AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Postman excels in user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher G2 Score compared to Swagger UI. Users appreciate its intuitive interface, stating, "I like how simple the interface is—even as a beginner, I didn’t feel lost while using it."
- Users say that Postman offers a robust set of features for API testing, with many highlighting its scripting capabilities. One user mentioned, "The scripting capabilities within the 'Pre-request Script' and 'Tests' tabs are what truly elevate Postman from a simple client to a full automation suite."
- Reviewers mention that Swagger UI is convenient for quick API checks, with one user noting, "best interface if you need to check API requests fast." However, it lacks the extensive feature set that Postman provides for more complex testing scenarios.
- According to verified reviews, Postman shines in its ease of setup and administration, with users reporting a smooth onboarding experience. In contrast, Swagger UI, while easy to configure, does not match the overall user experience that Postman delivers.
- G2 reviewers highlight that Postman has a strong support system, with a quality of support score that reflects its commitment to helping users. Users have expressed satisfaction with the assistance they receive, while Swagger UI's support is perceived as slightly less responsive.
- Users note that Postman is particularly effective for teams working in mid-market environments, as it caters well to collaborative API development. Swagger UI, while useful for small businesses, may not offer the same level of scalability and collaboration features that larger teams require.
