In a world where the API calls are the basis of any websites, Postman is the key to success. My experience is positive, the tool does what promises to do. Moreover, it is easy to use: the UI is clear, you do not become crazy to do simple things. Personally, I would improve the sniffing part (considering also the API calls coming from native application, not only web browsers). Pros It is fantastic if you want to troubleshoot API calls. You can simply build your call and get the response from your servers. It is a tool that developers must know and use. And the same is valid for people managing the infrastructure that must have a way to test simply what they set up. Cons While for simulating API calls the product is the top, for "sniffing" the traffic, I prefer to use other solutions - for example, Fiddler - because it is simpler to use and help the users to also change dynamically (and in a simple way) the requests or to force a specific response.

Pros Mostly I like the simplicity of the tool & creating collections-documentation. I also liked the Flows feature which helped me in executing multiple requests in a chain. Cons I didn't find anything that I least liked. It solved all my problems so far.

It saves time allowing us test without integrating them with front end. Pros Its easy to install and use. It comes both as separate software and as plugin in chrome. It has support for all types of http methods. It supports all data formats right from xml,json to plain text. All the operations performed can be exported and saved as collections which is easy to share between teams. The UI is very intuitive and easy to use. Cons Not much cons. Its little tedious to manage tabs if they are more than 10 tabs. It would have been better if it provides a comments section to add comments and steps to perform operations on API.

Cons Postman's wide adoption has caused them to take on tasks it was never meant to perform. Anything beyond quick API tests, and collection sharing is not well supported, AT ALL. The amount of massaging that has to be done for even the most basic CI and testing tasks point to it's limitations as a scalable test framework. Which it is not, and never will be. Postman is a tool, not a framework.The intuitive UI for API collection sharing and maintenance quickly becomes a nightmare when teams attempt to force integration testing on top of it. Review Source TS Tamil S. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My feedback about postman" May 3, 2020 5.0 If you want to reduce your api testing time you can use this tool, because it has all required option, especially monitoring option. i am not only using this api testing, you can use it for api automation and send a request local server(nodejs code) where you can do any operation you need to do like download images from server, write api response as a file,..etc. Pros I like runner option very much, using this option we can run all the apis available inside the folder, and using prerequisite option we can set the api related data in environment file and using test script option we can make api to local server and redirect to particular api. Cons The only disadvantage in runner option is if the parent folder has multiple children folders, then it will run only the first children folder apis. Review Source Wishwa P. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best API Management tool" September 24, 2019 5.0 Being A Software Engineer makes me work with postman everyday. Being able save API request and responses, Setup configurations to test development and production environments separately are most amazing features Pros Starting from a Chrome plugin Postman has came a long journey. Now there are independent applications for Windows, Linux and MacOS which are pretty awesome and great UI with the Dark theme. Cons I'm using Postman everyday and there is nothing that made me worried. I'm currently using with Ubuntu and works so fine. Review Source AU Arslan U. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Postman a goto whether you are writing your own API, A Wrapper or testing APIs " April 25, 2021 4.0 Postman has grown quite mature over the years and is very much helpful in the life of developers especially the ones who had to code a lot of APIs or integrations. So I am very much satisfied with Postman. It can improve further but I am not going to consider any other tool or leaving postman anytime soon. Pros The thing that I liked the most about postman is that postman makes it easier to quickly test APIs while integrating them into applications as well as while writing my own APIs. Since they have introduced automatic code generators for common programming languages; it has even made it easier to quickly generate codes for the APIs within moments of testing those APIs. It kind of makes it easier for writing wrappers for REST APIs as well. You can even manage operations in workspaces so you can start exactly where you left. Cons Although postman has developed a lot over the past few years I believe it's still far from being perfect. It still has a lot of areas where it can improve. First of all, it's best for REST API testing but needs to improve for SOAP APIs. Secondly, it lacks Team and collaboration tools. Review Source Vinoch S. Senior Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy tool to test APIs" September 29, 2019 5.0 I am using postman for API testing. It is really useful when we do technical support for our software solutions. Pros I can able to easily and quickly test APIs that I have develop and some other open APIs. I really like the UI and the application available on desktop and chrome extension. Cons Better if it is easily support for SOAP APIs as well. Review Source OO Oscar O. Solution Deployment Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Honest 'Postman' Review" January 27, 2022 5.0 Pros Postman has got to be one of the best applications for API testing that I have ever used. Its best features have to be the sleek clean interface and ease of use. Whoever designed the UI for this program knew what they were doing. Cons One of the cons about using this app had to be when they changed up the UI and reversed the positioning of most of the buttons. This threw me for a loop at first but after a while, I was used to it again. It would have been a lot more helpful if there were tooltips to guide a user after updating the application point out where things had moved to. Review Source Claudia L. Tester Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Postman is an easy to use and robust tool to test APIs with a really affordable price" March 22, 2020 4.0 In my work it is essential to use Postman to test any API and track its response, so that you can check that they are working correctly. Also, I can share the collection with my team, so they can make changes to the API. Since we used this application, our work has really been made easier and our productivity as a team has improved. Pros Postman is a fundamental tool for testing an API. I like it because it has support for multiple response types, for example JSON or XML. Also, it supports all kinds of requests like Get, Post or Delete. Another reason why I prefer Postman over other software is because I can create production or test environments. Also, it is available for Windows, Linux or Ubuntu, at a really affordable price. Cons Buying the paid version is almost mandatory as API sharing is very limited in the free version. I also find it unfortunate that WSDLs cannot be tested. Review Source Dikshyaraj B. Infosystem Engineer Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Universal platform for APIs" May 31, 2022 5.0 I use postman everyday for all http requests and all operations,and using variables over collection wise. Pros The feasibility of and user friendly GUI for all kind of API checks. Very easy tool to get all experiences with apis. The use of variables and all are too fine. the interface is user friendly. The best API tool. Cons i dont find any cons with my uses with the application Review Source FB Florian B.

System Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My Experience with postman application " September 10, 2023 5.0 In simple words postman is a very powerful API and I have an awesome experience with this tool for automation testing. Pros The first thing I would suggest this app is their user friendly interface, even a beginner can easily understand the usage of this app. We can use this tool for both testing and development. It has automation testing features and we can coordinate with git which is very useful in case of complex test cases. Cons Work features work with postman cloud services so it may be sometimes difficult with data privacy of our organisation. If the usage is high it may slow down our systems. Review Source Altaf A.

It works really nice and accurately. Pros it is easy to create tests. the interface is really simple and easy. we can just put the necessary links and data so that it gives the result within seconds. we can save common tests for future use can test mock up servers we can integrate postman with other tools an important use of this is, we can move tests within various systems and environments can run various test cases independently Cons Very less. Better to be more comprehensive on the error once a test case is not working. Better if it provides save dialog box when saving collections. Review Source Sourav H. Developer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This postman delivers!" March 26, 2023 4.0 A great tool for unit testing on demand Pros Features that allow to store collections offline and online, added with workspaces to collaborate with team Cons Using the tool for private networks isn't very convenient as the connections aren't robust enough when switching networks. This can be sorted by restarting postman but still an area that can be improved Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple to use tool for API testing with lots of features" April 30, 2020 4.0 Postman has become my go-to tool for testing API's. Pros Simple to configure and easy to use. A great tool whether you are using it as a developer, QA or support. Creating and sharing collections is simple. The UI is easy-to-understand and there is very little learning curve to get up and running. Cons Not much to complain about when it comes to Postman. The windows application is a bit heavy, but it is also feature-rich so the trade-off is worth it in my opinion. Review Source JP Jaroslaw P. Software engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tests the APIs quickly, easily and clearly." May 2, 2023 4.0 Pros Postman is more than just a simple API query testing software. Of course it allows easy and fast API testing, but it also offers test automation and easy sharing and collaborating on tests, creating query collections, generating API documentation and monitoring API performance, easily navigating through history and saving queries. Absolutely crucial for the daily work of a software engineer. Cons The user interface may not be intuitive for novice users. If you resize the main window, you lose the ability to click on the control buttons because they remain outside the visible part of the window. Review Source LMR Luis Miguel R.

Pros what I liked the most is its features that not only enables me to test my APIs effcicently but also saves a record of my previous tests. Cons what I like the least is its error reporting which makes it hard to detect errors in API efficently. Review Source AA Adebayo A. Software Developer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A complete API lifecycle management tool" December 19, 2022 5.0 Pros I think the best feature that Postman possesses is it's integrated API management tools. Some other products usually focus on one aspect of API management lifecycle but Postman has all the tools needed in one place. Another great feature of Postman is how private and public APIs can be managed seperately and access to is restricted to users that need to use the API.It's support for OpenAPI also means we can easily import definitions from our API projects Cons While postman is great tool and has all the functionalities and more, one drawback for me is the UI design for API documentation. Review Source VS Vevinkumar S. Principal Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best API testing tool ever" May 19, 2021 5.0 Simple, yet powerful tool for API testing. Easy to organize all our API test calls in a single place on the cloud. Pros I use Postman on a regular basis to test REST and SOAP API calls. I work on integrating JD Edwards ERP with a lot of other third-party software. Postman is so simple, yet powerful at the same time. The layout is clean and user-friendly. Easy to store and organize all our tests for future reference. Cons I do not have any complaints on this tool. They can improve on few things like easy sharing of projects with other users. Alternatives considered [SoapUI](https://www.capterra.com/p/170648/SoapUI/) Reason for choosing Postman Simple and feature-rich. Switched from [SoapUI](https://www.capterra.com/p/170648/SoapUI/) REST API testing was much more easy and user-friendly in Postman. Review Source Similar Products Featured
