Postman vs webMethods.io comparison

"This solution offers a free version."

"It's easy to see different versions of responses."

"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."

"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."

"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."

"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 allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."

"Simple to use and you can easily store your projects."

"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."

"The solution is scalable."

"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."

"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."

"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."

"The stability is good."

"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."

"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."

"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."

"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."

"Should have a more improved easy-to-use interface."

"The scalability of the solution can be improved."

"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."

"I was not even aware that it was possible to automate tasks in Postman...Some features related to the automation of tasks need to be added to the solution."

"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections."

"UI testing needs to be added to the solution."

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."

"The on-premises setup can be difficult."

"I would like to see the price improve."

"The interface needs some work. It is not very user-friendly."

"Understanding the overall architecture is difficult."

"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."

"Technical support is an area where they can improve."

"Postman is a free service."

"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."

"I am using the free option."

"I rate the price of Postman a four out of five."

"We are using the free version that is available."

"This is an open source solution."

"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."

"There is a license needed to use the webMethods Integration Server."

"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."

"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."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."

"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."

"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."
