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"Initially, the setup is a little bit complex"
"Version management could be simplified."
"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
"They can lower the pricing because small teams cannot afford it."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"Stability is our concern because it's very complex to manage and handle."
"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."
"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

"This solution offers a free version."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"Postman is a free service."

"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"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."
