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."If you have numerous applications and high traffic, Apigee is a strong choice for its excellent features and outstanding performance."
"I use it because it's simple, it automatically updates, and It hasn't given me any issues."
"Its customer service is good."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"Its flexibility allows seamless management of different products, showcasing scalability to handle extensive solutions."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"The initial setup isn't too complex."
"It allowed us to understand the working and performance of the APIs."
"The API testing features are valuable."
"In Postman, we have an option to directly import a call, make it a Postman collection, and execute it in a batch. This feature is very useful. It saves a lot of time. The manual effort is also reduced when we can just pick it in a Postman collection and then run and execute it to get the results."
"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."
"No coding required."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It is easy and simple to use and install. It is compatible with Linux, Mac or Windows."
"What my clients don't like is that the on-premises solution is not being treated and maintained as well as the cloud solution."
"Drag and drop of features would be more beneficial, rather than manually working on the configuration and updates."
"It needs predictive analysis of consumption."
"In terms of the functionalities of a typical API gateway, Apigee is actually doing its job, but when it involves integration with backend applications, which some gateways have, I don't believe it has this functionality. You have to do Java or do some other low-level coding before you are able to do the integration. Apigee has a lot of components, which means that management will be a bit difficult. It probably has ten different components, and all of these components leverage open-source utilities, such as NGINX. When those open-source vendors upgrade their utility, Apigee usually lags behind because they need to do a lot of tests and any required development in their own platform. They need to do rigorous testing to make sure that nothing breaks. Because of that, it takes them a while to upgrade whatever components have been upgraded by the open-source vendor that owns the utility. We've been chasing them for a particular upgrade for well over a year and a half, and they have not done that upgrade. It is creating a security risk for us as an enterprise, but that upgrade has not been done, even though the open-source vendor, the owner of the utility, has upgraded it a long time ago."
"Apigee could improve by integrating with more identity providers and offering a default authentication module."
"They need to work on the cost of the solution."
"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."
"Apigee is demanding on the infrastructure so the setup cost is very high for an on-premises deployment."
"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."
"To get this email reporting function, we have to integrate Postman with Newman. If the two are not integrated, we won't be getting all these things in one group."
"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."
"Version management could be simplified."
"I live in Turkey, so for me, the value of dollar currency is high...Postman can change its pricing policy and decrease the prices for Turkey."
"I would like to have a code snippet where I can write a code and for the responses of the endpoints to be validated using my custom business conditions."
"I would like to see advanced automation in reference to Postman."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
