Learn what your peers think about Postman Enterprise. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: July 2025.
863,679 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Postman is a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Postman is a scalable product. We have two or three users using Postman in our organization.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward because we are IT professionals. 

On a scale from one to five, I would give the initial setup a 5.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am using the free option.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

ReadyAPI is very good, but you have to pay for it. Postman has a free option, and that is why I am using it. ReadyAPI is more user-friendly. For example, its features elaborate on what happened. You can right-click on the thing and add the features. In Postman, we have to find things from the inside and then get it into the project. The main difference with Postman is the ability to connect with different application tools integrated with Jira and database connectivity. 

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Postman a nine.

Automation solution that is stable, scalable and offers an easy to use Chrome extension
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."

An easy-to-use solution for API testing but it requires additional tools for UI testing
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
  • "UI testing needs to be added to the solution."

What is our primary use case?

Our company uses the solution for API testing. We have forty users who are trained in-house for various projects. 

What is most valuable?

The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time.  

The solution's integration is useful for Jenkins or other tools.

What needs improvement?

UI testing needs to be added to the solution. The solution does not compare UI testing and API testing or API testing and database testing. To check data, additional tools are required for the comparisons. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable for API testing but requires additional tools for UI testing or database testing. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not difficult and you can find everything on the internet. I rate setup an eight out of ten. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is open-source and free. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I also use Katalon Studio and Selenium because they allow for UI, database, and API testing together. For API test automation, Katalon Studio or Selenium are better than Postman. 

For just API testing, Postman is easy to learn and use.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a five out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
