A must have
What do you like best about the product?
It allows you to easily test api endpoints, share your saved collections, and even helps generate useful code in a variety of languages to make an api call
What do you dislike about the product?
Bulk collection editing could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to test our custom-built api endpoints. It's a massive timesaver. Team collaboration is fantastic as well
Best tool for sending HTTP requests
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can organize calls into collections and use prerequest scripts and tests (post-request scripts, essentially) to parameterize data to make sequential calls simpler. i.e. an authentication call, take the token response and save it as {{token}} for subsequent calls.
What do you dislike about the product?
the tabbed structure makes saving changes and properties around different calls in your collection a little bit confusing at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we have many API's and we use postman to test against them
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it. For sure. it's the best tool there is for mocking HTTP requests.
Great and light product
What do you like best about the product?
Essential software to test all your development tools. What I like the most is how easy it is to use this software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike ? I can only say good things about this software, sorry
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
with postman, we can quickly test all of our development features in a second. Really helpful for debugging and see results.
Use for testing in a Support Role
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and customization (i.e presets)
What do you dislike about the product?
Sync feature, i don't understand it's purpose as it only caused problems after I logged int..of course, this could be another issue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing API calls, etc through postman to help customers
A primordial tool for API developpment
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use. In a couple of minutes you can test a request on your server and debug it if needed
What do you dislike about the product?
Some issues with HTTPS testing with self-signed certificate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With postman i can test my API developpment really fast
Awesome way to test services
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of testing Ajax calls, http gets and posts. Great way to debug problems with payloads
What do you dislike about the product?
My only gripe is the user experience, I feel it could be more friendly to save new services without overwriting old ones
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The issue with errors developing calls and services when integrating with 3rd party vendors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it!
A great API tool!!
What do you like best about the product?
It allows you to test the API web services you are working on in a test or prod environment. You can send headers and a request body. You also are able to choose what type of HTTP calls to make. Its also great for testing if a service is up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a while to get used to writing the code for automated testing. But once you learn it, its very easy to use. Not the best if you need certificates installed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
testing web service APIs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it, it's free!!
Postman for all your GET, POST, DELETE needs and more!
What do you like best about the product?
Incredibly easy to use UI, direct and to the point, making GET or POST requests has never been easier, very intuitive headers and body to input data as corresponds to API and done!
What do you dislike about the product?
Love everything about it! I use this tool almost daily to try out new requests or check why a request isn't working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API connection requests (GET, POST, DELETE, etc)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it!
Absolute WebServices control
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility to create collections and environment variables so it is not needed to change all the time the connectivity parameters working with different environments. Easy to introduce headers and body in different formats depending on your needs and input data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a bit complicated when you try to use the tests functionality and other non-basic features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing the REST WebServices I need to use before implementing them on my application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn to use all the functionalities of the application since the potential is really high. Get some time to know what can you do with it, it will be well invested time.
Cannot live without Postman for my work!
What do you like best about the product?
#1 it is free.
#2 I love the fact that I can test pretty much any API in almost any configuration and get an immediate and correct response.
#3 I can create test payloads with ease and clone/copy my tests into folders for easy sorting and organization
#4 I can send payloads in any format needed (form posts, gets, raw text, json, etc). I can literally recreate any submission type I need.
#5 Once I have the payload sorted out, I can export into any processing format I may need: AJAX/JS, C#, Node/JS, etc.
#5 I can retrieve payload responses and then export those into any format I may need: JSON, XML, plain text, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Believe it or not the biggest issue I have is actually just creating a new "test" inside a Collection. The UI is terrible in that regard. I usually end up duplicating from another collection, sort of blank it out , and then start from there. Maybe I'm not doing something right here but the UI is not clear for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to quickly test and debug third-party vendor APIs. This has two benefits 1.) we can hold third-party vendors accountable and immediately put them to work fixing any issues in their services 2.) we can quickly pass payloads of any shape or size to quickly get metrics on the APIs we are testing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't know if it is possible but can you make it an option to share or forward an individual test to another user? I see you can export entire Collections but sometimes I don't need quite that much. This would be really nice to have as I work with other developers where I have to export or take screenshots of the tests I'm building local.
