Easy to use tool
What do you like best about the product?
Its very easy to use. UI elements are pretty much clear and a newbie will learn all by himself. Looking at the partitions for Post and get is very clear
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime takes time to read the response
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very much easy to use and it has improved my productivity overall completing my tasks. Manual work would take days which postman does in minutes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Appreciate postman team
APIs integrated to any type of business.
What do you like best about the product?
I can check performance and response times during development, testing or in the production environment for API endpoints. Support and price are very feasible elements of this software. It is simple to use and maintains a nice line of configuration, history visit and feasible HTTP requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the program to limit the use of API in accounts that are free, they should give a higher number in order to better visualize the result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For the development API is being used throughout the IT department. Workspaces like tabs, history, etc. are convenient for our management development. However the software has manifested itself as a multi-faceted tool with many tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it because the program is suitable for the achievement of objectives, has marked a great success and has been defended for many years with constant updates. Postman covers a huge amount of functions to achieve immediate process capture.
Postman is a great tool for tracking data from API but not as good as Insomnia
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple the UI is. It is very easy to set up an API call and it guides you through the possible fields that are in an API call. I like how it saves your past requests in the top bar like an internet browser does, allowing you to go back to requests you've made if you need to send them again. I think it is overall quite user friendly and does not take long to load up when I start the application.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not seem as versatile as Insomnia, which I prefer to use for testing API calls and data. Insomnia makes it easy to switch between environments, and lines up all of your API calls in a left hand pane, making it easy to switch between them since you can see their names. The top bar on Postman does get somewhat crowded if you have many requests saved. I also think it would be nice to see more color coding because it makes it easier to spot variables, inputs, input values. Perhaps a demo of how to use Postman would be useful to see when first downloaded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been testing out simple API calls that require authentication, different kinds of inputs to several different APIs. I usually use Insomnia but work with a team that uses Postman so have been using it to understand how they do their API calls. One thing that Postman does better though is they save a history of calls on the left hand bar which is helpful if you want to refer to a date you were working on something in particular. I have used this several times and it is good to refer to these logs in case the structure of data in the API changes and you would like to see the progression of data organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good for using if you care about past requests and log of when you did those API calls. Not as helpful for autocompleting requests
A true Postman Review
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use, I mainly use it test API calls to my local and kubernetes containers. Quite handy to save collections and env variables for different requests
What do you dislike about the product?
It's pretty solid, supports dark mode too. Just carshes sometimes unexpectedly on Mac during it's version/patch updates
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use it test API calls to my local and kubernetes containers. Helps me to test my code for all edge case scenarios.
API Developers Best Friend
What do you like best about the product?
You can create collections and requests that are specific for your given project so you can run through test cases. This application allows you as a developer to much more easily visualize and interact with your API, which results in better architecture, simpler design, and less problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of anything. The application has everything you need to handle and organize any sort of API call, all in a very user friendly and intuitive UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman solves the problem of an easy to use user interface that can be used to interact with APIs. The user interface benefits us humans to be able to easily make sense of and tinker with APIs that are intended to allow machines to communicate. For my purposes specifically, it's a user friendly Http client that allows me to test and troubleshoot API endpoints in order to build automation scripts and debug and gain clarity in cases of unexpected errors. It allows you to save information from each http call and keeps track of your requests so you don't have to waste time entering in the same info over and over, or have to remember how to set up a request that you haven't worked on in a while as it will still be saved/cached somehow. Greatly increases productivity as a result.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use collections to keep things organized. Use pre-request scripts to automate authorization.
Must have for API users
What do you like best about the product?
Postman has a very intuitive UI. It is easy to use and not confusing at all. They also have a very good support community where you can talk about your concerns and questions. They are answered quickly as well. On top of all this, it supports all sophisticated REST APIs which is icing on the cake. The best part is you get all of this at no cost to you. What else can you ask for? Also they continually improve the software which is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the fact that they discontinued the chrome webapp support. Previously you could run it right on your chrome browser(which everybody uses it anyways, these days) As most of the apis run on the web, you could previously just quickly switch tabs and try it out on postman. Now it runs as a separate app. This is a bit of inconvenience as it runs in a separate window and takes more resources of your computer. I hope they bring back the native chrome webapp support in near future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Api testing. Benefits have been increased revenues. The software does not break very often and third party vendors who use our API are happier resulting in long staying customers
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Adopt it. It is the best API management app in the market.It supports all REST APIs including the latest HATEos architecture. Also the software has a free plan so you have nothing to lose. There are no ads as well to distract you. They have a paid plan for $24 which is cheap in my opinion for an enterprise software.
Postman is probably the best Api testing tool.
What do you like best about the product?
User interface is pretty good compared to other testing tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Multiple api testing is still a limitation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I belong to an Automation team and in orders to trigger our bots we depend on Api, so it helps us to trigger the bot providing payload and the bot easily runs in unattended mode.
Well designed API Testing Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Postman tool is it creates a setup like the actual environment, so we can try a variety of test cases through it to analyse the overall functioning of API. We can use all types of API options like POST/PUT/GET/DELETE with either HTTP or HTTPS protocols. We can send and receive data in XML or JSON.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a heavy software, so it usually takes time to start. Also, this is not for beginners those who do not have much knowledge of API's functioning and testing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this tool to test RESTful API's which we have created for different services of our project. Postman let us try these API's as it was used in the actual environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are an experienced developer or tester looking for an API's management and creation tool, Postman is a good choice. You can use to verify your test cases created for the API with ease. Postman has all features to test an API like the actual environment.
Great tool for API call verification
What do you like best about the product?
As a non-programmer myself having a GUI tool that helps be verify that everything works before handing it to the customer is a big plus, no awkward moments of something non-working by a typo or a syntax error, if something is wrong I can ask for help from our engineers or fix it myself since the error messages are so easy to read
What do you dislike about the product?
API calls sometimes depends on the browser and many other factors I use it as a "no obvious errors" checkmark but our QA team does a bunch of tests before making sure it works, our engineers and me are only users of the API. Using Postman is a really cool tool but is not enough for a developer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a delivery manager, my main role is to deliver the service and explain it to our customers. I sometimes get ask technical questions and how to use the Meraki API that we use, Postman helps me understand and explain the use of our products without having to always resort to more technical focused people
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's not hard to use even if you are not a programmer or an engineer, learn the basics, and even if you are not able to write an API call you'll be able to understand it with no issues
