SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS) and Postman compete in the integration and API testing market. SEEBURGER shows strength in integration system capabilities, while Postman leads in user-friendly API testing.
Features: SEEBURGER BIS offers a comprehensive integration platform suitable for diverse integration needs due to its flexibility with protocols, IT platform compatibility, and extensive automation capabilities. It is appreciated for partner connectivity, process customization, and scalability. Postman excels as an API development tool, particularly valued for its ease of use, data-driven automation, and strong validation features which facilitate API testing processes.
Room for Improvement: SEEBURGER BIS users suggest improvements in interface simplicity, error monitoring, and cloud integration, with concerns around frequent service updates and complex setup processes. Postman could enhance its version management and better integration with comprehensive testing suites. There are also suggestions for simplifying its interface and extending support for SOAP APIs.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: SEEBURGER BIS is primarily on-premises, offering strong but occasionally varied support with needs for localized services. It’s valued for expertise despite the complexity of the setup. Postman supports multiple deployment options, noted for straightforward setup and fast customer service resolution, though immediate support could be improved.
Pricing and ROI: SEEBURGER's pricing is seen as competitive but complex, with users desiring a more flexible cost model. However, the ROI is positive due to automation and scalability. Postman offers a free version beneficial for small-scale use, with moderate licensing costs for upgraded features. Its free version provides a strong ROI, especially for API testing.
A minimum of 50% time is saved when comparing manual to automation.
I appreciate the ease of using Postman, especially its desktop version, due to the features it offers such as cookie management and environment synchronization.

Maybe Postman can be a good contender and replicate some features such as more scripting and control over API calls.
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.
This requires restarting the application to update the IP address, which is an issue from the SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite vendor side.
Acquiring training documents on a public domain for SEEBURGER is challenging.
Postman is open-source, so the cost is minimal compared to commercial platforms.
Postman is much cheaper than the other tools.

Postman's collaboration tools, such as version control and team workspaces, are particularly useful when working with teams of three to four people.
It has helped significantly since it is easy; the development team and QA team all use it, enabling us to automate almost 70% of our APIs using Postman.
The desktop version's features like cookie management, environment compatibility, security settings, proxy integration, and data synchronization add significant value.
It comes pre-loaded with solutions, meaning it is ready to use without requiring significant development.
There is no disturbance in the connections, and it is very clear to check the connection flow with applicable queues.
Postman's Tools Support Every Stage of the API Lifecycle. Through design, testing and full production, Postman is there for faster, easier API development - without the chaos.
