Integration Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Postman Review" July 23, 2019 4.0 Overall, this very good application for creating functional static test suits for REST interface. Pros Postman is an good application comes stand alone as well as plugin in google chrome for testing REST webservice interface effectively. We can have a collection(Separate project) for related group of API. we can export the collection easily and import in other postman application. we can even export as link and import in any postman. All the interfaces are synced to your email address used for sign in. you can open the same interface in any system with the same email id. Each requests fired is saved in the history and can be easily retrieved with search for any reference. Cons When you are using HTTPS interface, you need to adjust the settings for avoiding the SSL Issue. It has very less support to SOAP interface.

Pros Very easy to use and integrate with the local host. I was using it when I was a student, and even though now I am a professional software developer I still heavily rely on Postmane to do the testing. Cons It's very simple, no fancy feature or UI, I hope that we could start writing some plugin or extension on Postman! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Test engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simply the best API testing tool" October 4, 2019 5.0 Pros The plethora of features available in postman is very helpful for developers as well as software testers. With the new update, things have gotten much better with the improved UI Cons One issue i faced while using this is when a URL is generated as a response, even if i try to copy it to the clipboard, it automatically opens as a new request. If there was some option to toggle this off, then it would be much better Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best tool to test API's" September 4, 2021 5.0 Postman has been a really great tool for me to test APIs quickly. Earlier, I used to test out the APIs in Vscode which made it hectic for me to view Web responses. But then i was introduced to postman by my friend and that's it , I never went back to Vscode again Pros I really like the feature of importing CURL commands into postman and fetching the code from it Cons Initial setup/usage of the software can be really confusing for a beginner. I myself was confused how to do a basic pull request as i was bombarded with workspaces, projects , mock testing and stuff. All i wanted to do an API request But eventually, i got used to the software and now I use it everyday Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Developer Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Favourite for REST API's" August 8, 2022 5.0 Pros Post man is the best tool for debugging API's locally. I personally use for my development related works. It has collection where we can store lots of request which can be resued. As its an Application its has many useful features which makes our work easy. Cons Post man is great for REST API, where as for SOAP API's it a bit inefficient. Reusing prewritten scripts or adding more request is a bit difficult., that is it has lower script reuasability. Review Source GN Gareth N. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lost without it" September 25, 2019 5.0 Postman gets the job done. It's updated with new features and fixes quite frequently and it's very reliable. It makes my day-to-day work life very easy and I wouldn't be able to work as productively without it. Pros Postman makes my life easier. I develop and work on API's every single day and that means I'm running Postman for hours on end. Besides writing tests, it's great to be able to hit my API endpoints, see the results and be able to diagnose them. The layout is intuitive, almost all the details regarding a request is easily viewable, it keeps a searchable history of every request and most importantly, it has dark mode. Cons I can't really fault Postman at anything, it provides all the functionality that I need. If anything, the UI might be a bit confusing for a new user but with time it becomes your go-to tool for API development.

