Copy Paste not working in many places (Linux version)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API's tests, API Design,
Life Saver
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to make most any type of web request, great for testing web API's. Saves all version of your test for later recall.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes a pain dealing with all the lots of the saved tests, sometimes obviousness of the UI is missing in a few places.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing web API's
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not sure of any other good cross platform tool that does what Postman does. Great for testing web API and simulating form based submissions, json stuff is good too if you are using GraphQL like endpoints as well.
Extremely Developer Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
This is by far the easiest tool to create and test your APIs
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to share an individual API with a friend. As of now we have to share the complete collection (folder) of APIs thus causing issues a lot of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All the APIs for the app/website are built and tested using Postman. Running cron jobs is also very easy using Postman Monitor.
A great endpoint API manager
What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a great API manager, it allows you to test your API calls and publish a documentation for other to use your endpoint calls. It has many helpful features, the one I like most is variables. You can create environments presets, composed of variables, that you can use anywhere in your APIs. In the URL, header parameters, request body etc. They are very useful, and allow you to quickly switch between testing and production environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is not always clear (e.g. I use two columns layout and sometimes texts are chopped off). Also if you click and drag on the header parameters to select text, it will select the parameters instead, causing some problems the first time I tried to edit them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman helped us creating and publishing our APIs, we were looking for a product that could help us doing so, and Postman had all the features we were looking for
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Postman is a great software for API test and management. It is fast and reliable, with lots of features to test your API in every scenario case (different options, content language etc)
A great API management software
What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a complete software, it handles every kind of HTTP requests, it support cookies, and is very organized. You can divide your APIs in folders (projects), and you can also set environment variables, so that you can easily switch to testing/development environments. You can also visualize the response in different syntaxes (HTML, XML, JSON etc).
What do you dislike about the product?
I still have to try each feature, since I focused on registering each API, but as of now, I found Postman to be very complete and functional. I've had no issues or crashes while using the software, it is always very stable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to store the APIs for a new project, to keep track of them and test our app functionalities and response. We also had to publish a documentation for our programmers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has many features and the documentation publishing is very well done
Great software, good for all levels of development
What do you like best about the product?
Is relatively easy to use, strong team sharing capabilities now.
What do you dislike about the product?
Versioning still needs an improvement, but it's getting better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to test all applications internally before release, and quick put together user workflows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
check out their troll board https://trello.com/b/4N7PnHAz/postman-roadmap-for-developers
a great help when you need to test process based on requests
What do you like best about the product?
the ability to save the used requests as collections so i can reuse and save time , the history panel is really usefull too when testing
What do you dislike about the product?
it is hard to say because i love this tool but i think they can add some tooltips so when you start with the tool you can learn faster how to use all the options
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
testing mainly, we develop a lot of process-based /started by web requests so all the team can design requests to handle the unit test and share with others to reuse and save time in testing and knowledge transfer
Recommendations to others considering the product:
use collections , is my favorite part
Wonderful API test tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to test API code and see the request and response. I like being able to publish and host documentation through Postman.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there was a way to add additional more user friendly API doc in Postman.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefit of having users and readers test our API doc instead of just reading about it,
Very good REST Api client for developers. Easy to use interface. Fast, secure and easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Must have if you are developing web applications. It's free, a lot of documentation is available. Most widely used REST api client. Feature packed and uses native HTTP protocols. It integrates very well with google chrome and a lot of youtube videos are available to learn its usage. Most HTTP methods are covered and support the latest version of http as well
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Its open source software with easy to use, self-explanatory UI so cannot complain much. It's an industry standard software. It's a no-brainer.
The native app does not live up to the chrome extension standards.
The native app does not live up to the chrome extension standards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API testing. Automation, security penetration testing. Development of web apps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Integrate SOAP UI and Kerberos support. fully-fledged android and windows app.
A must have for anybody working with APIs/Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Whether you are learning how to use APIs for the first time or you are a seasoned consultant/Support Engineer who needs to go deep into somebody's code to troubleshoot an issue, Postman is an incredible tool. The UI is so simple. There's also a desktop and browser-based version! I was rather new to working with APIs after having graduated from a coding boot camp in Silicon Valley but this software helped me understand and test APIs quickly. It is a must-have if you are a Support Engineer trying to resolve customer issues that involve API inputs and outputs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. APIs are can be a tricky subject for beginners but Postman made it much easier for me to grasp.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick diagnosis of API/integration issues. Checking the flow of data is working as expected
