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.

Trust and reliability have been established with long-term usage and significant integration benefits
TIBCO Cloud API Management offers API management plus the ability to orchestrate all inbound and outbound API calls. When an API is exposed to the external system, it functions as a single integration. Behind the scenes, you can perform extensive API modeling, aggregation, and downstream systems can have more than one API and give the response back to a single API call. It has many features such as orchestration rule engine, which makes it quite good. TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support. Sales and support are strong areas, and I think it is very good. If they do not get the right support, then they should consider other options. The sales and support also provides cost optimization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate Postman as a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs."
"Postman is better than SoapUI when it comes to usability."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The user interface is very easy to learn and use, and it is a lightweight application."
"Postman is a good tool for completing a sanity check or smoke test of REST APIs."
"Postman Enterprise is a strong enterprise-grade API collaboration and testing platform that significantly improves API development workflows, automation, and team coordination."
"Postman Enterprise has impacted our organization positively because on a day-to-day basis, when we are developing APIs for different services, we have to validate the different APIs, and when we design this, we should not impact the old ones, therefore we have these collections useful in Postman Enterprise that we can share across team members so they can validate if anything is wrong in the existing when we are trying to push the new code, which helps us avoid recreating it and saves time and avoids errors, especially when we are debugging issues."
"TIBCO API gateway is one of the best products available around this space."
"The reason why we selected the solution originally was because of its ability to have a gateway both on-premise and in the cloud. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"The solution is a good general API manager. They have a few propriety features but are offering items that are standard in the industry as well."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"We haven't had any issues with it and it's worked well for a very long time for our company."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"We previously didn’t offer any API services to customers, so this has provided a new stream of traffic and exposure of our catalogue beyond the normal web store offering."
 

Cons

"I have not seen much use of Postman Enterprise for API governance capabilities in maintaining compliance and consistency within my organization up until now."
"One potential improvement for Postman Enterprise could be incorporating AI features into its advanced options."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"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."
"Something that could be better is the inclusion of another type of test, for example, end-to-end tests."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"The management of endpoints' headers sometimes conflicts with APIs that require information in the body, leading to difficulties."
"Running test cases using Postman is not as easy as with ReadyAPI."
"There are some areas for improvement in TIBCO Cloud API Management, especially regarding network protocols such as SMPP, SMTP, GVI, SVI, and Diameter which could show performance issues in terms of handling and connection management pooling efficiency."
"The way agile life cycle is working needs improvement. I also want to see more support for open API standards. I want to see some improvement on the protocol transformation. That is quite missing now. These are the three main issues."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"The management console of API and customers' applications are not the most intuitive."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"The security needs improvement, specifically, propagation of security to an API. Calling other APIs is something that is missing in the product and that makes us think about going to a competitor."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"The pricing could be improved. It's too expensive right now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is free."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"We are using its free version."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I am using the free option."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"Its price is pretty reasonable. There are some lightweight API options available in the market, but given the feature set that TIBCO provides, its price is really reasonable."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
