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…

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

"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."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"It allowed us to publish and replace pre-essential transactions in one place, with a uniformity in terms of control and policies."
"Its completeness feature for the large enterprises, in my case for the government, is the most valuable feature of this product."
"The best thing about Postman is it was very easy to use, and we could test APIs and get immediate results."
"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."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"Postman Enterprise saves my time significantly."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing."
"This is an easy solution to manage."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
 

Cons

"We actually did reach out to the technical support and it was all right, not great. We didn't get the answers we needed."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"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."
"We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB."
"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."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"It is not that easy to use and should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
 

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."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"Postman is a free service."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
