Founder and Software Engineer Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Reliable All-in-One Tool for Modern API Development" December 12, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Postman has been very positive. After more than three years of regular use, it has proven to be a reliable and efficient tool for developing and testing multiple REST APIs, and more recently, a GraphQL API. Its consistency, versatility, and maturity make it a dependable part of my daily development workflow. Pros Postman is an effective all-in-one tool for API development, supporting REST, GraphQL, and gRPC in a single interface. It streamlines the entire API workflow from building and testing requests to documentation and automation without requiring multiple tools. Environment management, scripting, and collaboration features make it efficient for both individual developers and teams. Cons The main limitation in for me is the lack of a fully functional offline mode. Many features depend on an active internet connection, which can be restrictive in low-connectivity environments or when working offline. Alternatives considered [Apidog](https://www.capterra.com/p/10019054/Apidog/) Reason for choosing Postman I chose Postman because it offers a more mature, stable, and polished experience compared to alternatives like Apidog. Postman’s interface, feature depth, and overall reliability better support complex, long-term API development workflows, making it more effective for everyday professional use.

It’s one of those tools that feels indispensable once you’re used to it. Despite some performance quirks, it’s the gold standard for API work for a reason. It just works. Pros It completely eliminates the guesswork in API development. I can test endpoints, debug responses, and automate entire workflows without ever leaving the app. The collaboration features are a lifesaver – sharing a collection with a teammate is instant, and everyone always has the latest version. It’s made working with APIs faster and way more reliable. Cons The app can be a serious memory hog, especially with large workspace or long-running sessions. I also miss the simplicity of the older versions sometimes; the constant push toward the web app and new features can make it feel bloated. The learning curve for advanced scripting is also pretty steep. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Tester Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "FRUSTRATING, Mandatory registration !" July 30, 2025 1.0 FRUSTRATING experience ! I would never ever recommend anyone to create an account to test something as simple as API. My usage is about once a month in last 12 months and forcing me to login is something I DO NOT WANT. Since they DO not have any feedback system, I am wasting so time to find a place to send them a message. POSTMAN used to be great please remove mandatory registration. Pros It is a good software, provides quick results for testing APIs and debugging things. Somewhat easy to use. I didn't need to read any documentation to use it. Cons FORCED ACCOUNT CREATION ! For testing a simple API they want to track your account. ONE OF THE WORST USER EXPERIENCE !!!!! I have been looking for a replacement for a long long time. Review Source Parsa G. AI Data and Insight Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effortless API Testing tool" August 27, 2025 5.0 Overall, Postman provides a positive experience with its user-friendly design, efficient API testing features, and robust capabilities, despite a slight learning curve for beginners. Pros Postman simplifies API testing with an intuitive interface, easy JSON data retrieval, and integrated testing capabilities. Cons The interface can sometimes be confusing, especially for beginners, leading to a steeper learning curve when trying to navigate and utilize all features effectively. Review Source BA Bashir A. Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "API Endpoints Testing tool for developers" October 15, 2025 5.0 I have been using Postman for two years, and it has helped me test the API's before using them in the application. The results have helped me to analyze and then modify my code if required depending on the requirements. Pros The setup for postman is very simple, and it is also available on various platforms like the desktop application or a website. Data could be sent to the server in different formats like Text, JSON, form-data, etc. Collaboration with other developers is also possible in Postman. Cons It can’t have HTML page viewer in the results along with the HTML code. Apart from this, I find Postman as a very useful tool for testing API's. Review Source VB Vittal B. Chief Product and Strategy Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Postman our choice for API testing and collaboration" June 6, 2025 5.0 Our dev and QA groups now work on the same system. This cut integration bugs by 50% and onboarding of new engineers became faster everything is documented and you can share. Pros It's the heart and soul of our development. From writing test suites, to simulating endpoints to sharing collections with QA, it’s a game changer for how rapid we can iterate our APIs. Cons It is a bit resource heavy on the system and the workspace permissions can be a bit restrictive toward cross team visibility. Review Source SP Stuart P. Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Budding dev finds it useful" July 9, 2025 5.0 Used on and off for about 7 years, from testing other people's end points, testing integrations and starting my own journey in developement. Pros As a budding developer I can try my endpoints without having to build any UI, saving me time and effort. Cons Sometimes authentication can be a little frustrating for a beginner - bearer token implementation especially. Review Source DP Dinesh P. Software Developer Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Reliable Tool for Testing and Debugging APIs" May 27, 2025 5.0 Used Postman while building a REST API for a personal project. It helped me test endpoints quickly and spot errors without writing extra code. The ability to save requests and reuse them saved me time and effort. Pros Easy to test APIs, clean UI, and useful features like collections, environments, and response previews. Cons It slow down with large projects and collections. Some advanced features are locked behind a paid subscription. Review Source Parth S. QA Automation engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Postman : A Powerful API testing software" January 7, 2025 5.0 Overall I like to use Postman to test my APIs and it is really helpful to write some scripts and Automate the process. Pros The Postman UI is very user-friendly and easy to adapt for new learners. It is the best application for performing all kinds of API testing. Cons Integrating with other applications and creating automation tools is more difficult than other API testing software. Review Source LT Linze T. IT Support Officer Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool" August 25, 2025 5.0 Pros I like that you can save workspaces with method submissions and different header values or authorisation keys. It returns values very quickly and formats documents nicely. Cons Bit of a learning curve with customising everything to save or setting up workspaces efficiently but nothing too major. Review Source RS Rohan S. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Must-Have Tool for API Development, Testing and Collaboration" November 27, 2024 5.0 I've been using Postman for a long time now, and I’ve had a great experience with it. It has made my life as a developer much easier. Pros Postman simplifies the process of creating, testing, and documenting APIs. The APIs can be organized into Collections, which makes managing requests and documenting them easier and effortless. Workspaces enable efficient team collaboration, making it a versatile tool for both individual and collaborative development. Cons There's nothing I dislike about Postman. While the free tier has some limitations for collaboration, it hasn't been an issue for me. Review Source GK Guy K. Solution Architect Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Beginner friendly API debugging tool" March 2, 2025 4.0 Pros It's been fantastic to help testing API calls to Microsoft Graph for me that I had difficulty using Graph Explorer or other MS tools. It's helped with structuring calls for my Power Automate Premium license Cons I don't use it in a manner where I have encountered cons just yet. My particular role does not use it for large scale scripting, API calls or need to collaborate Review Source FA Fabrizio A. Technician Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Postman for API" September 11, 2024 4.0 I use Postman to connect via API to firewall (and send commands). I like the interface and how it works. I usually write in Json and Postman helps me in avoiding mistakes. You should try Postman, you'll like it. Pros Postman can be used online but also installed on you pc. I actually I use it with my google account (so registration is fast). It's really useful when you need interaction via API, the interface is clean and easy to understand and the program runs smooth. Documentation is avalaible on internet. In the main page you see your recent works, you can have many sessions using tabs (you can also see the history just clicking on the icon on the left). Postman is free but you can also have paid plans in case of need (e.g. unlimited collaboration members). Cons Nothing to report about, a really good product, higly recommended Review Source PP Piotr P. QA Automation Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A user-friendly, comprehensive API testing tool" June 10, 2022 5.0 I must admit that Postman is the best API testing tool I encountered up till now. It is comprehensive, with a load of features and great documentation. I don't recall any bugs with it throughout the years and despite I tried a variety of other software I always came back to Postman. Import and exports in the program are ridiculously easy. Requests, snippets, and even collections may be imported/exported with a couple of clicks. It makes configuration sharing incredibly simple. With its clarity and ease of use, it is worth trying! Pros The thing I like most about Postman is its clarity and ease of use. All basic functionalities are visibly described and ready to run within a couple of seconds. HTTP requests are the most important thing in the software, and they are working correctly, without any bugs. Of course, all requests are fully customizable, starting with core items like headers, authorizations, query parameters, and different payload types, through more advanced, such as scripts executed before the request and tests run after the response is received, finishing on the most advanced items like requests settings (e.g. following redirects) and cookies management. User can save requests and their configuration in collections, which makes rerunning tests and requests fast and organized. The possibility to define environments and APIs reduces the necessity of switching between different accounts or even rewriting needed data. A user can add documentation using defined requests and even comments describing e.g. TODO details. Also, automatic HTTP code snippet generation is extremely useful, especially when various languages are used on the backend side. The paid version of the tool offers more functionalities, like sharing the work between teams or constant API monitoring, which influence everyday work simplifying it significantly. The price is not too exorbitant, so it should not be a problem for the majority of companies. I also like the documentation, which contains all the necessary information. Cons To tell the truth, I cannot really find any flaws in Postman. I am working with it for over 3 years and I don't recall any problems or bugs with it. The only thing that can be better is the history of executed requests. It would be useful to be able to store more records from the past.

