AI coding has accelerated our feature delivery and has transformed how our team builds services
I have been noticing recently that Cursor introduced their own model, which is pretty limited; it is very fast, but it is not smart. They might have to improve that, along with the agent selection methodology. When you select auto, you expect it to use the best agent possible and think of the money savings, but it does not always work as expected, sometimes providing bad code or code that has bugs. I think the auto mode selection can improve. Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up. We are paying an amount similar to a developer's salary for Cursor now. I believe all the needed improvements are primarily around the auto agent selection mode and pricing. If they could be more transparent about it, that would be appreciated. We only see the bill at the end of the month, and it is often a high amount, so transparency in the pricing would be very helpful for us as developers.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cursor positively impacts my organization by providing great feasibility and better reliability, enabling faster development processes."
"Previously, tasks that would take weeks or months can now be completed within days because of these AI tools."
"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."
"This product deserves an eight out of ten."
"The interface and the different types of API methods you can use are the most valuable aspects of this solution."
"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"Postman Enterprise has impacted our organization positively because on a day-to-day basis, when we are developing APIs for different services, we have to validate the different APIs, and when we design this, we should not impact the old ones, therefore we have these collections useful in Postman Enterprise that we can share across team members so they can validate if anything is wrong in the existing when we are trying to push the new code, which helps us avoid recreating it and saves time and avoids errors, especially when we are debugging issues."
 

Cons

"Sometimes Cursor does get stuck, which should be addressed, though the UI remains very good."
"Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up."
"One of the primary challenges with Postman is handling authentication issues, especially relating to tokens and passwords."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
"One potential improvement for Postman Enterprise could be incorporating AI features into its advanced options."
"The solution is quite complex and not so easy to understand at first glance."
"Initially, the setup is a little bit complex. Whenever a user comes to Postman for the first time, it is just a bit complex since they do not know where to start and what is the structure."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
