Sagor Rana - PeerSpot reviewer
Front End Engineer at Upwork
Efficiently filters API data though experiences slower performance with larger projects
I would like to see better performance in larger projects. When dealing with large amounts of data, it can become slow, causing users to potentially abandon the application. Improving performance and ensuring the app runs smoothly would enhance user experience. Stability issues, where it sometimes breaks down, need to be addressed as well.
TS
API Integration Engineer at Airbnb
Automated testing optimizes API workflow and collaboration
Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier. Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Apollo GraphOS has significantly enhanced both the developer experience and product delivery timelines by offering a centralized approach to managing GraphQL schemas and services, helping reduce overhead and improve collaboration between frontend and backend teams."
"The most valuable features of Apollo GraphOS OS for me are its security and authentication processes."
"The most valuable features of Apollo GraphOS OS for me are its security and authentication processes."
"It is stable and reliable."
"I can use multiple environments, which allows me to create environment variables for each endpoint."
"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"The initial setup is simple."
 

Cons

"There’s room for improvement in schema collaboration tools, especially in large teams where multiple developers are working on overlapping parts of the API."
"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage. It sometimes takes longer than three seconds, which can affect loading times and lead to user dissatisfaction. I would like to see improved performance."
"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage."
"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
"The main improvement needed is better integration with test management and other tools to allow a common dashboard for all testing metrics and details."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"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."
"I have recently noticed that, for some reason, I am not able to import collections in JSON. It is weird because I was able to do it before. When you create a new collection and documentation, in tests, you usually have to click Save. If you don't click Save, your collections don't sync with other devices, which is something I don't like. It is not clear for the users in a shared workspace, and I usually forget to click Save and end up losing all the collections that I created. I create a lot of routes, and clicking Save all the time isn't efficient. Instead of clicking Save all the time, there should be an option to save everything in one go."
"To get this email reporting function, we have to integrate Postman with Newman. If the two are not integrated, we won't be getting all these things in one group."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
"I am using the free option."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"We are using its free version."
"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."
"It is free."