January 11, 2023 4.0 Positive. There's not really another app that does what Postman does as well as it does it, so will continue to use it. Great job to the Developers; they've built something that's highly useful to a large number of people! Pros It's become our go-to software for developing, testing/debugging and deploying APIs to our AWS Cloud infrastructure accounts. We work in several distributed teams where the code gets written quickly and changed frequently, so we're members of a Postman workspace where the requests update automatically after they're saved (probably my favorite feature). Cons Workspaces have a limited number of seats, and it gets expensive quickly. Environment variables in a shared workspace get messy quickly, and there's no way to search or pin them if you're dealing with 100+ of them. Their docs on variables and their JavaScript API is a little confusing and don't work exactly as they describe them, especially when writing integration tests. There have been times where we've lost variables we've saved, and we had to start backing them up offline and re-importing them.

I can run it thru its website or thru its app. Both work very well without any issues. Pros In Postman we can save complete information about our APIs like request method, content type, header, and request payload, etc. So it becomes very easy to look at APIs structure and test those.It supports most of the authentication types like Basic Auth and OAuth. We can quickly and easily import and export APIs from and in Postman. This makes development fast as we can share API details with other team members. Cons I don't have anything to dislike about Postman. It really works very well. Review Source AS Alex S. Head of Integrations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The essential tool for anyone working with APIs" September 27, 2022 5.0 Postman is a tool that is used every day for investigation, testing and assisting development. It is stable fast and reliable. Pros Shallow learning curve to get working with it and has more advanced features as your knowledge progresses. Cons API design tooling could be more feature rich. OAuth2 support could be better Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Postman Review!" May 10, 2023 5.0 Postman is one the best API testing tool I have used so far. It has been the best platform in the market till date. Pros Postman has the capability to seamlessly integrate with diverse tools, such as those for continuous integration and deployment. This makes it simpler to incorporate API testing into the development workflow. Cons When handling large datasets or running automated tests, Postman requires a significant amount of resources, which could result in slower performance on computers that are less powerful or outdated. Review Source Raj S. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "API development, management and collaboration using Postman" January 4, 2023 5.0 Pros Postman simplifies API development and management. Different workspaces and API requests are organized in an ordered manner and can be accessed using both the browser and the installed application interfaces. It is possible to add other team members, which assists in collaborative development. Cons Reusing global variables in APIs is not possible using Postman. The variables have to be added every time in the local environment. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I am constantly finding new things that I can do with the application" July 25, 2019 5.0 I love using Postman because if does exactly what I want it to do. I work with enough people that we are always finding new features and seeing how much more we can use this service for our company. Pros Where I work we have to take a lot of different language formats (HTML, Javascript, JSON and so forth) my preference is XML and not only will it convert the Language format, it also has an option to "Beautify" As long as you know what you are doing, Postman executes REST API's perfectly. You can set up your parameters, headers, text Bodies and even set up authorizations. I have dozens of calls saved so that it was remarkably easy to just run the API and it is good to go in seconds. Cons There are two things that I have found to be a challenge : 1. With large Response file bytes that come through, if can take a really long time to load and interact with the data. Postman can become sluggish and even non-responsive for longer periods of time. The fix is to set the bodies data to RAW and then it will run smooth, but by default, this option is not selected. 2. If you do not know what you are doing - this can feel not very user-friendly. There is a training section called "Bootcamp" but it told you what to do rather than what things are for. An example I have was I was trying to figure out what all of the different Methods produce but it would just tell me that the most common method is "GET" Just know that the training is more of a walkthrough rather than a roadmap. Review Source Divyanshu A. