Sagor Rana - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Anagha Mahadik - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution simplifies web service testing with impressive speed and accessibility
It is very easy for me to use and I highly prefer it compared to SoapUI and other products for performing its job. It is more handy and faster. It has impacted us very nicely. Postman is used for free by us. I'm not sure if there might be a paid version for multiple users. It is a very good product used for development. It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers. I taught my business analyst to use it. I just showed them once, and it was easy for them to understand. For example, I gave them the URL and request format and asked them to test independently. They were able to use it on their own and do their testing as well. It was a good experience, especially for generally smart people, like those we usually hire in our company. It is pretty easy to explain, and learning it is not complex.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The product is easy to implement."
"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 most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"Postman helps reduce almost 90% of the manual effort in processes that we feel could take a lot of manual work."
"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."
"Postman is one of the easiest tools; I have not seen anybody complaining because it's just one Google search away."
"I can use multiple environments, which allows me to create environment variables for each endpoint."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are definitely features that could be improved; for example, if you derive it from Ready API, maybe Postman can be a good contender and replicate some features such as more scripting and control over API calls."
"Could be more user friendly."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
"The performance needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This is an open source solution."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"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."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"I use the tool's free version."
