What do you like best about Postman?

Having utilized Postman for over a year and a half as a backend developer, I can attest to its indispensable role in my backend development journey.

Postman has been a support for me in backend development. Its intuitive interface made it easy for me to dive in, even as a beginner. I find myself using it frequently for everything from basic API testing to advanced tasks like WebSocket and gRPC integration. Postman's simplicity and reliability make it my go-to tool every day, whether I'm working solo or collaborating with teammates.

One more thing is you're capable of creating environmental variable in collection scope and global scope. So, no need to changing values on multiple places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

While it was easy to use, but there is a downside that the documentation is not user friendly for begginer. In the beginning when I had to read the documentation regarding Mock test, it was somehow difficult to understand what the writer wants to say. I had to take the help of available blogs on other sites.

Please update the documentation and make it simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem it solved it you can test the APIs smoothly with a better UI interface, and can create and share the collection with teammates easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

I have used Postman for API testing for my Java project. It is very helpful for backend API testing, also there are multiple ways in which we can send and receive our data from the API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

It is GUI intensive and it has limited offline functionality.

Apart from this, the documentation of the errors that occurred should be properly written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Suppose you are a Full Stack Developer or someone who is working on the backend, You are working on a project that has some API's and you want to test whether the dataset received from the API is correct or not, The Postman tool will help you a lot, apart from this, If you have integrated Security to your Website or Backend It Also allows you to pass the tokens and the params necessary for your API.

What do you like best about Postman?

Postman is good platform to do Api testing. We can collaborate and test the Modules with team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Postman helps us to collaborate and test any number of modules.

1.Only thing I expect along with the collaboration is that 2accounts get created, one of individual and other one is collaborate account. It would be good if we can maintain the same account with personal docs and collaborated docs in the same page differentiated by some icon or something.

2.Along with this, it would be good if there is an easy way to generate an automation api testing.

3. The ease of setup is bit difficult for a new user as webapp and desktop app consist of different accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postman helps us to do Api testing before implementing Client, which helps developer to do 1layer of testing before integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

A user-friendly interface that simplifies testing APIs efficiently. Clean UI, easy to use which makes the life of testing APIs easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

There is a learning curve, initially, when I started using Postman I found myself looking into the documentation more than what I could think of. Also, I get too many notifications, which I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postman has solved so many problems that I used to face before adopting.

Like, for the API testing, I used to use command line tools like curl and wget. Now with Postman, with its simple interface, I can easily send requests, get responses, and make sure that everything is working fine.

Easily switching between different environments and having variables support which can be used in request headers etc., are life-saving. Being a Python backend developer, who builds the APIs too frequently, Postman makes my life easier.

Also, documenting APIs was a painful task for me, but now with Postman, I'm able to generate documentation easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

I primarily use PostMan as a means to test internal systems via REST API Calls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

I dont like that I now am required to create a log in to fully use the product, but I do see the benefits of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Although there are other tools availble for the work I do (ie SOAPUi). PostMan is free for use. It does require a user login to fully utilize the tool and it's feature like Collections and Environments. The nice feature with the login for PostMan is that your "loaded" API Collections follow you where you are logged in. As a trainer I work locally for some projects and on others (the majority of the time) , I am using a Virtual Machine. All I have to do is open PostMan and log in and everything is "loaded" and ready for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

There are lots of tools for api testing, but none of them provide integration for proxy and more collaboration-based functions, like the ability to export all collections to JSON and import other collections. They have really good user-friendly interfaces, and the best thing I feel is pre-request scripts. Pre-request scripts are really helpful for me as a pentester. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

When we try to import a large collection, most of the time it will crash if you have low specs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shearing API endpoints,knowledge and requests from the development team to the security team will be kind of hard if post-man doesn't exist. and getting the requests in burpsutes( a testing application) will never happen without  postman proxy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

Easily organize many APIs and their endpoints, the ability to use placeholders and set environments, automatic prettifying JSON (input). Good support for different types of authentication, very clean UI, just works very efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Rendering large JSON responses can get a bit slow, no numbering of JSON items in a list when collapsing (no easy way to see e.g. number of items in response).

Sharing with team members is a paid feature.

The editor to add documentation is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to quickly test API endpoints with different settings & environments.

Document how to use APIs and individual endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

First point is it has very much user friendly interface which makes anybody to understand the UI easy and for developers it will be toooo easy to create, test and manage API's.

I loved the option to export and import the API's, Import usin CURL is super cool thing followed by others.

Collections are very helpful.

It helps in debugging. For example, we have intergration between our enterprise application to Mulesoft..But its difficult to find the error using enterprise application but same errors can be easily caught in the postman tests.Loved it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Limited graphQL support and I'm very much sure that your development team must be on it. Everything else looks so good so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing to dislike about it. It is better than other softwares like Insomnia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

With the help of this we can reuse the cookies later which is very beneficial and time saving. It has the best authentcation protocol like OAuth 2 which is very secure. With the collection feature all the Api can be managed easily. When working with the big team it is easy to share the environments and collections with other co-workers.

What do you like best about Postman?

Postman is a very simplified tool to execute API requests and their different operations like GET, PUT and POST. It is very easy to install and also learn, even for a new user. We use it almost thrice a week to execute different REST and SOAP APIs using JSON and XML request formats, and then validate the responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Now, Postman has made its services chargeable, with licenses, if you want to save the existing requests in workspaces. So, that is one issue. Other than that, rest everything is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postman is a very good tool to accomplish API request and response validations. Moreover, this also helps in testing API automation, with tools like Selenium to verify if the API endpoint is returning correct values or not. Instead of worrying about the slow load of front-end applications, it is easier to just validate the backend services of APIs using Postman, hence that saves a lot of time and effort.
