Solution simplifies web service testing with impressive speed and accessibility
It is very easy for me to use and I highly prefer it compared to SoapUI and other products for performing its job. It is more handy and faster. It has impacted us very nicely. Postman is used for free by us. I'm not sure if there might be a paid version for multiple users. It is a very good product used for development. It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers. I taught my business analyst to use it. I just showed them once, and it was easy for them to understand. For example, I gave them the URL and request format and asked them to test independently. They were able to use it on their own and do their testing as well. It was a good experience, especially for generally smart people, like those we usually hire in our company. It is pretty easy to explain, and learning it is not complex.

Facilitating enterprise-wide API governance and management
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. The scalability also needs enhancement, as it becomes flaky under increased load. Additionally, the versioning management could be improved to be on par with source code management tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."
"I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature."
"I rate Postman as a ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"I have enjoyed using parameters and setting parameters while powering directly."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is licensing."
"You can click & play and add the notation in a human-readable form. Spotlight is also very good in the graphical design of APIs."
"The most valuable features are the collaboration between multiple teams and the control and distribution of specifications."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is quite a useful tool. It is quite good with the validation of the spec. It works quite well in terms of errors and conformity to the OpenAPI standard. It is better than Visual Studio Code in terms of editing."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy and not at all difficult."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"The scalability is endless."
 

Cons

"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"The product lacks a good console."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections."
"We have to use additional tools to test APIs."
"More integration and usability with the cloud microservices would be nice"
"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."
"It has limited functionality...Unfortunately, some of its features are not what we need."
"SwaggerHub's UI needs to be improved as it looks very old school."
"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."
"It could be more intuitive compared to one of its competitors."
"SwaggerHub could be improved with better integration for tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I use the tool's free version."
"We are using the free version that is available."
"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."
"I am using the free option."
"Its price is moderate as compared to other competitors. The version that we are using is not open source, so it is not free."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"The tool is cheap."
"It has a yearly subscription, but I am not sure."
