Kalle Reponen - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Integration Architect at Visma
Offers simplicity, ease of customization, and visibility of integrations
One thing is that Frends keep the integration, and that is something I know that it's coming, like, a later version; that is something we will be currently missing. So the end-users could take an interest in use by themselves, with the release thing some result flow. That is the most wanted and requested feature for now. Another enhancement includes the monitoring part. It would be nice to have some sort of maybe mobile app on which we can see how integrations are running if there are some problems, and getting those alerts on the mobile would be really nice.
Ravi Raushan Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at ValueMomentum
Collaborative API workflows have improved testing speed and streamlined multi-team releases
The best features of Postman Enterprise are team collaborations, automated API testing, environment management, and API governance. The shared workspace and collections make collaborations very smooth across the teams, and automated testing and CI/CD integrations help catch issues early. I also appreciate the governance and security features because they help maintain API standards and consistency across large projects. API governance has helped my team maintain consistent API naming, request structures, and documentation standards across multiple services, reducing confusion between the teams and making onboarding easier. On the security side, environment variables and access control helped me avoid exposing sensitive data such as tokens or API keys, and they also made collaborations safer because different teams could access only the resources they needed. I found that the collections runner and automated testing features are very valuable because they save a lot of manual task time and help identify issues quickly during deployments. Postman Enterprise has improved collaborations, reduced API integration issues, and sped up the testing cycles in my organization. It provides a centralized platform for API development, documentation, and testing, which has improved consistency while reducing communication gaps between the frontend, backend, and QA teams. It has also helped catch issues earlier in the development cycle, improving overall release quality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the benefits is the speed of creating something new. Second, it's replacing the old integration quite fast. Then it is like the visibility of the integration and the possibility to see what is happening in the integration."
"The user-friendly interface for constructing integration solutions is also a notable benefit."
"The product has valuable features for version control."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution."
"The user interface is very easy to learn and use, and it is a lightweight application."
"No coding required."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."
"As a standalone option, it's a fantastic tool, but it's very hard for us to collaborate using the solution."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
 

Cons

"One of the primary areas for improvement is a more mobile-friendly interface for the control center."
"It is a new application and lacks some essential features compared to competitors."
"Another enhancement includes the monitoring part. It would be nice to have some sort of maybe mobile app on which we can see how integrations are running if there are some problems, and getting those alerts on the mobile would be really nice."
"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."
"The solution is quite complex and not so easy to understand at first glance."
"The product lacks a good console."
"I don't think there is any need for comments on improvements."
"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite fair."
"Recent changes in their pricing have removed this benefit, moving towards process-specific pricing."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"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."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"We are using its free version."
