Postman - The AI-native API Platform

What do you like best about the product?

I use Postman for API testing. With Postman, I can hit any endpoint directly, so I don’t need to create a UI first and then integrate it just to create an API endpoint and test it. I’ve set up multiple environments like dev, stage, and prod, and I can easily switch between environments when needed. I can also save environment variables such as cookies and API keys in the header, and then test all of our API endpoints. Postman shows the API response details, including the status code, headers, and response time, which helps me debug issues before moving our code to production so we can fix things before pushing code to production.

What do you dislike about the product?

This is a heavy, resource-intensive app, and my system sometimes lags when I’m using it. When I need to test multiple APIs at the same time, the tab management also isn’t great. Things get cluttered quickly, and then when I try to find a specific endpoint, I end up getting lost in all the tabs. It wastes my time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

In Postman, I can save multiple APIs and then find them anytime. I can also store them on the Postman website and share them with my team. I can add a secret key in the header when calling of api endpoint and verify the proper API endpoint response using Postman, so we don’t need to create a UI and then test it from the frontend. I can categorize my API endpoints as well and set up environments like development, stage, and production, then easily switch between environments as needed. This helps me a lot and saves a lot of time.

What do you like best about the product?

I really like how Postman supports teamwork. I can share an API request, and the backend team that builds the API can work on it and provide the endpoints we need. That lets us test everything before integrating it into the application, so we can catch specific errors or issues early. I also find the initial setup very straightforward and easy to get started with.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes Postman throws errors but doesn’t make it clear where they’re actually coming from. That’s frustrating because it also doesn’t really point me toward how to fix them. I’ve also noticed that using the same account on different devices can show different requests—for example, a folder might not appear, or updated requests don’t show up—so I end up having to clear cookies (or do something similar) just to confirm whether any changes were made to the API. On top of that, it’s a hassle that there’s no simple refresh button to quickly pull in and view those changes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Postman for API testing. It lets my team collaborate by sharing requests and running tests on APIs before we integrate them into the application. This makes it easier to spot and fix errors early, without needing to deploy first.

Easy to use, User friendly interface and helpful

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing I found to be dislike, using this

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postman is solving API fragmentation, manual testing inefficiencies, and poor team collaboration.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Postman is how easy it makes API testing and debugging. I can quickly create and send requests, inspect responses, manage different environments, and validate API behavior without needing to write a lot of code. Features like collections, environment variables, request history, testing APIs efficiently.

What do you dislike about the product?

I haven't yet used postman for scripting, so till now i haven't noticed any drawbacks in my case however i have heard it is bit hectic to do it, regardless i will utilize it. Few notable things i dislike about postman is when a duplicate curl is created and changes are made to it, sometimes those changes are resetted. Additionally sometimes out of nowhere even though the application not started it gets auto-open in middle of my work. which is a bit frustrating.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postman help me with API testing and debugging much easier by allowing me to quickly send requests, check responses, and identify issues without depending on the UI. It helps me validate API functionality, test different scenarios and payloads, troubleshoot errors, and verify backend changes efficiently. It also makes it easier to organize requests and maintain reusable test collections.

It helps with backend api debugging and testing. Makes the process a lot easier

What do you like best about the product?

It’s a generous application for testing whether an API is working, including encryption and decryption details. The collections are easy to manage, and since it’s open source, everyone can use it and benefit from the wider community when resolving issues.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it lags. If a request doesn’t reach the server, it still produces a response, and the visualization isn’t good for that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to test whether the API is working and up. It helps me check that all APIs are working properly under the right conditions.

What do you like best about the product?

It's a fairly stable product and does what it says

What do you dislike about the product?

It's too expensive. Also, I was recently charged an extortionate amount afetr not using the product for over a year. Apparently by an "auto renew" which I had no idea was in place. They are refusinbg to refund

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

None

What do you like best about the product?

I use Postman mainly for testing and debugging REST APIs necessary for running the backend applications for my websites. I appreciate the authentication features with requests and headers that Postman provides, such as basic authentication, bearer token authentication, SSH, and OAUTH based authentication. These features increase the security review of my application, making it more viable against vulnerabilities and increasing its reliability. The ability to structure requests easily and integrate with AI agents and MCP servers for debugging is also a standout feature for me. Additionally, setting up Postman was a breeze, as it took only minutes to download and create a project collection.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think Postman could improve if it had a database testing agent and features for handling SQL injections.

What do you dislike about the product?

One limitation I've experienced with Postman is that managing large API collections and environments can become difficult as projects grow. When working with multiple AI services and backend APIs, collections can get cluttered, making navigation and maintenance more time-consuming. In addition, collaboration features like advanced governance, reporting, and workspace management are more useful in the paid plans, which can be limiting for smaller teams. Overall, these are minor drawbacks, and they don't outweigh the value Postman provides for API development and testing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Postman solves the challenge of validating and debugging APIs before they are integrated into our applications. In our AI-powered insurance document processing project, I use it to test APIs for document uploads, policy data extraction, authentication, and backend integrations. It allows me to quickly verify request and response data, identify issues early, and ensure APIs work correctly before deployment. This has reduced debugging time, improved API reliability, and accelerated the delivery of AI features, resulting in a more stable and efficient development process.
