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.

Enables us to monitor API endpoints to ensure everything is running
I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens. Another thing I have found is that the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug. Finally, other than the Runscope documentation, I haven't seen too much elsewhere. I haven't seen a user community.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Postman offers great features, so I get a better opportunity to run bulk tasks through single command lines and single APIs, and we have an internal Postman AI tool, which helps improvise the code and analyze the quality if you find any errors."
"The solution is stable and provides a good user experience."
"Postman Enterprise positively impacts my organization as it saves our time, eliminating the need to check it manually."
"Postman is very easy to use even for a person who doesn't have much knowledge or technical skills."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"Good at simulating the API code from a fictitious client application to check API behavior."
"Postman is a great solution and resource for those who are new to technical platforms in terms of API development and testing."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"The feature of automatically executing tests at a predefined time interval is great as we can be continuously testing our end-points before and after builds are deployed."
"It is a cloud-based environment for building and executing tests, which allows me to focus on building, running, and reviewing test results."
"Environment initial variables allow our team to run tests against multiple environments on the fly."
"This solution has improved our responsiveness to issues in both production and non-production environments. Through integration with Slack, our development and DevOps teams are quickly aware of issues related to new changes deployed to non-production environments, which tightens our feedback loop during testing. Through integration with PagerDuty, our DevOps resources are able to reduce the adverse impact of a given production issue."
"Runscope is the best option for REST API automation."
"This solution has improved our responsiveness to issues in both production and non-production environments."
"It has allowed us to go from no API tests to scheduled, automated tests integrated with PagerDuty in a few months."
"Tests are per-step configurable with script capabilities and support for token-based authentication using variables. Configurable test frequency and integration with both Slack and PagerDuty for alerting our DevOps team are also important. General use of the dashboard by multiple team members is also valuable."
 

Cons

"One potential improvement for Postman Enterprise could be incorporating AI features into its advanced options."
"We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB."
"I live in Turkey, so for me, the value of dollar currency is high...Postman can change its pricing policy and decrease the prices for Turkey."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"It is not that easy to use and should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"Could be more user friendly."
"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"There are not many options for scalability."
"File upload is a big part of the products that we test. The lack of file upload in Runscope requires us to still use UI (Selenium) automated tests for these scenarios."
"If triggering test bucket via trigger API, there is no option to see if the tests which were triggered passed or failed."
"I would like to see easier integration and display of test results so that the data could be shared via a dashboard within our company. (Some integration is possible, provided you use one of the supported platforms)."
"The initial setup included a lot of repetitive manual work."
"Reliability. I would like to see more money invested in disaster recovery testing of the application. The product should be hosted across several AWS regions so if there are issues with an EC2 instance in a particular region, the whole application won't be affected. Once or twice a year there are issues with AWS that causes the reliability of the application to suffer."
"If you forget to set the default environment during test creation, you have to go through every test and make sure that it is set to the environment that you prefer if using shared environments. If there was an option to force all tests within a bucket into a specific environment with one click, this would save a lot of time."
"There have been some Runscope outages in the last year. Though not many, Runscope availability is of critical importance in our production context."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"It is free."
"This is an open source solution."
"I am using the free option."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"Having the different plans organized by team size, buckets, and requests per billing period works for our needs. Larger companies may need to take a close look at these elements."
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
"Pricing is fair."

Questions from the Community

How does Postman compare with Apache JMeter?
Postman lets you easily define variables, which then get updated automatically. This is a huge time-saver and makes processes very efficient. We can also export the test cases we create and share t...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Postman?
Almost 30% of our time has been saved when it comes to complete regression testing of one feature. That is the rough estimate I can provide.
What needs improvement with Postman?
One area for improvement is that sometimes performance is slightly slow when we are handling large collections. Also, we need better integrations with CI/CD tools so that automation would be smooth...