Director Application Test Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Postman for API Testing allows flexibility for Teams" June 9, 2022 5.0 I appreciate the various applications that have APIs that Postman enables us to model automated workflows before we implement integrations or develop utilities that span multiple applications. Pros Creating collections that can be used across multiple environments has been key to our Postman use. We are able to share collections with Dev/Test/Project Teams and add assertions for validation and confirmation. Cons Limited to the Chrome browser and I would like to see a scheduler for running collections. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer System Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Really solid option for REST tests" November 23, 2021 4.0 In fact, Postman is more than just a REST messaging tool. It is commonly used across the industry as the tool of choice for manual testing activities (when developing new REST APIs, for example). From basic usage (with manual entry of all the details) to more attractive functions (like assertion checking when getting responses back, algorithms for conditionally filling payloads), everything is simple to understand. Pros It's really easy to use it and, few to none customization is required. It's learning curve is really pleasant so that quickly anyone is capable to start using its advanced features. Cons Sometimes the RAM usage increases, making it a RAM-intensive application that needs to be restarted. Anyway, it restarts quickly. Review Source MD Manish D. Functional Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Really Nice Product" August 24, 2022 5.0 Really Great! Pros It makes easy fo test, develop and document APIs Cons Nothing I can think of currently everything is fine with postman Review Source Wilco V. Webprogrammeur Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use API tester" May 27, 2020 4.0 Postman is a very powerful tool to try and test APIs, with full control over the sent messages. Pros Postman allows you to easily test your API or try out how someone elses API works. It is very easy to keep different APIs organized in different tabs and sections. The history list is also really nice in case you want to find an API request that you executed a while back and not look through the documentation of the API again. It has almost all the features you'd want for a program like this, with full control over sent headers, parameters and body. It has nice formatting support for things like JSON and GraphQL. Cons There is no XML / SOAP API support built in, which would make it even more powerful. On the other hand, only a few (legacy) APIs still use SOAP today. Review Source Rao Wajahat S. T24 Senior Functional Analyst Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "API testing was never this easy for functional consultants." June 23, 2021 5.0 Overall performance is great. We have performed UAT using postman of different ADC-related projects. Pros The best thing about postman is that it has made functional consultants like me to perform user acceptance testing without any technical know-how of the whole process. The user interface is very simple and we change the request as per our business cases and see the responses of the exposed APIs Cons Sometimes it gets stuck and we need to restart the postman in order to continue our testing. We sometimes need technical support from our IT departments to set up the postman. Review Source Ganesh K. QC Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great API Test and Design Tool" July 23, 2021 5.0 Pros It is easy to access and manage the APIs within the tool. Best thing is I can automate the APIs. With different environment it is easy to sort the APIs and save them accordingly. Design process is easy. API response time is more efficient. Love to use this tool. Cons Need to put environment port each time, there should be provision to auto select different environment port in same API Review Source Alex T. Front-End Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "THE Best Solution for Testing API Endpoints" August 25, 2019 5.0 Pros One feature that I absolutely loved about this software is the environment management functionality. This feature allows you to define variables that can be used throughout the software. I have set up specific environment variables to handle separate URL's for local development and live server development which has made testing each of the two incredibly easy by just switching to the specific environment. Another feature that has been great to have has been the GraphQL functionality that allows you to send GraphQL post requests without having to manually transform the entire request into JSON format. This feature is a HUGE time saver. Cons One thing that annoyed me about using this software is the slight learning curve involved. The software has so many "hidden" features that make your development life easier, but that is the main issue, it seems as though they bury them too deep to find. Once you figure everything out, the software is incredible, but I wish they made things slightly most easy to use for first time users. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A very useful API Client" July 22, 2021 4.0 I use Postman every single day as I develop RESTful APIs for a living. This is a tool I cannot live without. I love the features it offers to document my APIs. Pros Testing API endpoints is made extremely easy with Postman. I love the fact that you can organize your requests into various collections and have it all available in any device thanks to cloud saving. Documenting is easy as well, as you can attach examples to any request. Cons The user interface is very cluttered. Compared to other competitors, I find that Postman's user interface is not very user friendly. I can navigate and do what I want to do but I would prefer if it wasn't as cluttered. Although, for all the features it provides, I can look past this issue. Review Source Emilio M. QA Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "if you are working with APIs you probably don´t need to read this review." December 3, 2019 5.0 Very easy to prototype API validations. Can be used as a starting point to automate API testing. Pros VERY easy to use. It is designed to be accesible