Reliable and easy to expand with a helpful API network
I am working for an insurance firm, a big client in the USA. They wanted to upgrade the current technology with something new. However, they have legacy applications, and they don't want to handle APIs. They didn't want anything to hit their existing API since they have two layers of APIs.  At the…

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple."
"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."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"We are using the automation and performance testing tools."
"The user-interface is very good."
More Postman pros
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"ActiveTransfer lets us maintain the file in the staging area before we transfer it. After that, we can remove the file to make sure that the reconciliation process is done. Sometimes we will zip and unzip the files, but if we have a GKB file, we often ignore it."
"​Broker and UM are the best features."
"EDI is robust and integration with SAP is good."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
More webMethods.io pros
 

Cons

"The scalability of the solution can be improved."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"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."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
"The pricing should be adjusted for the Pro plan."
"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
More Postman cons
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"​Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"We'd like for them to open up to a more cloud-based solution that could offer more flexibility and maybe a better rules engine or more integration with rules engines."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."
More webMethods.io cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using its free version."
"This tool is open-source and free to download and use."
"We are currently using the free version, but we have plans to buy a license."
"It is free."
"This solution offers a free version."
"Postman is an open-source product. It is free to download from Google."
"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."
"Postman is a free service."
More Postman pricing and cost advice
"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."
"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."
"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."
"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
