The right (Post)man in the middle
What do you like best about the product?
Portman can handle almost any REST api/webservice or SOAP request I code myself or thirdparty REST api, webservice, webapi or SOAP services I have to implement. With the builtin repository functions it keeps all my test organised. It is also possible te import and export existing libraries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Postman can also be used to test SOAP services, but not as easy as REST services. This is something to improve for Postman.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create test suites for all my REST api’s using Postman. Using the builtin repository I keep them organised by project. You can even share your repository with your customers if needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have several project with REST api’s you want to test Postman is your Swiss army knife.
nice
What do you like best about the product?
This allows me to easily make API calls and keep track of previous calls
What do you dislike about the product?
The way that the history of calls is kept and potentially reused could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily make API calls to test functionality
Intuitive and powerful tool for API development and use.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to save custom collections, and share between team members. You can use shared workspaces, or export as JSON, and import.
The JSON export format is easy to understand and documented. I was able to have my code auto-generate a postman collection to share with testers and development teams.
Supports saved environments and templates request strings, parameters, and headers. This makes it really easy to jump between different environments when testing the same API in QA or Prod.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is VERY slow to process payloads over a few MB in size. A response of any size over 5 MB makes the response section chug. Downloading large files is also slow. Luckily there is a feature to turn your saved request into a cURL command which I just run from the terminal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documentation and low level UI for our REST APIs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The free version is awesome as it is. The shared workspaces are really nice when working with a team, but you'll need the Pro version. Worth it in my opinion.
Postman for Request Delivery
What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a perfect tool for sending a GET or POST request to a server side for testing API response.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to setup when running Postman behind a corporate proxy. Takes a few trial runs before configuration is correct
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Postman to test our team's server-side functional implementation to validate the correctness before deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Postman is a recommended tool for quickly test our your seriverside functional API before deploying the product to a live support.
Fast & Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a boilerplate app for me. I assume that a large amount of Front-end Developers will enjoy to use it. The best specialty of the app is to make ajax request straightforward. If you want to use an API you can just enter the request type and parameters on the app then it will return the fields immediately.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't see any unpleasant behavior of the app. I can easily use it to claim what I need from it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Front-end Developer, I need to see returning values of an API to make the structure of the website or the webpage. Before starting one of these projects I use Postman to see what I have on the hand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As a Front-end developer, I feel happy when I suggest Postman to my friends.
Useful tool for testing API calls
What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a really easy tool for rapid testing API calls. I really like its simplicity and the fact that it can be quickly set up. Also the possibility to have a library with useful HTTP requestsand a battery of tests.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you can not save multiple login credentials.
I would also improve the GUI so that the different parts (request/response) of the requests are more easily distinguishable.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database configuration through web API. Postman really males my life easier! Whenever I have to make changes to a database, for example delete data, update resource, etc, this tool allows easy and flexible testing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you work with web APIs, either if you are just a user or a developer, Postman is a must have!
Postman - A powerful application for API testing.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create requests, you can generate code snippets for others programming languages and it has a free option.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be overwhelming in the beginning, how Postman handles certificates could be improved, and the import feature can be clunky sometimes, but these things don't make Postman unreliable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Postman as an auxiliary tool for creation of automation scripts on Python, and to test API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Since Postman has a free version, you'll not lose anything trying the program. My recommendations would be researching about the tools available, read articles, tutorials, and watch videos.
Great tool for testing web services
What do you like best about the product?
How easy to add security and parameters to web requests. Great tool for any web developer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Older versions seemed to send requests from my machine, but later versions now seem to bounce Postman servers (or at least are unable to work behind corporate firewalls)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing web services and endpoints that are REST
Postman is helpful for testing APIs
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can create and save collections. It makes testing different APIs very efficient, without having to use curl or something similar that requires more work. It also allows you to save environment and global variables to make passing around different values really easy. The UI is pretty nice and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be really laggy. For example, when I am requesting a gatekeeper token, it takes a long time and the UI is pretty glitchy for that specific task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can test APIs that either I or other developers I’m working with have written. I can see what responses you get back from making certain calls.
Awesome REST API client in town
What do you like best about the product?
As a developer,I check apis constantly. Be it an API without any authentication or an API with oauth authentication,I can use postman effectively to test the API. One feature,I like the best is saving the apis together in one collection.Another feature ,I like is sharing the collection with other developers .The best feature is the history tab. Even if I forget to save,the history tab comes to rescue.I also like the option of highlighting collections.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were times when certain apis we're showing response for certain developers.BUt the same API didn't work for other developers.
Also,it's hard to import certificates in terms postman standalone app.
