Absolute WebServices control
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility to create collections and environment variables so it is not needed to change all the time the connectivity parameters working with different environments. Easy to introduce headers and body in different formats depending on your needs and input data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a bit complicated when you try to use the tests functionality and other non-basic features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing the REST WebServices I need to use before implementing them on my application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn to use all the functionalities of the application since the potential is really high. Get some time to know what can you do with it, it will be well invested time.
Cannot live without Postman for my work!
What do you like best about the product?
#1 it is free.
#2 I love the fact that I can test pretty much any API in almost any configuration and get an immediate and correct response.
#3 I can create test payloads with ease and clone/copy my tests into folders for easy sorting and organization
#4 I can send payloads in any format needed (form posts, gets, raw text, json, etc). I can literally recreate any submission type I need.
#5 Once I have the payload sorted out, I can export into any processing format I may need: AJAX/JS, C#, Node/JS, etc.
#5 I can retrieve payload responses and then export those into any format I may need: JSON, XML, plain text, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Believe it or not the biggest issue I have is actually just creating a new "test" inside a Collection. The UI is terrible in that regard. I usually end up duplicating from another collection, sort of blank it out , and then start from there. Maybe I'm not doing something right here but the UI is not clear for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to quickly test and debug third-party vendor APIs. This has two benefits 1.) we can hold third-party vendors accountable and immediately put them to work fixing any issues in their services 2.) we can quickly pass payloads of any shape or size to quickly get metrics on the APIs we are testing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't know if it is possible but can you make it an option to share or forward an individual test to another user? I see you can export entire Collections but sometimes I don't need quite that much. This would be really nice to have as I work with other developers where I have to export or take screenshots of the tests I'm building local.
Free & Easy - What's not to love?!
What do you like best about the product?
Great way for non-developers to send request, fetch data, and get answers without bothering engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be dangerous to send data, it's so easy to post to a database. When you hit 'Send', it's out in the world.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to check the balance of dozens of account in once place. I can also check the status of orders with outside vendors with a simple request.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go slow and make sure everything looks good before you 'Send'.
Can't believe it's free!
What do you like best about the product?
Postman is amazing! It simplifies API development by consolidating all my API calls into one location. Additionally, using Postman Pro allows me to share my work with the rest of the my team. The variables allow me to quickly swap out my API parameters quickly and efficiently. The API testing feature allows me to create unit tests for each of my company's API calls. Last, the interface is friendly and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The API testing framework needs to be expanded a bit. Right now, I can test one API call at a time with their testing feature. It would be nice to be able to create tests that would allow me to incorporate the results of other API calls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At my company, we use Postman to develop our customer-facing API, as well as our internal API. We subscribe to the Postman Pro service, as well, which allows us to share our API library across the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Postman is the best API development tool I've encountered. I doubt you will find one better.
REST API's for dummies
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, ease of learning the software suite and overall quality of this software really blow you away.
It's honestly a must have for any serious software developer looking to work with APIs.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I honestly dislike about this software is that their logo isn't Postman Pat.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API Building, API usage, API testing. API API'ing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just pay the people, use the product, build good software.
Postman time saving
What do you like best about the product?
it saves all the API's executed, which is useful for the next time.
What do you dislike about the product?
it needs account to save the API's executed which is a disadvantage, it should be device specific in order to save.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i was executing my API's, it is quick and elaborate
Recommendations to others considering the product:
yes its very easy and time saving
API Testing tool one of its kind
What do you like best about the product?
Best things in postman
1. Sign up/in feature available for saving the test data
2. Can add certificate for testing https apis
3. Collection (group multiple requests together)
4. Sharing feature
5. History of previous requests
6. Interactive user interface(UI)
and much more....

What do you dislike about the product?
nothing to dislike apart from it hangs sometimes if a very long response is present for some api
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously Android or iOS developer used to blame server APIs for incorrect responses. But now all API are tested throughly before integration. It reduced final development time as testing was done in parallel.
Postman for testing endpoints
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create "collections" of requests allow me to easily keep different projects and development tests separate from one another. You can also export these collections so they are easy to share with other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some aspects of the UI are a little odd at first but you soon get used to them with frequent use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When developing connections to external APIs I am able to very quickly and easily generate and test a whole range of requests before implementing them into a fully fledged solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a quick way to test multiple web requests, with the ability to save those tests in collections for later use then Postman is a great choice.
Best Api Test Client
What do you like best about the product?
Apart from basic stuff that postman does, I really like the collections and sharing feature.
You can even create your scripts and execute them using the runner feature.
I has all that you need to work in a collaborative development environment: support for envs, templates, Team collections etc

What do you dislike about the product?
While its so good, the user interface could be little more intuitive. Also, since they already have collections, it would be cool to provide an abstraction to save and see api documentation like positive case response so that developer can easily check responses and validate, more like in an api documentation. All of this will be mostly a feature request.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it majorly for api testing, storing a handy collection of suites to work as a mini regression on the api.
Every developer is shared a team collection for most of the common api's to help him test new features.
API Documentation partially.

API Documentation partially.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore it completely, it has features which go unnoticed most of the times. For e.g. we did not know about the Test scripts that we could write for months.
Its a really useful tool for team collaboration and iterative development.

Best tool use for APIs
What do you like best about the product?
Everything like very good user experience, environments feature, syncing, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet as I am still learning to use Postman in best way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we developed APIs for multiple platforms, Postman help us to communicate with platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to other to use Postman when your developing APIs. It is very easy to use and it will fulfil all your meets.
