Jira verdict

Still the right answer for large, process-heavy organisations. For teams under a hundred engineers the configurability is a cost, not a feature.

  • Models any process you can define
  • Deepest marketplace and integration ecosystem
  • Enterprise governance and audit capability

Postman verdict

The default API workbench. Decide deliberately whether your API contracts should live here or in your repository.

  • Ubiquitous: most engineers already know it
  • Strong testing and mocking capability
  • Documentation publishing is genuinely usable
