"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"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."
"No coding required."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"Monetization and cataloging can be improved."
"Their analytics needs a lot of improvement. It's really lacking right now."
"The most important thing that should be improved is that it is too heavy."
"One improvement is maybe to add a plugin in the API manager. Let's say an organisation is using SOAP services or legacy APIs. Maybe I don't want to migrate it to rest API, but my plugin should be able to convert Jason to XML. Basically, protocol transformation features in API Manager."
"The solution is missing a monetization module."
"I would like to see MuleSoft expand the range of APIs you can manage with it beyond HTTP, GIPC, and others."
"To improve Anypoint API Manager for the next release, it should focus on better consumption scalability, especially for smaller APIs."
"They should provide training and development programs to enable the skills and capabilities of users."
"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."
"If you have knowledge of JavaScript, the initial setup is easy and straightforward. If not, it may take some time to learn about JavaScript before starting the implementation."
"Should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."
"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."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
