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

"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers."
"Postman is a good tool for completing a sanity check or smoke test of REST APIs."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs."
"As a standalone option, it's a fantastic tool, but it's very hard for us to collaborate using the solution."
"Postman is a very important tool for API testing and it has helped our company."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"I can use multiple environments, which allows me to create environment variables for each endpoint."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of Mashery is its stability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to have different packages based on the API keys, so the same core system can have different packages based on different environments."
"It is easy to work with but it is not stable."
"We can completely manage the APIs at the org level and BU (business unit) level."
"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."
"The control that we have and the security features are very valuable, and with regard to API implementation or API orchestration, it works very well in the cloud because as soon as you create an API with one click, you can actually expose your APIs."
"The platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, because of this, I have to search for another solution that supports SOAP APIs, because Postman doesn't."
"Postman does not have database validation available, which affects its scalability."
"It is not that easy to use and should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"Could be more user friendly."
"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"Scalability-wise, it can be improved a little bit. They can include more options to do the performance testing or rate testing so that we can query or push a lot of requests to our APIs."
"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."
"Stability is our concern because it's very complex to manage and handle."
"They can fix some stability issues and probably make it more user-friendly so that not only an IT savvy person but an end-user can also easily navigate through this solution."
"Monetization is not that great in API management. You need customization. Improvements are needed with sandbox local as well as with monetization. Those features are missing."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"I'd like to see TIBCO integrate authentication and security features into Mashery."
"It's not that user-friendly, and security-wise when you try to implement the security layer on top of it, it's not that easy either."
"The pricing could be improved. It's too expensive right now."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management should improve its installation and make it easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy 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."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."
"Postman is a free service."
"This solution offers a free version."
"I am using the free option."
"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."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
