AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that AWS CloudTrail excels in API Monitoring with a score of 9.5, allowing for comprehensive tracking of API calls, while Postman also performs well in this area but with a slightly lower score of 8.8. Reviewers mention that the detailed logs provided by CloudTrail are invaluable for compliance and auditing purposes.
- Reviewers mention that Postman shines in API Testing, achieving a high score of 9.4, which is crucial for developers looking to ensure their APIs function correctly. In contrast, AWS CloudTrail's API Testing score is lower at 8.3, indicating that while it offers some testing capabilities, it may not be as robust as Postman's dedicated features.
- Users on G2 highlight the ease of use of Postman, with a score of 9.1, making it a favorite among developers for its intuitive interface. AWS CloudTrail, while still user-friendly, has a slightly lower ease of use score at 8.4, which some users feel could be improved for better accessibility.
- G2 users report that AWS CloudTrail's Change Management feature scores 8.9, which is beneficial for tracking changes in API configurations. Postman, however, does not have a comparable feature, which some users feel limits its capabilities in managing API lifecycle changes.
- Reviewers mention that AWS CloudTrail provides excellent Data Security with a score of 9.1, which is critical for organizations concerned about compliance and data integrity. Postman, while also strong in Data Security with a score of 8.6, does not match the comprehensive security features offered by CloudTrail.
- Users say that Postman's collaboration features, such as Design Management and Access Control, score well at 8.9 and 8.8 respectively, making it easier for teams to work together on API development. AWS CloudTrail lacks similar collaborative tools, which some users find limits teamwork efficiency.

Although with the latest update we can use postman to call SOAP APIs. But I have felt that this area needs more development as it is very difficult to call SOAP APIs from Postman. Maybe a similar kind of functionalities of SOAP UI in postman would be good.
