Featured Reviews

Lauri Vanhanen - PeerSpot reviewer
Development Manager at ELO
Integration platform has simplified logistics workflows and has streamlined complex order handling
The best aspect is that it is very easy to use. The UI is very intuitive, and you can learn it very quickly because the basic principles are straightforward and easy to search. Frends has a great UI, but the UI is missing role-based permissions. You can filter your integrations by roles and add several users to roles, but in the UI, the functionality for this kind of management feature is not optimal. User management or user role management could be improved.

Centralized collaboration has transformed API testing and documentation across multiple teams
In terms of improvement, the UI can sometimes feel heavy for larger collections in the workspaces. Additionally, performance may slow down with complex API projects, and pricing can be expensive for smaller teams. However, it is quite suitable for bigger teams. Other areas for improvement include better reporting and analytics dashboards, and more advanced native test environment features could enhance workflow, with smoother offline support and sync handling. Additionally, better performance for very large collections would be helpful, along with more intuitive navigation for enterprise-scale workspaces, stronger reporting analytics, easier management of permissions across large teams, and more flexible automation and testing report options would be beneficial. Small usability and performance improvements would make Postman Enterprise even more efficient for larger organizations. Postman Enterprise needs better performance optimization for large enterprises, more detailed analytics user reporting, improved API governance and audit visibility, simpler permissions and access control management, faster sync and loading times for larger collections, and more advanced built-in testing and reporting capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user-friendly interface for constructing integration solutions is also a notable benefit."
"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 best aspect is that it is very easy to use."
"The product has valuable features for version control."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"This product deserves an eight out of ten."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution."
"It's a great product, easy to use, and people like it."
"The solution is simple to use and you can easily store your projects."
"This solution offers a free version."
"Good at simulating the API code from a fictitious client application to check API behavior."
 

Cons

"One of the primary areas for improvement is a more mobile-friendly interface for the control center."
"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."
"It is a new application and lacks some essential features compared to competitors."
"Logging should be better."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"The management of endpoints' headers sometimes conflicts with APIs that require information in the body, leading to difficulties."
"The solution is quite complex and not so easy to understand at first glance."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"There are some limitations regarding large result sets in Postman. When dealing with several hundred records, accessing all the information can be challenging."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"Postman does not have database validation available, which affects its scalability."
"I would like that if you click on one of the fields you should be able to see the entire row of fields, names, and values."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite fair."
"Recent changes in their pricing have removed this benefit, moving towards process-specific pricing."
"We are using its free version."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy 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."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"Postman is a free service."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"This is an open source solution."
"I use the tool's free version."
