Find out in this report how the two AI Software Development solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
A minimum of 50% time is saved when comparing manual to automation.
My clients save time and money, and we are generally about twice as fast with AI-enabled software development.
The scope of work has increased a lot, but we managed to keep up without hiring due to the power of these AI-powered coding agents like Windsurf and Cursor.
It has saved a substantial amount of time compared to previous methods, with a 25% time reduction in code generation and completion of projects.
I appreciate the ease of using Postman, especially its desktop version, due to the features it offers such as cookie management and environment synchronization.
There is a lot of support available through forums and user groups, which has been sufficient for me.
Technical issues are handled very well when they arise.
The release notes are really helpful.
It is mentioned on their website that you need to mail customer support to contact them.
Postman does not have database validation available, which affects its scalability.
This solution is scalable.
Windsurf can ensure that multiple users can work simultaneously on a single product.
I believe it can handle growth effectively as our team expands or projects get bigger because it keeps the context of the codebase in a specialized, cached way.
Windsurf's scalability is good, as it can handle larger projects or more users if needed.
I rate it ten out of ten for stability.
I have not experienced any issues or downtimes.
During the development phase, you will face issues, but once it goes to production, you won't face such issues.
Windsurf is currently stable for me; I have not experienced any crashes or issues.
I have not encountered any crashes or reliability issues.
It is highly reliable.
If that integrates with an IDE, it will be a game changer.
One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords.
If they can enhance it to have a database kind of validation like we have in ReadyAPI, it would be better.
Enhancing the reliability of the cascade agent for large and complex codebases, ensuring it understands projects thoroughly, and providing safer multi-file edits would make Windsurf a significantly stronger tool.
I would rather look for the inclusion of pull request reviews or a kind of a TRD or technical requirement general documentation generation, or system diagram generation directly from the codebase in Windsurf itself.
There needs to be a better way to find new models instead of going to the release notes; the model picker should highlight the newer beta or free models more prominently.
Postman's pricing model includes a basic free version, which is favorable given the Professional enterprise options offered.
Postman is open-source, so the cost is minimal compared to commercial platforms.
Postman is much cheaper than the other tools.
It is very cheap compared to other tools in the market because 80% of the time, we are happy with their free model capabilities.
If it were a bit less, it would be more useful for us to save money since we are a startup.
I did not incur setup costs.
The desktop version's features like cookie management, environment compatibility, security settings, proxy integration, and data synchronization add significant value.
It's easy to navigate because tons of documentation and examples are available.
Postman's collaboration tools, such as version control and team workspaces, are particularly useful when working with teams of three to four people.
We were able to build a product from scratch, which would have taken at least two to three weeks. With Windsurf helping me build it in a week, the time savings are substantial.
Windsurf's understanding of my Angular project context is better than basic auto-complete and less IntelliSense options because it understands what version of Angular I am using and what features I require.
If there are any exceptions, it automatically finds out what the exact issue is and provides the solution and fixes it.
