Postman Enterprise Reviews

Our primary use case for Postman is API testing for our product. We haven't automated the request and response part yet, like how we used to do for automation scripts. Basically, we are just shooting the URL's and recording the response. As of now we have multiple API's and we are using the collection so that we can run it together in a single flow, like an automation execution.

Then we use the basic variables and the collection variables. We even saw that we have some additional validation through the response code and the status code, like if there is an expired date then we should be expecting 200 status codes. We are doing those kinds of things now. We have been using Postman for the API testing for two to three month.

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. Secondly, I like the validation feature which is required for our automation testing. This way we can see that our test case passed. I think we could add some more validation but we need to do more research on that. For example, how can we play with it and find the response code and the other statuses? We need to do more research on how we can validate the exact response and the code, and how we get the response messages.

We prefer Postman as it is the most usable solution. It's really accessible. We also use SoapUI for API testing. But we prefer Postman, based on the reviews, based on our research, and how easily the solutions are available if we get stuck somewhere.

In terms of what can be improved, I would expect extra features that would make our work easier.

I just saw that it's functioning is based on the machine. Meaning, if we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse. So developing environment compatibility would make it better. 

Other than that, I don't see anything more to improve. As it is now, I get for a return whatever I am expecting. That's why I gave it a seven or an eight. Because I'm not expecting much on that portion.

Because, we are mostly focused on that I would expect more validation points.

In terms of stability, it didn't crash or take time to load or anything like that. We did not face any issues with stability. It's a very old tool, so it's been used a lot. It gets daily usage.

Right now, two to three people are testing it and other people are joining in. We have individually different user ID's and we don't have to go chasing anything because we are using the free version now. Because we are not using the paid version I won't be able to see the scalability yet because we are just doing the basic stuff, such as a request hit and run.

The initial setup is very straightforward. We just have to download and do the setup. We already have the collection so we just have to share it with the teams and import the project. Furthermore, we didn't create the project and we had to do everything manually before creating the variables and still the installation was not complex.

We also use SoapUI.

On a scale of one to ten I would rate it an eight.

My primary use case is for API testing. 

The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution.

The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan.

I have been using Postman for over a year. 

It is quite stable. I don't use it quite extensively but for what I use it for it's quite stable.

At my current company there are around 2,000 users. 

I haven't used technical support. The documentation is quite good. I use the Postman website and forums. 

The deployment depends on what you are going to use it for. It can be simple and it can be complex at the same time.

When it comes to anything API related, I would recommend this solution. For anything API-related, it's perfect. REST API is the way to go and I would recommend Postman for it. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

The pricing is the only improvement. Its competitors are quite pricey. But it would be nice if there were more options like annual, monthly or enterprise-level.

Almost all the teams here depend on the APIs, which are built-in SOAP or JSON. We have multiple teams testing JSON and they use Postman. There are multiple applications teams that integrate their interfaces with APIs, and they use the Postman.

We used to test APIs with different kinds of data by keying in the data from Excel sheets and using it to test APIs in Postman. But now, our testing is more data-driven.

Among the valuable features are

• data-driven automation
• response validation
• testing of the performance of APIs.
  

We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts.

When you get a response, for example, if you search the response and want to know how many numbers of fields, it displays 10 times. If a purchase has five to 10 cards in the response, instead of one of the fields being mandatory, it has to be part of each section of the cards. I would like that if you click on one of the fields you should be able to see the entire row of fields, names, and values.

Half of my career has been on web service testing only, and we have used Postman for JSON testing. For SOAP, we use ReadyAPI.

We only use Postman for JSON testing, but we don't have any issue with it.

We have also had no issues with scalability.

We have not had to contact Postman's technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes a maximum of five to 10 minutes.

The deployment is done by the development team. We have a giant scrum we follow. Development does the deployment using XL Deploy. And right now they are not using Jenkins.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

The most valuable feature of this solution is Collections. It perfectly suits a microservice factor.

The workspace is very useful. You can save configurations in their cloud so that you can access them from home, or at the office because you log in to the same account. You don't have to recreate them.

I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed.

This is a stable solution. It's perfect.

We have between fifty and sixty employees who are all using this solution. We do not have plans to increase usage at this time.

I have not yet needed technical support for this solution.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

The initial setup of this solution is simple and pretty much straightforward.

I can just open up a tab and use it.