by non-tech users, and it gives a feel of the API without having to have the front-end ready. Can import swagger to make stuff easier. Cons Collections can be used with Newman to have them run on Continous Integration. It is pain in the rear to make it work. Review Source Mahesh Chathuranga R. Manager - Service Delivery Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool to test REST API calls." November 1, 2020 4.0 Within Our Organization, We have been using the Postman tool for API testing by a couple of teams internally overall it helps us to minimize the development time. Pros It allows our QA and Application Support teams to simplify the methods of developing APIs. GUI is quite straightforward and user friendly. The free plan has it's limited features but most helpful. Cons Limited for REST API Testing. And it is still not supporting for Hessian protocol. Alternatives considered [Mockoon](https://www.capterra.com/p/211671/Mockoon/)[SoapUI](https://www.capterra.com/p/170648/SoapUI/) Reason for choosing Postman It has predefined templates that allow our QA Engineers to create test scripts quickly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Postman for web API development. " July 6, 2019 5.0 We can test all the API end points we develop as the backend server. So far this is the best software we found to mock http calls. Pros Ability to send all the required http request for testing the server development. Support almost all the http methods. Support for authorization and other standard headers. Ability to send files along with the requests. Dark theme. Save all the histories so it is easy to send previously sent requests again. Cons Sometimes it get stuck when sending large files as http POST request. No any other issue so for. Review Source VS Vandana S. General Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very user friendly, easy to use and rich feature set" August 28, 2023 5.0 I am overall very happy with the tool and it delivers what it promises. Pros It is very easy to use and learn. Even a new developer can start working on it in a day or two. It has a lot of rich features for creating API, testing and version control. Cons Haven't come across any such feature, it has almost everything that we need. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I can't believe I haven't found this before" February 12, 2020 5.0 A must have for developers, test your APis consistently and say goodbye to cowboy coding. Postman is robust and easy to use, probably THE collaborative tool for API development. Pros Postman is plainly amazing! If you are developing an API or anything that's not heavily reliant on GUI you will need Postman in order to develop something that works. Postman allows you to test all your endpoints with a simple and intuitive GUI, you can send any kind of request, named parameters, etc and analyze the response. You can authorize before sending the request and run pre-request scripts as well, in general Postman made my life easier by simplifying one the programmers' musts: testing. Postman is rock solid and you should integrate it on your workflow. Cons The Windows client is heavy and if you don't have a good graphics card you will need to disable the gpu option with a environment variable, thankfully the answer was in their documentation so I could solve it easily. Besides the client itself I don't have major complaints about the product. Review Source Alejandro Javier V. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Nothing better for back-end development than Postman!" April 12, 2021 5.0 I use postman for all my back-end development. I save my organized queries in the cloud and collaborate with my team. Pros Fully specialized for back-end request testing, you can organize and save your queries in the cloud. Cons I have not found problems. Perhaps a good idea would be that the same query can be done in 2 different directions (server and local) to compare results. Review Source Balaji K. Software engineer Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Postman Rest Client" December 3, 2019 5.0 The overall experience has been excellent and extremely satisfying so far Pros Postman helps to test rest API and SOAP API easily with user friendly GUI. Setting up SSL certificate and other headers are very easy with Postman Cons There is nothing to complain as it has made the developers life like mine easier. Integration testing of API is made very easy now Review Source RR Rutvi R. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Postman for API calls" November 19, 2022 4.0 With Postman , we do not have to worry about developing front end to check API calls. It is very efficient for sharing postman collection to other team members. Pros Postman is undoubtedly the easiest and and most useful API tester software. The UI is very easy to use and understand for anyone who has no experience of Postman at all. It also provides different folders for different projects which is very helpful when we work with more than one teams. Cons We have to set global variable in each and every new API call. Sometimes it takes time to run some kind of APIs. Review Source MSB Mahipal Singh B. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Postman Review" June 5, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Postman is good. They are providing a platform to test any API either company internal API or Third-party API before integrating it. and Helps us to understand the architecture like header, encoding use, body type, etc before integrating. Pros The most important feature in postman is helping us to create a new API, testing the API or any other third-party API which we are trying to integrate with our system. It acts as a client to the API exposed in the server. It also provides an API repository to easily store, iterate and collaborate all the APIs in a single place. Cons As of now, I don't have anything which I don't like in the Postman. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer QA Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect tool for API testing" April 18, 2020 4.0 Overall postman is the best tool for API development and testing. Pros Postman makes api development and testing really easy. The automation capabilities are Excellent. Many features are being rolled out frequently that add a lot of value.