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best API building and testing tool I've used so far." April 10, 2023 4.0 Postman helps in my day to day tasks of development and testing. I usually do all my end to end testing using postman. It also saves all the logs and history so I don't have to worry about shutting down my pc abruptly. Pros Postman is the best tool out there to test the APIs. I have been using it for a few years now and all my colleagues use this too. Best thing about this tool is that you can save all the Endpoints and don't have to enter them repeatedly. Cons One thing it lacks is that you have to import the whole collection if you have several APIs why in other applications you can just open it via link. But apart from that it is well and good. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer information technology Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "IT is a comprehensive tool that helps developers " March 27, 2023 5.0 Overall, Postman is an excellent tool for API development and testing, and its benefits outweigh the drawbacks. It provides a comprehensive platform that simplifies the entire API development process and enables teams to collaborate effectively. Pros User-Friendly Interface: Postman has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for developers to use, regardless of their level of expertise.Easy Collaboration: Postman makes collaboration between team members very easy. It allows team members to work on the same API, share data, and collaborate on the same workflow.Robust Testing Framework: Postman provides a robust testing framework that enables developers to test APIs and ensure that they are working correctly.API Documentation: With Postman, developers can automatically generate API documentation, which makes it easy for other team members to understand the functionality of the APIs. Cons Limited History: The history function in Postman is limited, and it can only store a limited number of API requests.Steep Learning Curve for Beginners: Although the interface is user-friendly, Postman can be challenging to use for beginners who are not familiar with API development. Review Source Shrawan K. Backend Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Postman Review by a Back end Developer" September 26, 2023 4.0 Pros Postman manual testing my Back end APIs very easy. The way it can integrate authentication, authorization, cookies and manipulate urls is fun to work with as it also provides an intuitive and feature rich UI . Postman's creating and publishing API documentation feature makes it easier to pass my API schema to the consumers. After using it for 2 years I can recommend this app to another fellow developer. Cons Some features that I would like in postman is the ability to add more team members. I mostly use postman's free version as its pricing line up is not cheaper. Its pricing is a bit competitive compared to its free competitors. Also it would be nice if I could test my published API from the web directly instead of coming back to Postman to test. Review Source RJ Rehan J. Software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Everyday developer testing tool" May 26, 2023 5.0 Pros I do all my API testing with postman once I finished developing them. I use the desktop free version and even though it has limited features, they are enough for me to proceed with developer testing. I create collections and can create requests inside. I can keep everything in clean in organized manner. Once I completed the developer testing I share or export and send the same collection to the QA engineer. Cons If I try a POST request with a huge request body, them the app gets stuck. And it takes some time to come to the normal state. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Test Analyst Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Tool so far for quick tests using REST" December 16, 2019 4.0 I normally use Postman and first step, not complete manual test for Backend and also before complete automation. For automation we used Java ( jive) code. For this pupose I can say that Postman is a very good solution. But I would like to see complex examples ( like a whole regression Suite) using postman and having TCs in cycles every 24 hours. Also I'd like to see good code examples so troubleshoot would be easier when I have failing TCs, Pros Easiness to use, sometimes I have tests that works only on Postman ( and not in SOAP UI for example) , possibility to automate test suing scripts, possibility to export and use variables on tests. This tool is similar to another ones but the difference is the number of people using it and some doubts can be quickly solved by googling it. It is easy and quick to automate test cases and create a Test Suite Cons Sometimes not so easy to find the solution for your "problem" and need to search on communities. They would provide a better help and manuals with examples and links on how to build the test case. It is common that I find the answer outside the site from Postman and not on the official one.
