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…

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

"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 tool's authentication mechanism is easy to implement. We had to define a few parameters."
"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."
"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"This is a fairly good tool and I would recommend it to others."
"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."
"The data you are sending and fetching from that endpoint is very clean and understandable; anyone can understand it."
"It is stable and does not lag."
"Postman helps to write pre-request scripts and make a collection out of each request. You don’t have to spend time writing or copying the requests. The solution lets you integrate multiple environments and their features. Either the tool’s pro or premium version lets you do the merge and pull request for the Git directly."
"Postman is a good, easy-to-use, and simple tool."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Postman Enterprise positively impacts my organization as it saves our time, eliminating the need to check it manually."
 

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."
"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"The version that we have is very old."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"Unfortunately, because of this, I have to search for another solution that supports SOAP APIs, because Postman doesn't."
"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."
"Postman needs to improve its support for a lot of integrations."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"I live in Turkey, so for me, the value of dollar currency is high...Postman can change its pricing policy and decrease the prices for Turkey."
"Something that could be better is the inclusion of another type of test, for example, end-to-end tests."
"Postman does not have a check-in balance. Essentially what I mean by that is if there is something that is already configured on a particular device, it just overrides it without checking whether you really want to override it or not."
 

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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"It is free."
"I am using the free option."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"This is an open source solution."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
