Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier. Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.

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

"It is a scalable solution."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"Simple to use and you can easily store your projects."
"The scripting capabilities in Postman are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs."
"Postman is very user-friendly and accessible even for those with minimal experience."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."
"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."
"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."
"We utilize modular tests based on environment variables. These have saved QA a lot of time when setting up our back-end automation."
"Environment initial variables allow our team to run tests against multiple environments on the fly."
"The schedule is definitely the most valuable. Also, being able to check the JSON attribute values is helpful. We always check the attributes. Finally, the notifications are helpful as well."
"Valuable features include: Being able to add tests as sub-tests in a parent test for regression testing; notifications for tests that pass/fail; being able to customize expected results with assertions; being able to set tests to run daily."
"We have the ability to populate environment variables using scripts. This allows us to keep the configuration mostly dynamic and avoid a lot of manual updates when something changes."
"It is a cloud-based environment for building and executing tests, which allows me to focus on building, running, and reviewing test results."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"The main improvement needed is better integration with test management and other tools to allow a common dashboard for all testing metrics and details."
"The request encryption could be one thing on which they can work a little bit. If we don't want to expose our production data but we still want to test our APIs on the production data, there should be a way to do that. It is not only with Postman. I think no tool in the market is doing that right now."
"They should provide more specific documentation on configuration."
"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."
"Could be more user friendly."
"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."
"There are not many options for scalability."
"One thing that can be improved is the logging. Sometimes, when we have an error, we don't know how to find more information about the problem that has happened. Sometimes, it just returns something like "that gateway." More information would be a way to improve it."
"It would be nice to be able to generate API documentation."
"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."
"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."
"Needs the ability to create code which runs before and after API tests."
"We would like to have an improved ability to share a set of tests across different environments (e.g., dev, stage, and prod)."
"The initial setup included a lot of repetitive manual work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"Unlike APIs, the solution does not require a license."
"This is an open source solution."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"It is free."
"I use the tool's free version."
"The solution has moderate pricing."
"Pricing is fair."
"The price for the product is very reasonable for a team of more than four to five members."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
"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."
