AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Postman excels in user satisfaction, with a high overall score reflecting its intuitive interface and powerful features. Users appreciate how easy it is to send requests and test different endpoints, making it a favorite for both beginners and experienced developers.
- Users say that AWS AppSync is user-friendly and easy to navigate, particularly for those creating serverless APIs. However, it faces challenges in comparison to Postman, which offers more robust scripting capabilities that allow for complex request chaining and automation.
- Reviewers mention that Postman’s implementation process is quick and straightforward, with many highlighting the intuitive onboarding wizard. In contrast, while AWS AppSync provides useful documentation for complex implementations, some users may find the initial setup more challenging.
- According to verified reviews, Postman shines in its API testing capabilities, receiving high praise for its scripting features that elevate it beyond a simple client. Users love the ability to programmatically capture tokens and automate workflows, which is less emphasized in AWS AppSync.
- G2 reviewers highlight that Postman has a significantly larger user base and more recent reviews, indicating a strong community and ongoing support. This contrasts with AWS AppSync, which has fewer reviews and a smaller market presence, potentially affecting the availability of user-generated resources and support.
- Users report that both products offer solid support, but Postman edges out with a slightly higher quality of support score. Users appreciate the responsiveness and helpfulness of Postman’s support team, while AWS AppSync users also find their support satisfactory but not as robust.
