Simplicity & Ease of Usage for testing your APIs

  • June 29, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely easy to use Postman for testing the APIs.

Constructing complex CURL requests is very easy since Postman provides a simple UI to model your API requests.

You have the collections that can be shared with others so that they can simulate / test your services or use them as implementation samples for their services.

I love that you can configure the authentication for overall APIs in postman or collections as well which in turn allows you to update such values once and use across other setups.
What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration option is very limited.

I really hope someday it can be integrated with your command line so to make things more automated and reduce grunt work. Things like auth tokens or environment variables if read from terminal, it would be a great add on for everyday purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use Postman to construct requests to test our APIs. This has been very useful so far with the feature Postman supports as of now.

We also use postman for creating and sharing collections across teams for those who are dependent on our services. These collections helps us to have a set of test bed which we can trigger to test all the endpoints of the services or selected ones without writing the requests again and again. Also, this can be shared with other teams for implementation purposes and they can use this as a general guideline on how to use our APIs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the one and only best option available in market for the use cases and it is building on that base and providing a set of tools and integration to make API development and maintenance a breeze. It will also, help improve save time on small tasks that we repeatedly do and teams will become more productive.

Its user interface is very crisp and easy to understand. Overall I like the look and feel of it and can also change the themes.

A steep learning curve is required because of the many options.

I have been using Postman for a long time to intercept the request response from REST Apis. It is rather a required tool for our organization. It helps immensely.

Test your API using Postman

  • June 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very friendly.
It is possible save and share collections
Possibility to document your API
History by API
Multiples workspace
Capture Request and cookies
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of option, maybe for beginner developers could be confused.
Sometimes the tool become slow..
When you open the application it is slow and takes time to load
There isn't a quick tutorial with videos about their use.
Sometimes editing the collection is tied to Postman, i.e. for changes you will need to import, edit, and then export to the project repository
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems:
Sometime the response times are different.
You must know Json Format
You Must know how Authorization a API using: Bearer Token, OAuth1, OAuth2, etc.


Benefits:
I Can do manually all the requests.
I perform test and debug the API
I can document the API
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend postman either in web version or desktop version to test and debug the rest APIs. So far I have not seen a tool that has all the functionalities of postman. At the beginning it was a bit confusing due to the lack of knowledge of the tool, but there are many pages like stackoverflow where they solve doubts or problems. In addition to this, on YouTube there are many tutorial videos where they explain how to use it.

Postman is an excellent tool for manually testing API calls

  • June 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing for me are environmental variables and easy to use folder structure for organizing. Another great thing is that if you just want to do some easy testing of an API that doesn't offer some interface for testing then it is easy for users to get going with a few clicks on postman. Generally, it's very user friendly software and I would recommend it!
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the big downsides of postman is that it can feel like there is so much going on and sometimes it's not easy to find just the right setting you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving the problem of doing relatively complicated POST requests against an API while testing. Sure, it could be a curl but that's not as easy to edit and harder to save for later.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a shot and if it doesn't work well there may be open source alternatives inspired by this app that suit your needs!

Great API testing tool

  • June 26, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The software installation is straig-forward and the options are very easy to configure. You can implement and test an API in few clicks. I have been using Postman for quite a long time and I encourage everybody to use when they have to test an API functionality. Furthermorse, the have added the environment variables that can save you a lot of time when you want to test your development endpoint and check the results also in Production.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are looking for a tool to be used with multiple users and you want to get them roles or privileges, you will have to opt for the paid license. Otherwise you can opt for the free license. SSO authentication is also not available in free license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can test all my API environment quickly and with few clicks.It is very useful to have the API calls organized by collections. I love the way it is organized in tabs.
Sometimes I have some difficulties when I run a long request and it seems to be frozen because it takes some time to respond.
