"Technical support is helpful."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"It is a stable solution."
"Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."
