Ravi Raushan Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at ValueMomentum
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.

Enables us to monitor API endpoints to ensure everything is running
I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens. Another thing I have found is that the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug. Finally, other than the Runscope documentation, I haven't seen too much elsewhere. I haven't seen a user community.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature."
"The user interface is very easy to learn and use, and it is a lightweight application."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"It is stable and does not lag."
"As we have the APIs scheduled, we use the notifications. We know the exact moment it is breaking something that might impact the customer system, that might result in a feature not working. We know "in advance" and we can fix it before the customer notices. It helps us to be more proactive."
"It helps us verify that production deployments do not break the features our customers use."
"It uses JavaScript which is easy."
"Pre-request Scripts and Post-response Scripts are very handy."
"The feature of automatically executing tests at a predefined time interval is great as we can be continuously testing our end-points before and after builds are deployed."
"We love the fact that we can have our API tests run on a schedule as often as we need. We also take advantage of being able to set up different environment settings so that we can use the same test in our production, integration, and QA environments, easily."
"This solution has improved our responsiveness to issues in both production and non-production environments."
"You can run it off the cloud and against different data centers. That's one of the plus points for most people for this product, as opposed to some other solutions."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, because of this, I have to search for another solution that supports SOAP APIs, because Postman doesn't."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"The management of endpoints' headers sometimes conflicts with APIs that require information in the body, leading to difficulties."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"Postman Enterprise could enhance performance for very large collections and complex workspaces."
"There are not many options for scalability."
"We would like to have an improved ability to share a set of tests across different environments (e.g., dev, stage, and prod)."
"File upload is a big part of the products that we test. The lack of file upload in Runscope requires us to still use UI (Selenium) automated tests for these scenarios."
"It would be nice to be able to generate API documentation."
"We definitely make use of historical test results, especially when tracking more difficult issues such as timeouts. Per our test frequency (15 minutes) we often need to go back further than the last 100 test runs. We are aware that results further back in time are available through the Runscope API, however, it would be great if the dashboard allowed easy access to a larger amount of historical data."
"Reliability. I would like to see more money invested in disaster recovery testing of the application. The product should be hosted across several AWS regions so if there are issues with an EC2 instance in a particular region, the whole application won't be affected. Once or twice a year there are issues with AWS that causes the reliability of the application to suffer."
"Navigation can be a little tricky when changing run environments and switching between test run results and editing the tests. It would be nice if you could switch the environment for all tests in a Bucket to run, rather than having to change each test environment."
"We would like the ability to configure Runscope behavior when a given test has its schedule modified. That is, in a non-production environment, we often need to pause a test (either by removing it from the schedule or adjusting its frequency) and this results in the automatic kick-off of this test in all other environments. We would like the ability to simply pause a test for a specific shared environment without causing additional tests to be started."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the tool's free version."
"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."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"It is free."
"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."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
"Pricing is fair."
"Having the different plans organized by team size, buckets, and requests per billing period works for our needs. Larger companies may need to take a close look at these elements."
