Great tool for Rest Services
What do you like best about the product?
I like the exhaustiveness of this tool to shoot out HTTP requests
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool offers a lot. So much that sometimes it becomes difficult to navigate. This is definitely not a con but the only thing I dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Invoking Rest APIs and shooting HTTP requests. I was also able to store sessions so that I dont have to remember details.
A must for would be API Librarians
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use yet powerful provided you can code a bit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't access databases (or at least I have not found a way).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting and testing APIs is a matter of organisation, and Postman makes it very easy to organise API tests into logical suites (collections). I call myself an API Librarian rather than a tester because to me the greatest aspect of Postman is the ability to organise requests.
When it comes to repetitive coded test elements, like setting a valid future date or calculating and expected value, Postman offers very powerful variable options at a local and global level.
We are writing Javascript to provide additional functionality, which could become a maintenance headache, but in Postman you can load the Javascript into a variable and simply call the function you need into the individual tests.
Using Newman we integrate the Postman collection tests into our CI environment, running automatically at every build and deployment. This works with Jenkins, Bamboo and GoCD (and similar tools).
And finally because the tests are easy to understand our non-technical stakeholders can get involved. I only wish I could write tests that go to check the contents of databases (like Couchbase or MongoDB as well as SQL databases) from within Postman.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make extensive use of yourself an easy life and treat it like a library or catalogue of API requests.
Quick and reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Takes out the headache of trying to run queries on an app
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are too many input fields that can get confusing for simple queries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman allows us to quickly test our database API programmatically instead of constantly running through test cases in the app
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The UI is friendly and the functions are just what you need to quickly test your APIs instead of wasting time manually triggering GET and POST requests within your mobile app or website
Wonderful way to easily test apis
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the combination of a good UI and how the features provided allow such an easy way to quickly hit APIs for testing purposes
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't run into any problems yet, it gets the job done just as expected
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing API endpoints
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for hitting API endpoints quickly.
Allows saving request configurations and grouping them into collections for quick access

Useful for testing and niche integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can use it to manage processes that aren't fully baked into platforms yet. Supports a wide range of testing scenarios.
What do you dislike about the product?
The usability is definitely expert-level. I need tutorials to know how to use Postman on a regular basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using to create manifests for specific types of shipments. This is a quick solution that allows us to stay ahead of the curve.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The postman app (desktop version) is not stable
- Limit access for "API mock server"
- Limit access for "API mock server"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to test API before integrating with a Mobile app or Web App.
The benefits: API test is faster if using Postman because postman is easy to learn.

Easy to use and easy to learn
The most used software at work
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to save and manage API calls. Lot of great features to make lives of API developers easy. This is one tool every API developer must have. It is more powerful and easy to use compared to some of its competitors . It rolls out upgraded versions pretty often and usually new and good features are added. Lot of information about the information is made available to the users, including cookies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably when it was new, it was a bit hard to save and maintain requests for multiple environments, but now this is not the case. Saving or cloning can sometimes be a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is used to test API calls while developing or used by quality engineers to test various API calls. It is used to test our APIs on multiple environments, including our local boxes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A Must have tool for any API developer or tester. Definitely needs to be tried.
Postman is a powerful tool used to test web services in a simple and quick way.
What do you like best about the product?
I use the free version to test small applications for individual projects especially. I like it because it makes the development of APIs, fast and easy.
It has an intuitive interface that allows you to easily send requests, save variables and create collections that are easily shared with other users.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although its interface is simple, in the first uses it is not easy to find everything that the tool offers and requires some important technical knowledge and a learning time to get the most out of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is an essential tool to test APIS easily and quickly. With a deeper knowledge, it allows you to add tests, create workflows and log each request and response for a detailed debugging.
Nifty little tool for API testing and debugging
What do you like best about the product?
There's a free tier with no limitations of usage
What do you dislike about the product?
The User Interface is a little clunky and intimidating for a first time user
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing out the internal APIs and debugging them without using browsers
Easy API testing tool that your QA team can use
What do you like best about the product?
The fields are super easy to use and quick to fill out. It's good if you want your non-technical QA team to test your API for acceptance testing or can help customers use your API without having swagger set up
What do you dislike about the product?
If you switch types of the payload it doesnt preserve the data fields (e.g. plain text vs json)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been great to have the QA team test out the API using Postman or give instructions for the end customers to do acceptance testing on their end
