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."
"The product has valuable features for version control."
"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 solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
"The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"Postman Enterprise saves my time significantly."
"Postman is a very important tool for API testing and it has helped our company."
"It definitely increases the quality of our deliveries because we are able to test our APIs before moving them to production."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"Postman is a good tool for completing a sanity check or smoke test of REST APIs."
"As a standalone option, it's a fantastic tool, but it's very hard for us to collaborate using the solution."
 

Cons

"It is a new application and lacks some essential features compared to competitors."
"Logging should be better."
"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."
"The product lacks a good console."
"Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman."
"Unfortunately, because of this, I have to search for another solution that supports SOAP APIs, because Postman doesn't."
"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."
"Something that could be better is the inclusion of another type of test, for example, end-to-end tests."
"They should provide more specific documentation on configuration."
"The management of endpoints' headers sometimes conflicts with APIs that require information in the body, leading to difficulties."
"Initially, the setup is a little bit complex. Whenever a user comes to Postman for the first time, it is just a bit complex since they do not know where to start and what is the structure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Recent changes in their pricing have removed this benefit, moving towards process-specific pricing."
"The pricing is quite fair."
"It is free."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"I use the tool's free version."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"This is an open source solution."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
