The rising of API era

  • May 10, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman is helping me to test cases for API testing as per my requirements and helps to build secure and better quality API's, the token limit helps to know the actual procedure itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
As per Me, I guess there is no or very less error faced by me through postman but for new users, it should be more friendly as per the in-app tutorials-based facility. Because when I started first, I had to surf bout it through youtube.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is not that complicated software and is an amazing tool to build and test API requests for our site, it is helping me and my team to create automation of API as well . Plus the quality of support is just amazing in terms of customer support.

Good stability and easy initial setup process

  • April 28, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for rest API testing purposes.

What is most valuable?

The solution's most valuable feature is code-based API testing. The technicians have complete control over the business logic code in the test tool.

What needs improvement?

Occasionally, a few variables get errors due to concurrent instances running simultaneously. They should improve this particular area. Also, providing more specific documentation on configuration would be helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability as a ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

I visit online forums for technical support in case of any errors.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used UFT earlier.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup process is straightforward. You must know about the required environment and security credentials for implementation. It needs two test automation engineers and one business analyst to execute and takes a few hours to complete.

I rate the process as an eight.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution's price is reasonable. We pay around £70 a month for it. I rate its pricing as one.

What other advice do I have?

I advise others to gain knowledge of JavaScript. It will help them use the solution's test automation framework with ease.

I rate the solution as a nine.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Easy API development and testing that's fast and user-friendly

  • April 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We used the solution in multiple ways, including:

1. We create Rest APIs for the communication of the front end to the backend. For the testing of those Rest APIs, we use Postman. It provides a user-friendly platform for API testing with all the request methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and many more. We can create our own collections like group requests. We can easily share the collection with the team.

2. We are using Postman to create the documentation of the REST APIs, which the backend team creates, so the frontend engineer can easily see the request type, headers, methods, and response body for the request.

3. It is also used as an API testing tool by the automation testing team. We can write our own tests with the assert statements in Postman after the response.

How has it helped my organization?

Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team.

It helps to share the Rest API documents with the front-end team so that they can easily integrate the API with the front-end.

It also helps in the monitoring of the APIs to check the health of an existing API.

It makes API development and testing faster and more user-friendly. It does not require any prior knowledge to work with the Postman.

It supports the GQL requests as well as the REST API.

What is most valuable?

It allows all the request methods like GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, COPY, OPTIONS, LINK, UNLINK, and many more.

It allows all types of authentication requests like API Key, JWT bearer, Basic OAuth, OAuth 2.0, Bearer token, and many more.

It allows us to set the environment variables as per our different environments, like QA1, QA2, STAGE, DEV, PERF, and UAT.

It allows you to write the pre-request script that runs prior to any API call.

It allows us to save requests in a collection and share the collection with the team.

What needs improvement?

There is no support for the SOCKET testing with Postman.

There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs.

Sometimes it crashes when a lot of collections are imported in a Postman.

There is no mechanism for parallel testing.

There is no scope for load testing like in JMeter.

There is low script reusability.

It does not support SMTP protocols; it only allows HTTP protocol.

It does not allow for a data-driven approach. It cannot get the data from a database and use it for testing purposes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Postman for the last three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is easy to use and is a lightweight solution. For the last three years it has been working perfectly fine, and we are using it for API development, API testing, and documentation to share with the front end.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We can easily use Postman for large projects. We can create collections - as many as we want - and share them as JSON, for example.

How are customer service and support?

There is a huge community of Postman users. I have never had a chance to connect directly with the support team of Postman as I get help online.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have been using Postman from the start as it is user-friendly and does not require any prerequisite language to use it.

How was the initial setup?

It's quite easy to set up. You simply download it and then install it and start using it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are using the free version as of now. However, the paid version allows users to create the workspace and share the common collection with more than four teammates.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Katalon as well.

What other advice do I have?

It is easy to use. However, it does not allow for Socket and SOAP API testing.

API testing with postman is simple

  • March 20, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can create a workspace for the whole team to collaborate and test the APIs. Switching between environments (local, dev, stage, prod) within the same collection without duplicating is a good feature. Automatically fetching auth tokens from token generating script is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good if postman could automatically load new bearer tokens whenever the existing permit is expired. Do we need the capability to run postman collections through Jenkins or any CI?CD pipelines easily without much configuration or using Newman.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman is helping in testing the APIs during development and after deployments. As a person from a non-technical background, it's pretty simple to operate postman and validate functionalities during Business Acceptance Testing.

  • February 03, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ui is so clean and so simple. Even it is an api testing app, but its kepting its ui so simple to get practised easily.

Also its basic version is free to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features are only available in paid version. I know they are making this app for their profit. So ultimately its not a negative comment. However if they could figure it out then we don't need to go for qny other tools in this category.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For api testing postman is a powerful and simple tool. Nowadays most of the companies are even recruiting softeare testing people by those who know postman.
