Postman Review
Time-saving API testing with automated coding and easy-to-learn interface
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
I have found that our time is significantly saved in terms of debugging and writing down the code manually as Postman allows us to add the code with the help of test and assertions, eliminating the need to write code ourselves.
What is most valuable?
The user interface is very easy to learn and use, and it is a lightweight application. It's also an open-source tool for API testing. One of the best features is that you really don't need to be an expert in any programming language because Postman can generate the codes automatically for you.
What needs improvement?
Postman needs to improve its support for a lot of integrations. Additionally, browser add-ins or extensions would be helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Postman for quite a while, perhaps for the past seven or eight years.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy and simple.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Being an open-source tool, it's a lightweight tool that I would prioritize as number one.
What other advice do I have?
I would prefer Postman as my priority since it's an open-source tool, simple to install and use. You don't need to be a programming expert to use it, which presents several advantages.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Enhancing efficiency with robust API testing and integration potential
What is our primary use case?
We have been using Postman primarily for API automation.
How has it helped my organization?
API automation is crucial because every change in an API could have a significant impact. Postman has greatly reduced the effort required in testing APIs, thus enhancing our efficiency.
What is most valuable?
Postman is easy to use and enables us to test all possible API testing scenarios. It is economical compared to other testing tools, which is a valuable feature for us.
What needs improvement?
The main improvement needed is better integration with test management and other tools to allow a common dashboard for all testing metrics and details.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Postman for four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Postman is stable enough for our needs, although we have not tested it extensively with a large number of test cases.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We did not test Postman with thousands of test cases, so we cannot comment on its scalability for larger repositories.
How are customer service and support?
We have not contacted Postman's technical support as we have managed all our needs internally.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to using Postman, we used SoapUI. SoapUI was very basic and lacked many features that were then added in the paid version, SoapUI Pro, which was expensive. Postman provides better features than SoapUI.
How was the initial setup?
Installation of Postman is straightforward and can be completed in a few hours by one person.
What about the implementation team?
We did not require any external team for the implementation and managed it internally.
What was our ROI?
The return on investment is significant due to Postman's efficiency in automating API testing, which involves many input and output parameters.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Postman is economical and is considered to be rather cheap compared to other software solutions.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated other tools such as Katalon, Tricentis Tosca, and Universal Function Test (UFT) from OpenText.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend enhancing Postman's integration capabilities with test management tools to better consolidate testing metrics.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
