Postman Reviews

We use Postman for testing and documenting APIs. I'm the technical director. 

Postman helps me recreate our client environment so I can send different parameters and get that authentication information. Postman helps me simulate the API code from a fictitious client application so that I can check the API behavior. It gives you a good ecosystem, especially when you have a multi-discipline team that is scattered. It's a great product, easy to use, and people like it. 

I think they could make version management easier and release it when it comes to container-based or Docker-based architecture. The solution is not really integrated in the sense that there's no distinction regarding single-tenant or multi-tenant use, or whether there are different versions for different container applications. Different versions of APIs might be required but there's currently no distinction between them. 

I think Postman should now focus on integrating into the whole DevOps and CI/CD pipeline and publish more white papers and articles to make it easier for somebody doing the DevOps and integrating Postman into the different development scenarios. 

I've been using this solution for five months. 

The solution is very stable. We were able to test it and simulate different client experiences. 

The solution is scalable, we use it for millions of customers' API codes. 

We haven't needed to contact technical support because the documentation is very straightforward and very helpful. It has good community support.

The initial setup was straightforward and was carried out in-house.

We've been using the open-source version until now, but I think within the next six months we might move to the enterprise solution. Licensing costs are reasonable, in the mid-range. There are more expensive solutions. 

Postman has taken the development community by storm. A lot of developers are using Postman for different things. Not everybody understands the end-to-end capability of Postman yet; one person might think it's only for testing, another that you can build applications, and somebody else might use it for documentation. Different developers look at it from different perspectives, and it has huge versatility. 

I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

We use Postman for API testing, and I am also using it for training purposes.

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.

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.

Postman needs to improve its support for a lot of integrations. Additionally, browser add-ins or extensions would be helpful.

I have been using Postman for quite a while, perhaps for the past seven or eight years.

The initial setup is very easy and simple.

Being an open-source tool, it's a lightweight tool that I would prioritize as number one.

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.

Postman is a good tool for completing a sanity check or smoke test of REST APIs. It's a quick way to manage your REST API-related test cases, and it gives good options for assertions for the response of the APIs. We have 30 people using this solution in our business. 

Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses.

Postman could be improved by providing options for performance testing of APIs. We would like to complete performance testing of a specific set of API's by checking them against thousands of the records and checking responses times.

I have been using this solution for six years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution.

The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

The primary use case of this solution is for the API manual testing, manual verification to get the response, and for API automation.

The most valuable feature is the user interface because it provides a clear space for the URL, headers, body, prerequisites, and tests.

The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct. I would like to see functionality added for uploading specific scripts and not the entire collection.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The web app version is more stable than the desktop application.

The solution is scalable.

The support team is very responsive in resolving any issues we have.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution is free for individuals, but for companies that use it across the organization, you have to pay per user. The solution is competitively priced.

I give the solution ten out of ten.

If you have a small amount of knowledge of HTTP status codes, how to make collections, and how to deal with environment variables is enough to use this solution.

We have 1000 people in our organization using the solution daily.

We are using Postman to verify and test APIs.

The solution has helped us make better APIs. The solution is able to provide us with error reports if there are problems with the APIs. This has saved our developers time.

The most valuable feature of Postman is the verification and testing of APIs. 

Postman could improve the saving date capabilities. 

I have been using Postman for approximately five years.

The stability of Postman is good.

The solution is scalable.

All the developers in my company are using this solution.

I rate the support for Postman a four out of five.

Positive

I have used Swagger. I would recommend Swagger for the backend developers. The APIs only need to be set up once, then Swagger generates the document for all of them. In Postman the APIs need to be set up manually.

The initial setup of Postman is straightforward.

I rate the price of Postman a four out of five.

We evaluated other options before we choose Postman.

I rate Postman a nine out of ten.

I use Postman for API testing. I use this solution for UI or automation purposes.

I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature.

It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly.

I have been using Postman for three to four months.

Postman is a stable product.

Postman is a scalable product. We have two or three users using Postman in our organization.

The initial setup is straightforward because we are IT professionals. 

On a scale from one to five, I would give the initial setup a 5.

I am using the free option.

ReadyAPI is very good, but you have to pay for it. Postman has a free option, and that is why I am using it. ReadyAPI is more user-friendly. For example, its features elaborate on what happened. You can right-click on the thing and add the features. In Postman, we have to find things from the inside and then get it into the project. The main difference with Postman is the ability to connect with different application tools integrated with Jira and database connectivity. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Postman a nine.

We use this solution to create multiple automations for a number of different users. 

We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half.

This is a fairly good tool and I would recommend it to others. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

I use the tool to test the APIs that are developed. 

The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing. 

I would like to see more integrations with other platforms. 

I have been working with the product for five years. 

The product is stable. 

My company has 100 users for the product. 

The tool's setup is straightforward and took less than an hour to complete. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The product's user interface is better than others.
