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

"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."
"Postman offers great features, so I get a better opportunity to run bulk tasks through single command lines and single APIs, and we have an internal Postman AI tool, which helps improvise the code and analyze the quality if you find any errors."
"I have enjoyed using parameters and setting parameters while powering directly."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"The variables part is good. We can easily define the variables and we don't have to manually do a change every time, it gets automatically updated."
"Postman is a great solution and resource for those who are new to technical platforms in terms of API development and testing."
"The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"It is easy to work with but it is not stable."
"Very few outages or SLA issues."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management has brought numerous benefits for our organization, especially in product maturity and support."
"When we did the product evaluation, we saw that TIBCO Mashery offers end-to-end API life cycle management. It provides all API features that are required for managing the complete life cycle. It includes the developer portal and tools for API monitorization. The out-of-box security features that TIBCO Mashery provides are enterprise-grade, which gives it an edge over other API products."
"Conversion to RESTful and SOAP protocols and management console (can manage individually throttled settings to manage our service levels for customers)."
"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 platform's most valuable features are its capabilities to support security measures such as tokenization, token refresh, throttling, and enforcement of payloads."
"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."
 

Cons

"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"When you try to code something and put it in the code, it's not useful."
"It is not that stable because the bigger the APIs, the higher the chance of crashes. Also, it takes up a lot of RAM and system memory, so it is not that reliable."
"I don't think there is any need for comments on improvements."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"We observed delays under heavy load conditions, and without proper tuning, changes could take an extended period to filter and become effective."
"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."
"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."
"It lacks many features at the API gateway compared to other solutions."
"Stability is our concern because it's very complex to manage and handle."
"The pricing could be improved. It's too expensive right now."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"This is an open source solution."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"I use the tool's free version."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"Licensing is quite flexible."
"We have secured terms on which we have been happy to renew for a number of years."
"TIBCO Cloud API Management is not an expensive solution."
"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."
