In our development, I basically use Postman just to test the APIs.

Perfect in Everything
What do you like best about the product?
I am using postman from last 3 years and this is the best for Callouts, to check the APIs of any aplication to change the data of the particular apps.
Like I am working as a Salesforce Developer, So It helps to integrate any software with Salesforce to check which Outh that app using to run the apis smoothlt also we can change the data using POST callout.
In Postman there are several pre defined API which you can use to intergrate something or to make callouts.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only Dislike which i face is the Application history is not showing older than 4 months in the app but showing when we use in the browser. Which I want that that should give us the filter to fetch the particular date history, this will help massively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps me to integrate around 20+ platforms with salesforce using REST API as well as Graphql API. Also it helps me to delete no used webhooks of any platform. Postman has ability to direclty change any record of Salesforce using Autorization and login.
Postman helps me to easy my work when I have to intergrate any platfrom I just google and run those APIs into Postman and tried to retireve data according to my requirements, and postman always helps me in those situations.

Postman is a very useful API development and testing tool
What do you like best about the product?
It supports http methods like GET,POST,PUT,DELETE.It works with restful API and soap AI and websocket API's.It allows creation of enviornments with variables like Base URL's, API keys to simplify testing in different set ups (Dev,QA,Production). It can organize API requests into collections for better workflow management and the collection can include API calls, scripts and test cases. It can automate tasks like setting headers, autentication tokens or extracting data from the output response.It enbales to share the collections,test cases within the teams.It allows creating mock servers to simulate API responses for testing before the backend isfully developed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Postman is a very poswerful tool but it can slow down or crash when handling large collections or datasets.Postman is a desktop application which consumes significant CPU and RAM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manually testing API's using command-line tool or scripts can be time consuming and error prone.Postman allows developers to organize API requests into collections making it easier to manage and test APIs during development.postman lets users define environment with variables like base Url,tokens which enable users easy switching and consistency across environments.
API chaining provides flexibility and eases testing processes
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
With the help of Postman, I explore API training and other features. It is beneficial to have flexibility, especially with API chaining. This feature allows me to combine and, with the help of some code, run multiple APIs at once. API chaining is a very good concept and easy to implement.
What needs improvement?
Since I am not exhaustively using Postman, I never think about its limitations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Postman for the last four years. For four to five years, I have worked on Postman. Postman is a good tool.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would say the scalability is very good since it is very scalable. I have never faced a problem.
How are customer service and support?
I basically do not go to support. So I cannot tell you more, though I have some experience.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was using SoapUI before basically for web services. At that time, the web 3D AI concept was not implemented in the market.
How was the initial setup?
Initially, the setup is a little bit complex. Whenever a user comes to Postman for the first time, it is just a bit complex since they do not know where to start and what is the structure. However, once a user has gone through the things, it gets easy. Other tools are easy to use for the first-time user.
What other advice do I have?
Postman is easily available. Most of the features are already available, and people can learn and benefit from them. The other features are also very good in collaboration and API chaining.
It is easy to maintain and easy to share with other users. For example, if I have created a collection, I can share the collection with others and get a benefit.
This product deserves an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Solution simplifies web service testing with impressive speed and accessibility
What is our primary use case?
I use it to check web services. For instance, I can send a request and receive a response. My company, which is in the insurance industry, uses it as well.
What is most valuable?
It is very easy for me to use and I highly prefer it compared to SoapUI and other products for performing its job. It is more handy and faster. It has impacted us very nicely.
Postman is used for free by us. I'm not sure if there might be a paid version for multiple users. It is a very good product used for development. It is easy to install, as well as to learn, particularly for new users, even if they are not developers. I taught my business analyst to use it. I just showed them once, and it was easy for them to understand.
For example, I gave them the URL and request format and asked them to test independently. They were able to use it on their own and do their testing as well. It was a good experience, especially for generally smart people, like those we usually hire in our company. It is pretty easy to explain, and learning it is not complex.
What needs improvement?
It is really good. I don't think there is any need for comments on improvements. It is super.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate it ten out of ten for stability. It is a good product. It is a very good product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This solution is scalable. It can be scaled. Maybe, as mentioned, an automation feature would be beneficial. However, it is good in its own right. If it is changed, it might lose its purpose.
How are customer service and support?
It is a good thing that it was never needed. It is not needed. That is the best part. They might be there, but it is so good that you don't really need them.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I didn't really use it. I was the manager of the team, so I am not sure if it even has a collaboration feature. Maybe it can have a collaboration feature if it doesn't.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is very straightforward. It can be downloaded directly from the browser. It gets installed immediately. It is a good tool and doesn't even need to be installed; it can be used directly from the browser. It is good.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used Eclipse, Eclipse Duo, and all their versions, as well as Microsoft Azure or Visual Studio. I have used many tools actually.
The main difference is that it can also be used in the browser. It doesn't need to be installed always. Or even if it is, it is very easy to install. You just search for Postman, click download, and you start working on it.
Maybe there is a workspace requirement if your company needs it, however, that is also easy to manage. The main advantage is that getting started is quick and doesn't require going through a lot of documentation. It is pretty self-explanatory.
What other advice do I have?
If I have the use case to use it, like testing web services, it is the best tool out there. If I am developing any application, I should definitely use it because it is very easy. Also, in dark mode, it looks really cool. The dashboard looks cool in dark mode.
Overall rating: Ten out of ten.

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?
The primary use case for Postman is mostly for unit testing of the APIs. Additionally, I have developed scripts for end-to-end testing of the APIs.
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
