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.

Centralized API documentation has supported versioned collaboration across our teams
We have tried automated code generation several times, and I think maybe some people are still using it somewhere, but it is not something that we do as a consolidated practice. At some point, we were missing some tagging of the APIs, and we could not do that. We asked the provider, but I do not believe they added that kind of support. However, we somehow gave up a bit because we are now in the process of moving to different platforms ourselves, so most likely we are not going to invest in improving this integration with SwaggerHub or how we are using it. We will just keep it going for the platform we are leaving, and then because our focus is in a different place, we are not looking to change or do other things. I am not using SwaggerHub's OpenAI management feature. We are not looking much at what they added new. We got some notification that they added things, but we have so many other things to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is Collections, which perfectly suits a microservice factor, and the workspace is very useful because you can save configurations in their cloud so that you can access them from home or at the office by logging in to the same account without having to recreate them."
"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."
"Postman is a good tool for completing a sanity check or smoke test of REST APIs."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"Good at simulating the API code from a fictitious client application to check API behavior."
"In my opinion, there is no room for improvement for Postman Enterprise because pretty much what is expected from Postman Enterprise for me is working fine and it is really useful."
"I recommend Postman for all business types."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"Normally, they publish their APIs on SwaggerHub for seamless integration with SmartBear and ReadyAPI, which allows us to perform detailed end-to-end automation testing."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"SwaggerHub is helping with team collaboration, as all the people now know the link, they just go there and get the information they need, and it is really a documentation tool for sharing documentation information about the API we support."
"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"One of the best features of SwaggerHub is how it allows me to create APIs and control the evolution of APIs within an organization."
"Since I started using SwaggerHub, it has had a positive impact on our organization due to better collaboration between developers and the quality assurance team, and it has reduced errors because of its automated validation."
"The best feature that SwaggerHub offers is the collaboration capability that helps us the most across all of our teams, as we have a single API infrastructure but several teams working in different areas of these APIs."
 

Cons

"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
"One area for improvement is that sometimes performance is slightly slow when we are handling large collections."
"The main improvement needed is better integration with test management and other tools to allow a common dashboard for all testing metrics and details."
"I have not seen much use of Postman Enterprise for API governance capabilities in maintaining compliance and consistency within my organization up until now."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"The customization and doc formatting options for documentation pages are restricted in SwaggerHub."
"In SwaggerHub, I appreciate that it is a powerful platform for API design and collaboration, but currently, the access control is somewhat limited."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism."
"Some areas of SwaggerHub that could be improved include the interface between the code editor and the visual editor, the integration with private APIs, which currently requires an upgraded account."
"One of the most difficult things about SwaggerHub is the user interface and its usability, as it can feel quite complex and require too many clicks for simple actions."
"The review process should be improved. There seem to be some gaps, at least for us, for the editing part because we would like to have a full request review mechanism. They support some comments, but it is really hard to manage those comments. We would like to use the full request. Therefore, we are now looking to integrate with repositories. It has integration with Bitbucket and GitHub, but we have some internal constraints, and we need to move some of the repositories to GitHub. Our source code is on-premise in Bitbucket, and it was a bit of a problem for us to integrate. Now we are transitioning our repositories to GitHub, and hopefully, we can enable the integration. This will probably solve the problem with the review and approval. Its customization should also be improved. There are limitations around the support for the developer portal. There should be more customization options for the website that you can use as a developer portal. Currently, it has only Swagger UI with minimal customization. You cannot actually add additional pages and documentation for explaining concepts and general things. That's why we have started to look around to see what other tools are doing. They should also allow tagging on the API. We would like to add some tagging on the API to reflect certain things. Currently, any metadata that you would like to have has to be a part of the spec. You cannot do anything else. It should also have support for Open API 3.1, which was released at the beginning of the year. It would be great to be able to switch to that."
"The scalability aspect of SwaggerHub can be improved. It becomes a bit unreliable when the load is increased and isn't up to par with expectations for scalability."
"At some point, we were missing some tagging of the APIs, and we could not do that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"It is free."
"We are using its free version."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"This solution offers a free version."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"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 tool is cheap."
"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."
