We performed a comparison between Apigee and Postman based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important feature is the security capabilities and the way it integrates very quickly with other security providers. We have integrated it with Azure and it integrates quite seamlessly."
"They capture the details of all the incoming and outgoing traffic of your APIs. Based on 300+ default dimensions you can generate beautiful and insightful reports on usage and consumption of APIs."
"The use case which I have installed serves the intended purpose."
"Technical support has been decent."
"Great flexibility with its features."
"This is a front-layer gateway that helps to improve our overall performance."
"It nice and easy for the clients and those using the product to access the product's help resources."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"This solution offers a free version."
"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."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"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 solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
"I would like them to add features, such as caching and mediation policies."
"The initial setup for the on-prem solution is a little complex."
"It would be good if the Apigee management allowed us to be able to consolidate many operations into single one for the gateway functionality."
"When it comes to the rate limit, we don't have a specific category for rate limits for a particular customer."
"iPaaS is something that we would like to see. For example, MuleSoft is kind of an integrated platform as a service (iPaaS), and it provides a lot of out-of-the-box connectors and other such things. This is where Apigee lacks. I'm not sure if that's the roadmap for Apigee, but any improvements on those lines would be helpful where things become easier to implement."
"We've encountered challenges in leveraging Connect functionality, prompting us to explore additional tools, such as Fergus, to address implementation and security issues."
"One feature they have to invest time into is the developer portal they use."
"The developer portal's adoption of the OpenAPI standard needs to be improved. In the latest version of the developer portal, they have adopted the OpenAPI standard. This feature, however, can be improved by supporting more characteristics of the OpenAPI standard."
"The performance needs to be improved."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"I rate the support for Postman a four out of five."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately."
"Postman does not have a check-in balance. Essentially what I mean by that is if there is something that is already configured on a particular device, it just overrides it without checking whether you really want to override it or not."
