Postman Initial Setup
My understanding is that the solution is straightforward to set up. There are some challenges, sometimes, around configuration, specifically with REST API, however, it's not too difficult.
I'm not sure how many people are needed to deploy and maintain eh solution. We have a team of five or six, and we can handle it internally.

It's straightforward for me. I've been using Postman for a while. You can just directly download Postman from the web and use the version on your desktop. It takes minutes to download the EXE file and install that. It takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
Its updates are not very frequent. It's once every six months or one year. There are not many failures in Postman.
The solution's initial setup process is straightforward. You must know about the required environment and security credentials for implementation. It needs two test automation engineers and one business analyst to execute and takes a few hours to complete.
I rate the process as an eight.

It is pretty straightforward. They also have a WebUI. If you don't want to use it on your device, you can go and use WebUI.
View full review »I rate the product's initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is a very easy setup.
The product's installation phase is very easy.
The solution is not deployed on a cloud model.
The solution can be deployed in six or seven weeks.
The product's deployment process revolves around controlling back-end activities while also keeping control over the part of writing output codes, after which I could classify some tests on it. The deployment process of the product was easy.
I was alone in the project for deployment, as it was not so complicated for one person.

The initial setup is straightforward. You just have to install the application, there is no complexity in that. Deployment takes a few minutes and then you build up your URI and start using it. In total, it takes less than half an hour.
The product is easy to implement. You need some knowledge to implement the product. As I was more or less familiar with SoapUI, I could very easily pick up the way Postman works.
View full review »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.

View full review »Initial setup is easy. Sometimes we get the proxy errors, but when we go to the settings and disable the proxy things, it's pretty simple. Comparatively, SoapUI is easier for me.
Maybe some people who don't have a licensed version of Postman or ReadyAPI might feel that it's easier to automate with Postman, but I'm not sure about that because I haven't done it.
View full review »If a file is in Windows, it is very easy to deploy the product. We can do configurations easily and handle test scripts well. It's all very straightforward.
However, other operating systems may be more difficult. The process varies depending on if you are using Windows, Unbuntu, or Linux, for example.
Depending on the scripting, the deployment hardly takes 30 seconds to one minute. It'll check for the E2E level in the checkpoints, and how to trigger in the checkpoints.
The product's initial setup phase was easy and not difficult.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution is very easy to set up. There were no issues.
View full review »You complete some setup processes for an application and have to provide the URL. It is not a complex setup. With a bit of understanding of API, it can be set up. I rate the setup an eight out of ten. There is a dedicated framework team for maintenance comprising about six people. Maintenance is required every three months.

The initial setup of Postman is of a middle level of difficulty, it is not difficult or easy. However, it depends on the skills of the person doing it, it is easy for me.
View full review »It was straightforward to install. We just downloaded it and used it as a tool for testing our APIs. We had a back-end developer and two mobile developers utilizing this solution.
Its usage depends on how many APIs we have to test. So we had a complete collection of APIs that we tested, and once we tested, everything was ready.

The initial setup is very straightforward. We just have to download and do the setup. We already have the collection so we just have to share it with the teams and import the project. Furthermore, we didn't create the project and we had to do everything manually before creating the variables and still the installation was not complex.

It's not exactly complex, but I wouldn't say it's straightforward either.
The deployment process was very quick; I believe it took roughly one week to get it all set up. Still, not all test cases were set up within that time period.
