Easy to setup and use - that's postman for you

  • June 29, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to install and user-friendly design. I was a novice when I initially installed Postman. But I noticed it was super easy to navigate the program and I was able to run a query with very limited help.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I don't like about Postman.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using Postman to connect to TFS. Using the encrypted credentials, I am able to program within SAP to establish connectivity to TFS and get information regarding tickets created on the portal.

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very easy to navigate. You can open multiple tabs and try out different API requests simultaneously. The application also has history of services tried.
The payload can be added in different formats like JSON, Raw Test, XML etc., and the authentication tokens can also be added in headers. It has almost everything a developer working on web services would want.
If you are a back-end guy, you must have this.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application takes significant time to open. It takes as much time as Eclipse on a few occasions.
I did not have any other issues with Postman. Their developer community is very active and you can add a request if you see any feature that you expect is missing from their latest version of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a full-stack engineer and I use Postman specifically to validate the web services I have exposed from the backend.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a backend engineer, try the application for sure.

A steep learning curve is required because of the many options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Postman for a long time to intercept the request response from REST Apis. It is rather a required tool for our organization. It helps immensely.

What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive UI and the ability to make different directories to store scripts and the use of variables.

I don't like that there is a restriction on the number of directories (workspaces) you can have in the free tier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Smoke and regression tests for API endpoints. Postman is very good at generating scripts in any programming language to test http methods.

What do you like best about the product?
The desktop app is really well thought. All HTTP methods and formats are supported. GraphQL is a plus.

I don't like the fact that you have to install an app to start working with Postman: I would love a web page similar to Postwoman or an easier installation process in Gnome using the Software app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing HTTP REST API, and GraphQL API in the development phase.

Test your API using Postman

  • June 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very friendly.
It is possible save and share collections
Possibility to document your API
History by API
Multiples workspace
Capture Request and cookies
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of option, maybe for beginner developers could be confused.
Sometimes the tool become slow..
When you open the application it is slow and takes time to load
There isn't a quick tutorial with videos about their use.
Sometimes editing the collection is tied to Postman, i.e. for changes you will need to import, edit, and then export to the project repository
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems:
Sometime the response times are different.
You must know Json Format
You Must know how Authorization a API using: Bearer Token, OAuth1, OAuth2, etc.


Benefits:
I Can do manually all the requests.
I perform test and debug the API
I can document the API
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend postman either in web version or desktop version to test and debug the rest APIs. So far I have not seen a tool that has all the functionalities of postman. At the beginning it was a bit confusing due to the lack of knowledge of the tool, but there are many pages like stackoverflow where they solve doubts or problems. In addition to this, on YouTube there are many tutorial videos where they explain how to use it.

The best productivity software for APIs

  • June 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have been working on a lot of APIs from several sides and Postman has helped me a lot to organize the APIs, create different environments, and test cases in a fast and effective way.
Working with a team of backend and frontend engineers, Postman has been a super important tool to communicate things between team members. It allowed us to keep sync all our work and make clear every endpoint we have. It's part of our daily work and one of my favorite tools!
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the documentation for basic things like send and receive data to endpoints is good, but there are other things like creating different environments, and Test Cases that are not well documented. I had to find examples on other websites and communities to be able to complete our validations, for instance using Ajv for validations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organize my endpoints by folders according to my structures, creating different environments, pass data from one endpoint to others, create tests to make sure the responses are always as expected. All of this tasks are so easy thanks to Postman
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely you have to give an opportunity to Postman and use it not only for the basics flows, but implementing environment vars and test cases. They will help you a lot on your daily basis tasks.
