Authentication mechanism is easy to implement but improvement is needed in documentation
For API security purposes, we use the tool to host all our APIs. This allows us to take advantage of the security features provided by the platform. With the solution, we can implement rules such as rate limiting and restricting the number of API calls for each user. It acts as a secure gateway…

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

"The interface is good, and the policies that it uses as opposed to the features that it has in terms of security and the throughput management and those aspects are intuitive."
"The tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"Its completeness feature for the large enterprises, in my case for the government, is the most valuable feature of this product."
"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"It is nice to have different workspaces. You have your personal workspace, and then you have a team workspace. In general, I like its UI. It is quite cool."
"Postman is very easy to use even for a person who doesn't have much knowledge or technical skills."
"It is beneficial to have flexibility, especially with API chaining."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The best thing about Postman is it was very easy to use, and we could test APIs and get immediate results."
 

Cons

"The version that we have is very old."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"We actually did reach out to the technical support and it was all right, not great. We didn't get the answers we needed."
"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."
"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections. It is important to be careful when storing information to ensure files are secure and not lost."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"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."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"When you try to code something and put it in the code, it's not useful."
"We need better version compatibility."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For us, the pricing and licensing policies were for an on-premise installation with a fixed cost structure, that matched our budgeting policies."
"This is an open source solution."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"Postman is a free service."
