Amazing
What do you like best about the product?
The Best thing I felt about POSTMAN is that the interface is begineer friendly and the automation is Fabulous for Pentesters
What do you dislike about the product?
The Issue I mostly felt was that the Processing Power and most of the feature are having a paywall setting which is not benefit for a free user also the reusablitiy of script is not possible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation part was most beneficial for me, rather than doing any manual testing
Centralized collections improve collaboration with remote login capabilities and helpful support
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach. All collections created in Postman are not maintained locally and are instead maintained on the server, making it easy for me to continue work from anywhere if I log in with the same credentials. Any team member can continue the work as nothing is maintained locally.
What needs improvement?
One of the features that is missing in Postman is reporting; it's very basic. If they could enhance it and provide a browser-based dashboard view, it would be beneficial.
Postman is limited to request and response kind of validation. If they can enhance it to have a database kind of validation like we have in ReadyAPI, it would be better. This feature would allow the response to be validated in the database as well.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Postman for more than three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is open-source and does the work required for day-to-day API testing activities. I would rate it ten out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Postman does not have database validation available, which affects its scalability. If this option were available, I would rate it ten out of ten. Currently, I would say it is around seven or eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
There is a lot of support available through forums and user groups, which has been sufficient for me. I hardly reach out to the vendor for support because the forums provide the required help.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
To start with, Postman is a good option, but ReadyAPI is a commercial tool with lots of built-in features. If cost isn't a concern, ReadyAPI is better, however, if it is, Postman is still a viable choice.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Postman is very simple. There is an option for both browser-based and desktop applications. The desktop application requires installation, which is straightforward, while the browser option is also available and easy to use.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Postman is open-source, so the cost is minimal compared to commercial platforms.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have a partnership with ReadyAPI but I am a Postman user.
What other advice do I have?
If you compare Postman and ReadyAPI, Postman is a very good starting option. However, ReadyAPI, being a commercial tool, offers additional features. If cost is not a concern, ReadyAPI is preferred.
Nonetheless, Postman offers ample features for API testing at no cost.
Overall, I would rate Postman as eight out of ten. I can recommend this solution to other users.

Postman, a user-friendly approach of testing APIs
What do you like best about the product?
There are certain features in Postman that look really good to me : 1.) Response formatting (can format the API response in JSON etc.) 2.) Environment setup (I can create and switch to a new environment which is very helpful to test the API response either in Quality or Production) 3.) I can easily get the code snippets for the provided API integration in the desired coding language, which is very helpful and time saving. 4.) I can also create my team, where all the members can perform testing simultaneously.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike in Postman, but few are: 1.) I can add only limited member in a team with a basic/free plan. 2.) Sometimes, I get 429 for repeated API calls. 3.) Sometimes I also feel like Postman should also allow the user to manage workspace as code blocks rather limiting it to endpoints only.
