Postman Reviews

We are using it to test the API service for the GET and the POST. For this type of test, it is working properly for the APIs. It tests for the minimum usage of Postman. Also, if developers insist in collections, then we can share these collections as well.

1. We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors. 
2. We can use the code for performance testing.

• It is easy to use.
• It's free.
• It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes. 
• We are using the automation and performance testing tools. 

We would like to create an entire suite where we can check the contents of the definition, like the server file. It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side.

We cannot see transaction times in the product.

You can send it multiple tests at one time.

We have not used technical support yet.

The initial setup was very straightforward. It was easy to install, because it is a very lightweight application.

It is free.

I am searching for other options now.

We started using this solution because we have a requirement to do more integration testing and automated regression testing.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor:

• Saves time.
• Creates automate processes.
• Easy to use.
• Easy to understand.
• Provides knowledge transfer.
• Less coding involved.
• Does not take up a lot of memory.
• Cost.

The solution is used for testing APIs, building monitors, and scheduling everyday runs to check API health.

Environment variable setup, pre-request script, tests, and monitors are most helpful.

The initial setup is simple. 

The Postman monitor will give the pass and fail status in the console. It could serve better if there is a downloadable report which gives tabular details of response time against each API and a pass/fail count (graphical representation) after the monitor runs.

The performance needs to be improved. Postman application freezes when a whole lot of APIs run under a collection.

I have been using this solution for two years.

Observed performance issues when used excessively. The application freezes and needs a restart. The response of the app is slow while running a collection with a lot of APIs.

We do have some interaction with technical support. They are responsive and knowledgeable about the product.

I used SoapUI previously. I found Postman to be more interactive and accessible compared to SoapUI.

It's a very straightforward solution to install. I'd rate the process five out of five in terms of ease of deployment. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Our primary use case for the solution is data-driven testing for API. We get data from the environment, and we have some APIs to get the data.

The API testing features are valuable.

The solution could be more user-friendly and improve its documentation.

We have been using the solution for approximately one year.

The solution is stable.

We have not tested the extent of its scalability yet. Currently, ten people are using the solution in our organization.

We previously did not use other solutions.

The initial setup was complex because we had limited first-time user experience. I rate the setup process a six out of ten.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. I advise users considering this solution to watch Youtube videos to bridge the documentation gap.

Our company uses the solution as a developer platform for testing APIs. Our backend team develops APIs which are then pushed to the solution for QA testing and configuration. 

It is very easy to create and manage different environments for testing. We can plug in different URLs and variables to test in a local environment before going to production. 

The solution has a great user interface and collection of features. 

Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream subtype which provides responses in chunks for files that can be downloaded and viewed. We had an issue with multi-part requests recently and had to fix it. 

I have been using the solution for four years. 

The solution is stable with no issues. We have never experienced a problem or crash. 

The solution is scalable. An improvement to the octet-stream will enhance scalability for testing APIs. 

I have not escalated questions to support. One time I experienced an issue switching URLs in our environment, but haven't experienced it since. The solution's developers and QA team are continuously improving the product. 

The setup was really easy and was accomplished by configuring our email. 

Different projects automatically sync to the solution upon login so we are able to import files and configure API setups for other team members. 

We implemented the solution in-house and there is no maintenance because continuous updates are provided. 

I use the solution and other team members use Swagger. 

The solution is a great tool for managing APIs and should be used by developers and QA teams. It performs important testing for understanding how APIs work or whether any bugs exist and can be used to set up product domains. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the solution for API testing. 

It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting. 

The tool needs to have a reporting feature. 

I am using the tool for three years. 

The tool's free version is scalable. My company has about 100 users for the tool.

I never contacted the support team. Instead, I resorted to online help. 

The product's setup is easy. 

This tool is open-source and free to download and use.

I would rate the tool an eight out of ten. The product's features are simple. You will figure out to use the solution on your own. The tool is not hard to setup.
