Sagor Rana - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficiently filters API data though experiences slower performance with larger projects
I would like to see better performance in larger projects. When dealing with large amounts of data, it can become slow, causing users to potentially abandon the application. Improving performance and ensuring the app runs smoothly would enhance user experience. Stability issues, where it sometimes breaks down, need to be addressed as well.
Anagha Mahadik - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution simplifies web service testing with impressive speed and accessibility
It is very easy for me to use and I highly prefer it compared to SoapUI and other products for performing its job. It is more handy and faster. It has impacted us very nicely. Postman is used for free by us. I'm not sure if there might be a paid version for multiple users. It is a very good product used for development. It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers. I taught my business analyst to use it. I just showed them once, and it was easy for them to understand. For example, I gave them the URL and request format and asked them to test independently. They were able to use it on their own and do their testing as well. It was a good experience, especially for generally smart people, like those we usually hire in our company. It is pretty easy to explain, and learning it is not complex.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The most valuable features of Apollo GraphOS OS for me are its security and authentication processes."
"The most valuable features of Apollo GraphOS OS for me are its security and authentication processes."
"I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"The tool is simple and easy."
"With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing."
"It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs."
"The user interface is very easy to learn and use, and it is a lightweight application."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"Postman helps to write pre-request scripts and make a collection out of each request. You don’t have to spend time writing or copying the requests. The solution lets you integrate multiple environments and their features. Either the tool’s pro or premium version lets you do the merge and pull request for the Git directly."
 

Cons

"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage."
"Apollo GraphOS OS is using a detailed project, and it can be time-consuming because it has a lot of data to manage. It sometimes takes longer than three seconds, which can affect loading times and lead to user dissatisfaction. I would like to see improved performance."
"The reporting could be better. It should give you a detailed PDF report after you run a test."
"Postman does not have database validation available, which affects its scalability."
"I don't think there is any need for comments on improvements."
"They should provide more specific documentation on configuration."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"Version management could be simplified."
"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are using the free version that is available."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"I rate the product's price a nine or ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. Postman is an expensive tool for Turkey."
"The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user."
"We do not pay any money for Postman."
"We use the open-source version. They introduced a new licensing model where your company must subscribe to their services if you're using it for business purposes. However, I think they charge too much if you're only using the basic features. It limits what your organization can do if you're not a paying customer."
"This solution offers a free version."
"I am using the free option."
