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."We use it to build API proxies for securing targeted back-ends with an emphasis on Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD)."
"I think the most valuable features are the security features. Of course, the user access control is the same as the security. The other very important issue is the sandboxing capability of Apigee."
"We have been using Apigee mostly for proxy FGIs. We also use its security features as well as traffic control features."
"I have found the most valuable features to be tracing a proxy, and managing proxy versions and revisions via the Edge UI component."
"Apigee is relatively easy to use for developers."
"Apigee has better scalability than WSA."
"One of the best parts of this solution is the implementation as we did not need to use code or out-of-box policies. When it comes to the cloud-based architecture, there is a high level of reliability."
"The tool is one of the earliest API management products and is good. It reduces the Time To Market aspects of products."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It is a stable solution."
"I don't have any notes for improvement."
"It would be good if the Apigee management allowed us to be able to consolidate many operations into single one for the gateway functionality."
"The company needs to better support webhooks. It used to support webhooks and their policies and they have since stopped. They had some issues in the product and they abandoned the support for them. It's not come back since."
"The initial setup is not straightforward, particularly for hybrid solutions."
"We've encountered challenges in leveraging Connect functionality, prompting us to explore additional tools, such as Fergus, to address implementation and security issues."
"Google isn't enthusiastic about supporting older versions. Google is now trying to move all of its clients to X within the cloud."
"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."
"We are experiencing issues with automation; the production in Apigee is quite time-consuming."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"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."
"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."
"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"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."
"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."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
