A Great Testing Tool

  • September 18, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ability to test RESTful services is essential to development. Postman offers the developer all the tools needed for testing. It is easy to set headers, including content types, and authentication. Run your POST or GET request and review the responses.

Postman also has a great organizational feature that lets you save your tests for different projects into folders for reuse in the future. I also like the fact that the tests I create are stored in the cloud for easy backup and recovery.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about this product. I have used it as a test tool for many years and will continue to use and recommend it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Postman to test REST services on my localhost as I develop them. It's easy to simulate authentications and payloads and then, in combination with a debugger in Visual Studio, step through code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I like using this tool in combination with Visual Studio and Xdebug to test API routes. I also like to save my tests for regression testing the routes when making changes to the project or the code. The pricing structure is also very fair.

Powerful API request management tool to stay organized

  • September 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can save requests into collections and use variables to manage the endpoint and auth credentials.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the duplicate function is a little funky, wish it was easier to clone a request and make a few edits and save the new request in the same collection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using postman to test our API, it's great for keeping a bunch of requests ready to use for testing.

Great way to test API responses

  • September 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to create an API call from Postman and has many major APIs integrated to make the queries easier to create. I work a lot with the Cisco Devnet API and it can be included with one click as well as any of the other APIs what I like the most is how easy is to get any of the frameworks and that they aren't included by default so I only get the ones I need for my job and can easily delete them if I don't need them anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is 100% compatible with terminal API calls and that is great, but not 100% with calls from the browser even when you put the browser string in postman the results may vary so you may need to double-check in the browser for specific API calls
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designing and Verifying API calls for the devices I manage
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not use it in a vacuum, download the API documentation of the target API and devices you want to use.

Best API suite for all product needs

  • September 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The postman application provides collections, history, creation of api and a runner.
This helps in creating mock server, monitoring and documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application is good but can be little better by lowering execution time for collection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Api documentation, automated tests, health and performance of API.
Mock server of my in development api's and accessing requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best API managment tool

Postman is an essential tool for API development

  • September 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the way Postman handles collections. I work on lots of different projects and it is very easy to organize API calls in groups.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that there is limited support for GraphQL queries. It can be done, but it is less intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Postman for planning and mocking APIs as I build back end services. I have found success in developing with fewer problems because I can test endpoints immediately.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The more you integrate Postman into your workflow the more effective it will be for you. Setting up your testing and mocks takes things to the next level.

Searching for Best API application ? Go for Postman..

  • September 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman helps in integrating several APIs like Google API, DnB and also some middleware API at an extensive ease.
The best part I like is we can export and import the APIs using programming language like Python,etc.
It can provide results with multiple responses as well.
And the UI here is the best I can say when compared to its alternates.
We can organize several APIs of same domain into some collections.
It is free to download.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think I can find a reason to dislike it. Each and every feature available is straight forward. The only thing I would like to suggest is to bring up the ability of running multiple APIs in parallel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to call the default APIs and also some middleware third party designed APIs from Postman.
It helped me in comparing the throughput of several APIs.
I use a lot of Post and Delete operations to test my application endpoints.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A highly recommended tool if you are searching for any API related application, and most commonly used by back-end developers.
Anyone couldn't find the best UI in any other software application for such an efficient purpose.
So just go for Postman and you will be amazed with your experience.

Invaluable tool for RESTful APIs

  • September 09, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Repeatable tests can be run in a sequential order without needing to write a script in a programming language and are easily imported and exported and results are logged for each test run and the resource utilization in the machine is low so several instances can be run in parallel. The collection runner has easily saved me half of my work week for the last 2 years giving me more free time to actually code since the tests are run so easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love Postman but as useful as it is it doesn't catch all bugs some problems are browser-related and unless you test directly on a browser even with postman interceptor. Having a plugin for each browser would make postman even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dealing with API calls after modifications and unit testing before a new feature goes live.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
By reading the documentation you can save yourself a few hours at worst I know I didn't and wished that I did it in time.

Great software for API testing and developing but with a few bugs

  • September 07, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a lot better than any other testing tool when interfacing with any API that interfaces with Databases in any way, you write your tests and they are highly reusable unless a new feature is introduced that changes the way you are using the API that makes the old version obsolete, it is a few minutes worth of testing instead of a few hours of writing tests (or finding them in old files) and then testing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know if my test cases are too exotic or if my operating system is broken or what is the issue but I have broken it several times to the point that I actually need to delete the program and reinstall it from scratch so it works as expected again. I have several PCs so not a real issue when I'm short of time but still a little annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API development and testing are faster when you can immediately test if what you are trying to do works as expected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you work with APIs, try this you won't regret it

Postman for basic API Testing

  • September 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a cross platform solution, available on Windows, Mac OS, or Linux distributions. You can login to your Postman account from an instance of the program running on any platform, and instantly sync settings, updates and changes that were made previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
A downside of Postman is that it can occasionally get into a bad state after running for sometime, where previous Request setups will no longer function as expected
( For example a POST parameter will continually fail to be included),
where you need to force kill the Postman process and any processes associated with it before restarting it.
A good idea is to periodically shutdown Postman, and to have a couple benchmark Request tests, that are known to be stable, to use as tests against Postman itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman is great at performing direct HTTP API Endpoint tests,
where you are mainly concerned with whether the proper response is given for a request and it parameters.
This can be much faster than spooling up some executable to run the HTTP requests on the API with a debugger, and you have full control over any headers, cookies, or additional data sent along with requests, unlike with most browsers.

Incredible platform to test APIs

  • September 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman allows me to save my collections freely, it allows me to create an account on its website and be able to synchronize my APIs, I like it a lot because it helps me to test APIs to be able to carry out my developments. It also allows you to create several workspaces. It is very practical because it can generate the code in various programming languages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphical interface is not the best, at first it cost me a lot to be able to save a request in a collection because the scroll was never seen and the request could not be saved. The space to place the variables is visually very small, which makes it very difficult to see if a mistake was made without the request failing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to test my REST APIs without the need to develop a REST client, this makes software development faster when REST APIs are programmed, you only need to have the endpoints of each API, and with POSTMAN you can test in a way quick and easy, saving the developer a lot of time. It also allows you to see the properties of the API, and helps to correct errors in case they exist
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very good program, you just have to be clear about the concepts of REST services and APIs in general, otherwise it will be very difficult to use it and understand how it works.
