API testing via postman
A simple and easy-to-use solution for API with easy maintenance
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We are exploring code generation and how it works. We also like the test functionalities and snippets that we can use directly.
Moreover, the tool is simple and easy.
What needs improvement?
Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Postman for around two years. Initially, we used it only once, and now we use it more.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is easy to scale till now.
We are using the solution for five people.
How are customer service and support?
We get help from videos and the web.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have also worked with SoapUI, but we like Postman because it has automation.
Postman is a more compact tool, and it has many functionalities. In the first stage that we used, Postman, we only tested how it works. Now we are using more functionalities. With SoapUI, it's because some customers have used it to define the APIs, and then we have to interact with this environment.
But we use Postman, and we prefer Postman. Although, there are some tools from SoapUI that are good. For example, the API design, checking, and definition. If Postman has anything similar, you can check the definition of the API, and it proposes you an improvement and so on, but in the development phase, we used Postman, and we like Postman.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is easy. The maintenance is easy as well because we are not doing all the possible accents and because we are not doing anything to maintain.
The solution is deployed on the public cloud and on-premises in our organization. But I use it more in the cloud.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution’s pricing is realistic according to our usage level. As we grow and require additional functionality beyond what we currently use, there is a higher cost while upgrading the developer plan. We want to explore features like automatic code generation and other functionalities.
We are paying only for the license for now, and it comes with a monthly subscription.
What other advice do I have?
Postman is one of the most widely used tools in the market. When you use it, it is practical and useful. You need to check whether it suits your team, project type, and work to take profit from the way Postman works. From the beginning, it is one of the three main tools you must explore if you regularly deal with APIs.
However, I am still exploring all the tools, and I don't know if I can maintain it or not. When I know all the different technologies better, I will be able to say.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.
