Postman review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use while doing the penetration test using burp as Proxy
What do you dislike about the product?
I have used postman during my Pentest process. Never feel any dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding Api flow
Collaboration and scripting features streamline test processes and improve API management
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The scripting capabilities in Postman are excellent. You can implement scripts before and after, making it easy to create interfaces. We have multiple versions available. I can mark which version to use when sending calls for authorization and tokens. Depending on the version and client, I can activate everything with one button through scripting.
Postman's collaboration tools, such as version control and team workspaces, are particularly useful when working with teams of three to four people. Some team members create scripts, and updates can be made through the cloud platform.
The collaboration features are valuable for maintaining and updating projects.
What needs improvement?
There are some limitations regarding large result sets in Postman. When dealing with several hundred records, accessing all the information can be challenging. However, these limitations are less restrictive compared to Swagger, which has more severe limitations when used with web navigation.
For how long have I used the solution?
The company purchases Postman licenses for multiple users.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Previously, we didn't use Postman but had API functionality through IIS. We implemented XML replies for SQL Server.
Postman's integration with CI/CD pipelines has impacted the continuity and deployment of our APIs. We use Postman to integrate with JIRA, collecting tasks through JIRA's commercial API. We are implementing experimental applications to read and collect information from JIRA.
Postman performs excellently for these integrations. The main challenge lies in understanding external documentation to access the API correctly, but once configured, Postman excels at collecting information.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Postman is an extremely stable program without any significant issues.
How are customer service and support?
I primarily use documentation and haven't tried support or extended support when considering Postman's adaptability for both REST and SOAP APIs.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use SwaggerHub at the client side to test and ensure API functionality. I only implement Postman in the client environment under exceptional circumstances.
How was the initial setup?
Postman is easy to set up, though company policy restricts implementing solutions on local machines.
What other advice do I have?
I utilize this product with AWS for REST applications. The automated testing features are available but limited by license restrictions. I primarily run repositories and work with JSON format. We have standardized all old XML versions to make implementation and future development easier.
I work as a programmer analyst for research and development. My email is marcel.cote@acceo.com.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate Postman a 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
The fast tool to send requests and receive responses, not so fast but for me the more complete tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Same to request and responses you can create scripts to resolve the most of problens in calls, to be personalised api without an complete api. The enviroments is the best to test apis in develop and production. All this this is just a part of this complete tool. I like so much!
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, nothing, for me is a complete tool and im really satifated with this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To send requests with tokens and test the if security is work property.

Postman provides a rich interface and automation to diagnose apis. This make easy to use and build an api collection.
What do you dislike about the product?
Collaboration is not that much smooth as expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a team of fron end and backend developers, Postman plays a major role for collaboration, This provides a way to share api details from backend team to front end team. And they can play arroud with apis with postman before integration.

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Postman is its ease of use and ease of implementation, making it simple to start testing APIs quickly. their customer support is reliable, and because of the tool's rich number of features, I find myself using it with high frequency of use. Plus the ease of integration with platforms like github & CI/CD pipelines makes Postman a complete solution for the API development and testing.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Postman is excellent, it can be slow and heavy on lower end machines. The pricing gets expensive for larger teams, and some advanced features come with a steep learning cureve. Also, key features depend on the cloud, which might not fit every team, and frequent updates some times cause minor bugs.

Login process is little bit tricky and not working properly some times. I faced issue in the login. Otherwise all other things are very fine.
