Postman for basic API Testing
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
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.
Great tool for testing APIs
What do you like best about the product?
I work a lot with meraki and webex APIs and without Postman my life would be significantly more miserable, writing test cases with postman is easy and quick and I don't need to remember all the methods nor type the full type of request, just write the first 2 or 3 letters and use the drop down to autocomplete, this is really important when doing tests of malformed request to make sure we catch all errors, it is possible to remember all type of requests but my life is much better knowing that I don't need to.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love Postman since it makes my life easier but it also brings a lot of new developers that don't know what they are actually doing, you should always learn the theory first and then use the tools to make your life easier and now a lot skip that part.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating API requests mainly, it is faster than doing it with an editor
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn how to use and write request before using Postman your coworkers will thank you for that
Postman for API testing is wow!
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of the Postman tool makes it superb for API testing for beginners. It has handy documentation and lots of features to GET/PUT JSON or XML responses from Web Applications. You can throughly test your APIs on demand! Comes as an app and browser extension with is cool!
What do you dislike about the product?
Debugging an API can be pain for beginners and some tools based on Machine Learning that can give auto-suggestions on mistakes based on response code of API will help beginners fix their APIs faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making API testing seamless and share results of API tests with the team. Improving team productivity with Automated API testing. Postman’s Collections is truly a useful feature when it comes to saving time and making testing process shareable. Collections let you organize requests you make in Postman. They also form the basis of other useful features like monitors, mock stubbing and building out software documentations. Its amazing!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try this tool out if you haven't already! Its gonna be great decision trust me!
Postman Helps With Interface Development
What do you like best about the product?
Ability of Postman to generate code based on a given POST/GET configuration
What do you dislike about the product?
It took a lot of trial and error at first to get configurations to work. I would like a user-friendly wizard that walks you through the configuration. Not a help document or a tooltips -- I'm talking about a wizard that asks questions and sets up the configuration as you go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating data integration services and programs. Postman allows me to do early prototypes and proof of concept analyses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn about REST / SOAP first, and spend some time learning how to use the tool.
Great App I’ve been using for HTTP requests for years
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it keeps my requests saved and organized in my account. I can access these from any number of devices. While they don’t have their own mobile app, there are apps that utilize their API so that I can use my saved requests on the go as well.
The UI is well laid out and I find it easy to make new requests and format the request how I need it quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. They’ve refined the app a lot. It could be more clear what type of encoding it is using on POST requests as I sometimes forget to specify.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to test and debug my companies internal and external APIs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try!
Postman is the best tool to test webAPI
What do you like best about the product?
I love postman's ease of use and accuracy. It is very easy to send over and receive a text in JSON format. It is easy to send GET, POST, PUT requests. I love the "collaborate with your team" feature. I have used that feature the most till now. Our team had one space where they could add tests, check the health of the requests, and use it debug errors. Recently I have also found my self using the lessons on using the tool a lot. It has clear instructions on how to use the tool to debug our product. We used it on a social networking website that encourages users to challenge each other on silly and fun games or dares.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the POSTMAN gives the user a detailed review of the network connection health. I did not like that there is not enough error data when testing like is the server connected or not. The POST request was received by the server or not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Postman to test the web API by sending requests and expecting the results back on the server the company has personally established. I love the documentation for Postman. It is very easy to understand and very comprehensive. It provides an environment for users to test their API's functionality, efficiency, and data accuracy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please do use Postman to check if the GET, POST, and other requests on your personal servers that deal with customer's interaction with the websites.
