Fantastic API Testing environment
What do you like best about the product?
Postman's design is very intuitive and impressively supportive: cookies, custom headers, diverse POST data methods.
Lets you set defaults by environment, capable of auto creating documentation, able to simulate a mock server, and even capable of performing automated tests.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sub folder architecture is less robust than the root folders; for example, we can only auto-create API documentation for everything in a root folder, not just for one sub-folder in a root folder.
Unable to send multiple TYPES of POST data. For example, I can't send a file as form-data AND JSON key:values as url-encoded.
The default key:value input for "x-www-form-urlencoded" doesn't support nested JSON/key:values

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman allows us to quickly and efficiently test our API responses speeding up sanity checks, response, and error handling.
It may not be a substitute for unit testing, but highly effective at testing quick calls, suites, or production issues without much overhead.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do a lot of API integrations for our customers and need to run quick API tests everyday. Postman really makes this process easy and fast. You can build your own environments and collections and share them with your teams as well.
Great tool for testing APIs
What do you like best about the product?
Postman makes it easy for even non-developers to test url's when creating or testing APIs. It is the main tool I use for testing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the most intuitive user interface but there is a lot of help available until you get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several vendors who have setup comprehensive APIs to share and update information remotely. We use postman to test APIs before moving into production within our regular programs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I am not aware of any other tool available that makes it this easy to test any type of API, even for non-developers.
usefull even for non tech guy like myself
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface very much even if not clear at the first sight for a "noob" in IT like I am ;-)
Set up multiple environment is really usefull, as well as is the option to save them
All API call are listed the right way.
Clicking on a collection web link and opening the client right away with the good setup is very nice and very convenient.

What do you dislike about the product?
Download time to open the client is quite long (windows 10)
Setup of API to test is quite complicated for beginner non technical like I am, and require from a developper.
UI good but could be improved.
WYSIWYG could be improved

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it mainly for functional review and testing and this is quite usefull and convenient to do testing by myself without asking a developper (or at least, ask less to them)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
for testing purpose, can be good
Get's the work done
What do you like best about the product?
The best I like about Postman are,
- Simple to use interface
- Postman Collections that can be exported or imported which makes it very easy to share your API
- I like sync but don't use it as much
- Postman environment variables is really nice especially when sharing your collections with others
- Request history has many times helped me in debugging current request
- Response preview feature is really nice

What do you dislike about the product?
The things I dislike about Postman are,
- Postman app performance is slow since it's a packaged webapp and native apps tend be faster
- Cluttered UI which makes it hard to look for what you need
- Updates take a really long time since they download the complete new version everytime we want to update
- Postman data format is inconsistent and has breaking changes with versions
- Response truncating is a nice to have

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Postman to build read-only APIs for my data portal and Postman was able to help me in quickly testing if everything is working as expected. Postman has done a good job in getting my work done.
REST Client for Chrome Browser
What do you like best about the product?
One can create new requests easily(you can check buttons for everything like authentication, get, push, add aparms etc), can maintain the history of requests, can import collections easily. One can build, test and validate APIs fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there is nothing I disliked about postman. After facing so many issues in testing REST APIs, Postman saved our day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using postman to GET test data from REST APIs of Success Factor. Simply selecting the GET/POST along with url and credentials will returns requested records within a few seconds depending on size of response. One can store/save the url to be used in future instead of wasting time in forming the same request again and again. Also, one can import/export collections easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is quite easy to use for building and testing REST APIs. Comes as plugin with Chrome browser.
Simple and pain free service for testing and debugging API calls
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to get moving, fast results, readily available.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a simple product, there's very little to not like about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster turn around when evaluating external API's; simple testing of internal API's.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simple to learn and use, just pick it up and run.
