Authentication mechanism is easy to implement but improvement is needed in documentation
For API security purposes, we use the tool to host all our APIs. This allows us to take advantage of the security features provided by the platform. With the solution, we can implement rules such as rate limiting and restricting the number of API calls for each user. It acts as a secure gateway…

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.

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

Pros

"Good interface, intuitive solution."
"Its completeness feature for the large enterprises, in my case for the government, is the most valuable feature of this product."
"The interface is good, and the policies that it uses as opposed to the features that it has in terms of security and the throughput management and those aspects are intuitive."
"Postman is one of the easiest tools; I have not seen anybody complaining because it's just one Google search away."
"The output has been very good; there are lots of good features, its initial setup is easy depending on the operating system, it is stable and reliable, and the product is not expensive although there is also the option for open-source so it can be free to use."
"It definitely increases the quality of our deliveries because we are able to test our APIs before moving them to production."
"It is beneficial to have flexibility, especially with API chaining."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"The solution is stable and provides a good user experience."
"Postman is better than SoapUI when it comes to usability."

Cons

"The version that we have is very old."
"Lacks an integrated billing feature."
"Akana API Management needs to improve its documentation."
"The product has new features that we are going to implement in the next few months, such as API management and analytic reporting."

"Running test cases using Postman is not as easy as with ReadyAPI."
"Initially, the setup is a little bit complex"
"Reporting can be better. If you have bigger APIs, it takes time."

"The solution is open-source and free."
