Postman Reviews & Product Details

I really like how Postman supports teamwork. I can share an API request, and the backend team that builds the API can work on it and provide the endpoints we need. That lets us test everything before integrating it into the application, so we can catch specific errors or issues early. I also find the initial setup very straightforward and easy to get started with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Postman throws errors but doesn’t make it clear where they’re actually coming from. That’s frustrating because it also doesn’t really point me toward how to fix them. I’ve also noticed that using the same account on different devices can show different requests—for example, a folder might not appear, or updated requests don’t show up—so I end up having to clear cookies (or do something similar) just to confirm whether any changes were made to the API. On top of that, it’s a hassle that there’s no simple refresh button to quickly pull in and view those changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Postman is how easy it makes API testing and debugging. I can quickly create and send requests, inspect responses, manage different environments, and validate API behavior without needing to write a lot of code. Features like collections, environment variables, request history, testing APIs efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't yet used postman for scripting, so till now i haven't noticed any drawbacks in my case however i have heard it is bit hectic to do it, regardless i will utilize it. Few notable things i dislike about postman is when a duplicate curl is created and changes are made to it, sometimes those changes are resetted. Additionally sometimes out of nowhere even though the application not started it gets auto-open in middle of my work. which is a bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Postman is how easy it makes API development, testing, and debugging. It lets me organize API collections, manage environments, automate test cases, and quickly validate API responses, which saves a lot of development time and improves collaboration across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One limitation I've experienced with Postman is that managing large API collections and environments can become difficult as projects grow. When working with multiple AI services and backend APIs, collections can get cluttered, making navigation and maintenance more time-consuming. In addition, collaboration features like advanced governance, reporting, and workspace management are more useful in the paid plans, which can be limiting for smaller teams. Overall, these are minor drawbacks, and they don't outweigh the value Postman provides for API development and testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman has been an excellent tool for API development and testing. Its intuitive interface makes it simple to create, organize, and test REST APIs, while also allowing me to quickly inspect requests and responses. Features such as collections, environments, authentication support, and automated testing have noticeably improved my development workflow. It helps me debug APIs more quickly, validate integrations with confidence, and collaborate smoothly with my team, making the overall API development process more efficient and productive.

Postman is a powerful API development tool, but there are still a few areas where it could improve. The desktop app can feel resource-intensive at times, especially when I’m working with large collections or juggling multiple workspaces. I’ve also found that some of the more advanced features are locked behind paid plans, which can be limiting for individual developers and small teams.

On top of that, syncing between workspaces and loading large collections can occasionally be slower than I expect. Better overall performance, a more streamlined interface for new users, and making more collaboration features available in the free tier would go a long way toward improving the experience.

I use Postman for API testing. With Postman, I can hit any endpoint directly, so I don’t need to create a UI first and then integrate it just to create an API endpoint and test it. I’ve set up multiple environments like dev, stage, and prod, and I can easily switch between environments when needed. I can also save environment variables such as cookies and API keys in the header, and then test all of our API endpoints. Postman shows the API response details, including the status code, headers, and response time, which helps me debug issues before moving our code to production so we can fix things before pushing code to production.

This is a heavy, resource-intensive app, and my system sometimes lags when I’m using it. When I need to test multiple APIs at the same time, the tab management also isn’t great. Things get cluttered quickly, and then when I try to find a specific endpoint, I end up getting lost in all the tabs. It wastes my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman makes API testing very use. I use it to send requests, inspect responses, and quickly debug issues without having to write extra code. Saving collections and environments makes it easy to switch between different setups, and sharing them with teammates helps everyone stay on the same page. Overall, it saves a lot of time during development and makes testing APIs much more organized and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can feel a bit overwhelming at first because there are so many features and options. Sometimes the desktop app also feels a little slow when working with large collections or multiple environments, it lags a lot then which is very frustrating.

The biggest advantage of Postman is its intuitive interface and the ability to test REST APIs without writing custom scripts. Creating requests, managing environments, organizing collections, and automating API testing is straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest advantage of Postman is its intuitive interface and the ability to test REST APIs without writing custom scripts. Creating requests, managing environments, organizing collections, and automating API testing is straightforward.

Some of the features I find most valuable are:

Easy API request creation with support for all HTTP methods.

Environment variables and collections that make testing across development, staging, and production environments effortless.

Pre-request scripts and test scripts using JavaScript for automation.

Collection Runner for executing multiple API requests in sequence.

API documentation generation and easy sharing with team members.

Authentication support (Bearer Token, OAuth 2.0, API Keys, Basic Auth, JWT, etc.).

Import/export support for OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications.

Integration with CI/CD pipelines using Newman.

Excellent collaboration features for teams working on the same APIs.

The learning curve is minimal, and even junior developers can become productive quickly.

What do you dislike about Postman?

While Postman is an excellent product, there are a few areas that could be improved:

The desktop application can become memory-intensive when working with very large collections.

Syncing large workspaces occasionally feels slower than expected.

Some advanced collaboration and governance features are available only in higher-tier paid plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman makes API testing very simple and efficient. I like how easy it is to create requests, test endpoints, manage collections, and share them with team members.

One feature I use frequently is Collections and Environment Variables. They help avoid entering the same values repeatedly and make testing across different environments much easier in my everyday work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the application can become slow when working with very large collections or multiple environments. Managing a large number of requests can also become difficult if collections are not organized properly.

I have also noticed occasional sync delays when sharing collections across team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Postman almost every time I'm working with backend APIs because it lets me test endpoints before connecting them to the frontend. I especially like collections and environment variables since they save me from repeatedly changing base URLs, tokens, and IDs while switching between local and deployed environments. The ability to inspect headers, payloads, status codes, and response times in one place makes debugging much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once collections start growing, keeping requests organized takes some effort and the desktop app can become noticeably heavier during long sessions. I also wish more collaboration and monitoring features were available on the free plan since many individual developers and students rely on it for learning and personal projects.

I use Postman pretty much every day, and the features I rely on the most are Environments and Variables. Being able to switch between development, staging, and production without editing every single request saves me from making a lot of silly mistakes, especially when I'm juggling multiple projects at the same time. I've also really liked how the API Collaboration features have evolved. Sharing collections, documentation, examples, and test cases with the rest of the team has replaced a bunch of separate documents we used to maintain. Everything lives in one place now, which makes life a lot easier. On top of that, the documentation around Postman itself is some of the best I've worked with. Performance has been solid too. Even with fairly large collections, I rarely run into stability issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I'd point out is that some of the newer features, like Flows and a few of the more advanced collaboration tools, take a bit longer to get comfortable with. Postman has grown into a much bigger platform over the years, so learning the basics is easy, but getting the most out of everything it offers definitely takes some time.
