Helps to test APIs independently
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting.
What needs improvement?
The tool needs to have a reporting feature.
For how long have I used the solution?
I am using the tool for three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool's free version is scalable. My company has about 100 users for the tool.
How are customer service and support?
I never contacted the support team. Instead, I resorted to online help.
How was the initial setup?
The product's setup is easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
This tool is open-source and free to download and use.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the tool an eight out of ten. The product's features are simple. You will figure out to use the solution on your own. The tool is not hard to setup.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
API testing with postman is simple
What do you like best about the product?
We can create a workspace for the whole team to collaborate and test the APIs. Switching between environments (local, dev, stage, prod) within the same collection without duplicating is a good feature. Automatically fetching auth tokens from token generating script is good.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be good if postman could automatically load new bearer tokens whenever the existing permit is expired. Do we need the capability to run postman collections through Jenkins or any CI?CD pipelines easily without much configuration or using Newman.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman is helping in testing the APIs during development and after deployments. As a person from a non-technical background, it's pretty simple to operate postman and validate functionalities during Business Acceptance Testing.
Good free tool to test APIs
What do you like best about the product?
It has a great UI for adding, accessing, using APIs and for running tools. It is a great tool for small teams to develop APIs quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of its more useful features are a bit pricey
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps in being a one-stop solution for organizing all things required for developing and testing APIs in one place,

What do you dislike about the product?
-With the increased number of open tabs, it's very hard to identify the correct tab in need therefore, it will be really helpful if it will allow us to do some kind of logical grouping.
-It won't allow us to run API's in parallel, everything is just sequential.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As backend developers, we need to test a lot of API's in different environments. With Postman, we don't need multiple endpoints for the same as we can easily switch between different environments. Also, it has options to create sharable workspaces, where we can easily share an adequate number of collections with each other and increase productivity.
Postman - An amazing API tool
What do you like best about the product?
-One of the best tools I've ever used for testing all the APIs built by the team.
-It helps me create API requests, import and export the existing collections (to share them with others easily) and saves a lot of time.
-The option of creating a global and local variable and allowing these variables limited access is another fantastic feature.
-The ability to establish different workflows is another feature I like the most. This tool will assist us in keeping our work organized if we are working on multiple projects at once.
-Another feature that greatly assisted me in remembering which APIs I had used in earlier days is History Tracking.

What do you dislike about the product?
-Postman has several licensed features we can only access if we pay for them. If those functionalities were made available to the general public, I believe people would stop looking for alternative tools.
-Another thing I dislike about Postman is that the software server occasionally goes down during business hours and takes many hours to recover. But this issue occurs once a quarter.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
-Earlier, it was somewhat challenging to execute APIs in order, but Postman has fixed that issue by giving us a choice to run APIs in order. We can create a collection and then arrange our APIs in the order we want them to run.
-I work on APIs daily, I develop APIs, and then I need to create a workflow to check if the APIs are working as per my expectations. I use Postman daily to perform Unit testing and to run some edge cases. Hence, it benefits me by saving time and making my Unit testing more efficient.

Postman for api testing
What do you like best about the product?
I have used postman mostly just for API testing, I am new to API integration but postman is really easy to use so for me this is the best part of postman is that it can be used by users with almost no previous experience with API integration
What do you dislike about the product?
As of now, I have not used postman to the core but I think it's one of the best tools to test API, just small flaw is we cannot use a global variable in it. apart from that, I don't think there are any major drawbacks to the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Yes, Postman is solving many problems like API integration and API testing. I am a software developer so it's one of the most useful tools. it is very efficient and reliable. I literally don't know how else to test API's.
Only good for RESTful API
What do you like best about the product?
Postman supports various HTTP Verbs Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete. Easy to switch environments, saving progress, adding examples to a collection. Easy to create test suites by using templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Postman is only good for RESTFUL API'S, doesn't have good support for xml based web services like Soap. Doesn't have good integration capabilities, we can't really integrate with other platforms.

Building API's, debugging in all environments and writing test scripts from templates.
API testing tool- Postman

An API testing client tool used to develop, test and share API's. The format we use is basically JSON which is easy to operate. The best part is it is testing tool free and good for manual testing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The postman has a low script reusability and is a best suitable for REST API rather than SOAP .
Rest all the features are quite good and easy for automated testing and manual testing.

Postman is addressing key challenges in API development by providing a centralized platform for building, testing, and managing APIs. It streamlines the entire API development lifecycle, allowing for easier collaboration among team members and ensuring the delivery of high-quality APIs. Personally, Postman benefits me by simplifying the testing process, facilitating collaboration with team members, and providing a user-friendly interface for API development. It enhances efficiency, reduces development time, and helps ensure the reliability of the APIs I work with.
