"Simple to use and you can easily store your projects."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"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."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"It is stable and does not lag."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Apigee's user interface could be more straightforward and have more options. Also, it would be nice if it were ready to work out of the box without so much configuration."
"Unlike WSA, Apigee does not have a partnership model, something which makes it a bit easier for companies such as ours to go with the former solution."
"The developer portal's adoption of the OpenAPI standard needs to be improved. In the latest version of the developer portal, they have adopted the OpenAPI standard. This feature, however, can be improved by supporting more characteristics of the OpenAPI standard."
"Apigee on premise is quite complex and it is always moving faster."
"Apigee lacks market presence."
"I am still struggling to understand how we can use Apigee as a hybrid system. The pricing of this solution could also be improved as there are multiple new products coming onto the market at competitive price points."
"In terms of the functionalities of a typical API gateway, Apigee is actually doing its job, but when it involves integration with backend applications, which some gateways have, I don't believe it has this functionality. You have to do Java or do some other low-level coding before you are able to do the integration. Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult. It probably has ten different components, and all of these components leverage open-source utilities, such as NGINX. When those open-source vendors upgrade their utility, Apigee usually lags behind because they need to do a lot of tests and any required development in their own platform. They need to do rigorous testing to make sure that nothing breaks. Because of that, it takes them a while to upgrade whatever components have been upgraded by the open-source vendor that owns the utility. We've been chasing them for a particular upgrade for well over a year and a half, and they have not done that upgrade. It is creating a security risk for us as an enterprise, but that upgrade has not been done, even though the open-source vendor, the owner of the utility, has upgraded it a long time ago."
"I see some lagging in regards to integration capacity"
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"The solution is quite complex partly because the UI needs simplification."
"Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"Postman could be improved by providing options for performance testing of APIs."
"The reporting could be better. It should give you a detailed PDF report after you run a test."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
