A must for would be API Librarians
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use yet powerful provided you can code a bit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't access databases (or at least I have not found a way).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting and testing APIs is a matter of organisation, and Postman makes it very easy to organise API tests into logical suites (collections). I call myself an API Librarian rather than a tester because to me the greatest aspect of Postman is the ability to organise requests.
When it comes to repetitive coded test elements, like setting a valid future date or calculating and expected value, Postman offers very powerful variable options at a local and global level.
We are writing Javascript to provide additional functionality, which could become a maintenance headache, but in Postman you can load the Javascript into a variable and simply call the function you need into the individual tests.
Using Newman we integrate the Postman collection tests into our CI environment, running automatically at every build and deployment. This works with Jenkins, Bamboo and GoCD (and similar tools).
And finally because the tests are easy to understand our non-technical stakeholders can get involved. I only wish I could write tests that go to check the contents of databases (like Couchbase or MongoDB as well as SQL databases) from within Postman.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make extensive use of yourself an easy life and treat it like a library or catalogue of API requests.
Wonderful way to easily test apis
What do you like best about the product?
I like how the combination of a good UI and how the features provided allow such an easy way to quickly hit APIs for testing purposes
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't run into any problems yet, it gets the job done just as expected
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing API endpoints
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for hitting API endpoints quickly.
Allows saving request configurations and grouping them into collections for quick access

The most used software at work
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to save and manage API calls. Lot of great features to make lives of API developers easy. This is one tool every API developer must have. It is more powerful and easy to use compared to some of its competitors . It rolls out upgraded versions pretty often and usually new and good features are added. Lot of information about the information is made available to the users, including cookies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably when it was new, it was a bit hard to save and maintain requests for multiple environments, but now this is not the case. Saving or cloning can sometimes be a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is used to test API calls while developing or used by quality engineers to test various API calls. It is used to test our APIs on multiple environments, including our local boxes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A Must have tool for any API developer or tester. Definitely needs to be tried.
Great Tool for API Development
What do you like best about the product?
It has a very low entry barrier. I simply downloaded Postman and got to work right away. Also like that it can handle sessions from the browser.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to find something I dislike. Maybe something local to the app to invite new users to collections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed some way to easily test our API endpoints. We were currently either calling it directly in the browser, or hooking it up to our front end and debugging from there. Postman has made API development so much easier, with instant results.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore all the features it has to offer.
Perfect tools for testing API
What do you like best about the product?
- The interface is so friendly.
- You can test API calls or any HTTP request with it.
- Is multiplatform.
- Allow you to document your API in an easy way

What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a little bit complicated. The learning curve is a little bit complicated. It's a powerful app but if you want to 100% understand it, need to spend so much time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to test API REST whatever method you want (GET, POST, DELETE,...). Without this tool the way in which we test our API would be very complicated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
100% recommended to anybody who wants to test API environment
Postman - Best Rest Api Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy manage diferents enviroments. I have 4 enviroments with its own variables, local, development, preproduction and production. I can test all the API REST in the desired enviroment with one click
What do you dislike about the product?
Before version 6.40 i had a problem with SSL HandShake v3, but it's solved in the version 6.40
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Postman to test that the API works correctly, I can evalueate the time spent in the request and, if there is an issue in production, I can see if it's an API problem or is a frontend error
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a easy and powerful software to test you API, Postman is a very good option
Run HTTP requests
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a very easy to use UI for simple HTTP requests that works even on Windows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup can be annoying if your IT department seems to think developers don’t need to be able to use tools they want to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing REST endpoints.
Great tool to test API
What do you like best about the product?
Great Interface to test and arrange your API's The API's can be categorized as needed. Its ability to export and import API's is the best. When working with teams, it makes it much easier to co-ordinate the effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
Time to load initially. If its possible to load the page much faster it would be better. Apart from this, do not see any shortcomings so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Test API and make sure they work as expected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool to test API's and arrange them.
Indispensable tool for api development
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to get to grips with, storage of last session, environment switching and cloning.
What do you dislike about the product?
If it could integrate with a VS project and store all settings for others to use that would be the icing on the cake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API development - I really couldn't imagine testing and coding against an API without this tool.
Very useful for debugging APIs
What do you like best about the product?
The product just works. Has every option I could possibly think of needing, and many more besides
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit slow to start up, and the opening messages/animations are pretty corny, almost juvenile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need to test our back-end API without having to call from our front-end app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Interface is clean an powerful, if somewhat overwhelming. Have never had an issue with performance.