We have perhaps ten people who maintain this solution

We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license.

I tried another solution but it was incompatible.

I'm perfectly happy with this solution and I'm really enjoying it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are using it to test the API service for the GET and the POST. For this type of test, it is working properly for the APIs. It tests for the minimum usage of Postman. Also, if developers insist in collections, then we can share these collections as well.

1. We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors. 
2. We can use the code for performance testing.

• It is easy to use.
• It's free.
• It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes. 
• We are using the automation and performance testing tools. 

We would like to create an entire suite where we can check the contents of the definition, like the server file. It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side.

We cannot see transaction times in the product.

You can send it multiple tests at one time.

We have not used technical support yet.

The initial setup was very straightforward. It was easy to install, because it is a very lightweight application.

It is free.

I am searching for other options now.

We started using this solution because we have a requirement to do more integration testing and automated regression testing.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor:

• Saves time.
• Creates automate processes.
• Easy to use.
• Easy to understand.
• Provides knowledge transfer.
• Less coding involved.
• Does not take up a lot of memory.
• Cost.

Our primary use case for the solution is data-driven testing for API. We get data from the environment, and we have some APIs to get the data.

The API testing features are valuable.

The solution could be more user-friendly and improve its documentation.

We have been using the solution for approximately one year.

The solution is stable.

We have not tested the extent of its scalability yet. Currently, ten people are using the solution in our organization.

We previously did not use other solutions.

The initial setup was complex because we had limited first-time user experience. I rate the setup process a six out of ten.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. I advise users considering this solution to watch Youtube videos to bridge the documentation gap.

Our company uses the solution as a developer platform for testing APIs. Our backend team develops APIs which are then pushed to the solution for QA testing and configuration. 

It is very easy to create and manage different environments for testing. We can plug in different URLs and variables to test in a local environment before going to production. 

The solution has a great user interface and collection of features. 

Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream subtype which provides responses in chunks for files that can be downloaded and viewed. We had an issue with multi-part requests recently and had to fix it. 

I have been using the solution for four years. 

The solution is stable with no issues. We have never experienced a problem or crash. 

The solution is scalable. An improvement to the octet-stream will enhance scalability for testing APIs. 

I have not escalated questions to support. One time I experienced an issue switching URLs in our environment, but haven't experienced it since. The solution's developers and QA team are continuously improving the product. 

The setup was really easy and was accomplished by configuring our email. 

Different projects automatically sync to the solution upon login so we are able to import files and configure API setups for other team members. 

We implemented the solution in-house and there is no maintenance because continuous updates are provided. 

I use the solution and other team members use Swagger. 

The solution is a great tool for managing APIs and should be used by developers and QA teams. It performs important testing for understanding how APIs work or whether any bugs exist and can be used to set up product domains. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

I use Postman to connect to the endpoint and any endpoints I am working with that can be connected to Starcorp tools itself. It's a model-based configuration API, which can be called API levels.

I'm using Postman as a mediator between the client and some other database.

The features of Postman that I use most are POST and PUT functionalities for sending the data.

The service logs can be useful in our work. The data you are sending and fetching from that endpoint is very clean and understandable. Anyone can understand it.

As for room for improvement in Postman, I haven't observed anything that needs improvement as of now. What I have observed has been good.

Sometimes there might be issues, though not major ones, but the documentation helps with these.

I am a user of the Postman application.

For stability, I haven't faced any issues with bugs or breaking down. Once it goes to real-time production, it won't get affected. During the development phase, you will face issues, but once it goes to production, you won't face such issues. That is a good thing.

Regarding stability, I would rate it nine out of ten.

Regarding scalability, while I cannot fully judge that particular concept, it has been good as I haven't faced any challenges.

Regarding their support, I don't have any judgment I can make on that.

Positive

The initial setup for Postman is easy and doesn't require much effort.

I am using Postman for my current development work.

Regarding whether Postman is an easy tool to use, I wouldn't say specific experience and knowledge are necessary, but regarding real-time configuration, users should follow the best practices. For using this tool, there isn't much needed experience in other technologies or coding. Technical backgrounds aren't needed; users just need to follow best practices.

I can describe how Postman's automation feature works when getting data from any database through an API. The automation happens in the background, though you can't track how much time it takes.

Overall, I would give Postman a nine, as it was great and good. Though there are sometimes issues, I would recommend it.
