What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Postman feels a bit heavy and can slow down when working with large collections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman helps me quickly test and debug APIs without having to write extra code or set up complex tools. It makes it easy to send requests, check responses, and catch errors early, which saves a lot of time during development.
A Must Have Tool for Everyday API Testing for both frontend as well as backend developer.
What do you like best about the product?
Postman makes it easy to test, debug, and collaborate on APIs. The user interface is clean, even if you’re new to APIs, you can get started quickly. I especially appreciate how simple it is to organise requests, share collections with teammates. Postman is my day to day primary stack for testing API as a backend developer. I am in love with postman.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, Postman can feel a bit heavy and slow, especially when working with large collections or bulk data. The desktop app occasionally uses more memory than I'd expect. The learning curve for using advanced features, like GraphQL and WebSockets, can be a challenge for beginners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman is solving the problem of quickly and efficiently testing, debugging, and documenting APIs. Before using Postman, managing API requests involved manual writing, switching between tools, and a lot of tedious setup. With Postman, I can easily organize endpoints, and validate responses, all in one place. This saves me a ton of time during development and makes teamwork much smoother because sharing collections and environments is simple.
An Essential Part of My API Testing Toolkit
What do you like best about the product?
As an API pentester, Postman is my go to for organizing an attack. The best part is building a full collection for a target API and then quickly swapping variables to test for bugs like IDOR or broken access control. Being able to change a user token or an ID across dozens of saved requests with one click is a massive time-saver compared to messing with cURL commands all day.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the app can feel a bit slow, but I suspect that has more to do with my PC than with Postman itself. My machine has a bit less RAM, and you can feel Postman working it hard when you have a lot going on. It's a powerhouse of a tool, so I guess it needs the resources to match.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem Postman solved was how messy and slow my work used to be. I had to use the command line and text files, which was a real pain. Postman put everything in one organized place. The best benefit is how much time I save—what used to take minutes now only takes a few seconds.
Use of postman as a frontend web developer in my day to day work life
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been using Postman for a while now, and it’s honestly made my life as a frontend developer so much easier. It lets me quickly hit APIs, inspect responses, and debug issues without jumping into the code right away. I like that I can save different environments and requests, which makes switching between dev, staging, and production super smooth. I use it mostly for the collections of backend. I am using it almost daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am using web portal of it for getting backend responses, collections generally. Sometimes the submit buttons get disabled without any reason and also getting issues in file upload also. It works fine for desktop.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman helps me quickly test and validate API endpoints without having to write extra code in my project

Automated testing optimizes API workflow and collaboration
What is our primary use case?
I use Postman Enterprise for testing APIs in my day-to-day work. I have a workspace with specific API requests, and I am using that workspace to test our API endpoints. I examine what kind of requests we are sending, what kind of errors we are receiving, and the logs. Based on those requests, I write tests, and from those tests, I can understand if our API is working correctly. Based on the logs I get in the tests, I can easily write a report for our engineering team to check if there are ongoing issues with our current platform, our current endpoint, and why it is happening according to the logs.
In my team, we use it only for testing different case scenarios for different endpoints.
Postman Enterprise is efficient because if you write 10 different requests, and then need to write similar requests with only a few variable or parameter changes, you can duplicate that set of requests and modify what needs to be changed. You can extract the whole workspace in a JSON file and modify it easily with different tools, then import that updated JSON file back to Postman Enterprise. You can duplicate the whole workspace, and one workspace can have 10,000, 20,000, or even more requests where in the new workspace you just need to change access or different case scenarios.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is that you can set a collection of requests and run that collection in an automated way. For example, with 200 requests, you run the collection, and each request will run sequentially, where you can easily create or test several different scenarios. Additionally, in each request, you can define a test to see if your request was successful as planned, or if that request followed the procedures written for our API.
It is straightforward if you have all access tokens and necessary access to the API provider itself. With access tokens, refresh tokens, or authorization set up in place, it takes just a couple of clicks to integrate Postman Enterprise with this environment.
I can set up environment variables quickly, so I have my pre-written variables in place. I can easily link them to each request without hard-coding any data or variables as they are read from the environment variables. You can duplicate the entire list of variables, change different naming, and they are ready for different sets of requests. The bundle of requests runs quickly in an automated way, and they execute in the order you specify. You can check the logs and terminal logs to see what is happening in the background, and easily connect Postman Enterprise with your API if you have the proper access keys. The visualization allows you to quickly notice and search the parameters, error types, or specific items. You can extract the JSON file of your workspace, check it with different tools, look for errors and improvements, and then import that JSON file back to Postman Enterprise to continue working on that set of requests, or send it to colleagues who can work on the same requests without writing them from scratch.
What needs improvement?
Since I am using the free tier, one improvement would be to increase the number of requests you can send in a short time period. Currently, if I send 200-300 requests in a short period, Postman Enterprise requires a 30-second wait before sending another bundle of requests unless you upgrade to a higher tier.
Secondly, Postman Enterprise sometimes takes several minutes to load the whole workspace. With 2,000-3,000 requests in a workspace, it can take a minute or two to load all requests. When creating a new workspace and moving requests between workspaces, depending on internet speed, it can take a longer period to copy those requests or workspace from one place to another.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Postman Enterprise for two years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It depends on various factors. Sometimes it can be slightly buggy. It might skip requests and relies on internet connection, but even with perfect internet connection, it can occasionally have glitches. In my two years of usage, I only experienced one global incident with Postman Enterprise, which was announced and fixed within minutes or perhaps half an hour. It is a pretty stable solution.
I opened one case during a global incident, and they replied quickly to inform me about the situation. They updated us via their global incident platform. The process was straightforward.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is quite scalable from my perspective because you can create different workspace scenarios in seconds. I can quickly extend my testing area by duplicating and copy-pasting different workspaces and environments, then adjusting what needs to be adjusted. However, I cannot speak to scalability for different Postman Enterprise purposes on a broader scale.
How are customer service and support?
I opened one case during a global incident, and they replied quickly to inform me about the situation. They updated us via their global incident platform. The process was straightforward.
In my experience with only one case in less than two years, I would rate their service 10 out of 10 because everything was super fast and professional.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I personally used RapidAPI before.
Postman Enterprise is superior because you can create several different environments with pre-written variable environments for different use cases. You can switch environments to connect to different instances of your platform or client partners. You can test various scenarios quickly with the same request, which is not possible in Paw currently. Paw and RapidAPI are lightweight versions. Postman Enterprise allows you to write scripts for checking your requests through test scripting, which I believe RapidAPI does not offer. These features motivated my transition from Paw to Postman Enterprise.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is straightforward if you have all access tokens and necessary access to the API provider itself. With access tokens, refresh tokens, or authorization set up in place, it takes just a couple of clicks to integrate Postman Enterprise with this environment.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Postman Enterprise 8 out of 10. Based on my experience with one support case in less than two years, I would give them a perfect score because everything was handled quickly and professionally.
