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.

Internal API gateway has improved security frameworks and now provides unified API visibility
The best features Tyk offers are highly customizable options, effective traffic management, and security, making it easy to configure and use. The customizability of Tyk is evident in our validation of the token—specifically with our internal identity and access management. There were challenges on the network side and in managing token validity and the public key, but Tyk allowed us to configure these aspects effectively. I believe those are the standard out-of-the-box capabilities provided by Tyk that we are using, particularly regarding traffic management and security. Tyk has positively impacted my organization by providing standard API management capabilities, such as a single view for all APIs, discoverability, and role-based access control for overseeing who can see which APIs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"Postman Enterprise saves my time significantly."
"It is nice to have different workspaces. You have your personal workspace, and then you have a team workspace. In general, I like its UI. It is quite cool."
"This is an easy solution to manage."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"I would absolutely recommend this solution."
"It definitely increases the quality of our deliveries because we are able to test our APIs before moving them to production."
"It is a good product for API management."
"Tyk looked like a good product."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"Customer support is excellent, and their support personnel, along with professional services, know the product really well, resulting in a good experience dealing with them."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"The portal for developers that this solution provides has great functionality."
"Other than the limitations with the cloud version everything else is fantastic."
 

Cons

"Postman Enterprise could enhance performance for very large collections and complex workspaces."
"They can lower the pricing because small teams cannot afford it."
"The reporting could be better. It should give you a detailed PDF report after you run a test."
"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections. It is important to be careful when storing information to ensure files are secure and not lost."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"I would like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"If you have knowledge of JavaScript, the initial setup is easy and straightforward. If not, it may take some time to learn about JavaScript before starting the implementation."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"I would like to see some additional features like having some extensions for .NET core because we use it for our back-end language."
"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"We ran it for a while, but then we decided to move away from Tyk, because Tyk's cloud version, the SaaS version, has a significant limitation of limited flexibility, so you can't program very much."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I am using the free option."
"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 is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"It is free."
"We are using its free version."
"The solution is open-source and free."
"The solution has a licensing fee which might be prohibitive."
"The cost curve is far smoother, both in terms of volume and the number of calls it's running on, compared to most competitors. So it's a tad more expensive at the very low end, but the curve is nothing like Apigee or some of the others."
"There are different versions and plans available depending on the requirements, so there is flexibility in terms of the pricing."
"It had a free version, which suited many of our needs, but not all, but we were happy to go ahead with the licensed version as well, which is the paid version."
"We are using the open-source version of this product, so there are no licensing costs for its use."
"The price is low compared to other products of a similar type."
