Kong Insomnia Reviews & Product Details

I like that Kong Insomnia is easy to install and get started with. Being a part of the Kong family of products, it's particularly suitable when working on the Kong API Gateway, which makes many features easily available, like MCP and connectivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, it does not have any AI capabilities. API capabilities are there, but if you want to have a natural language conversation interface for your API testing, similar to Postman, those features are not there in Kong Insomnia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Insomnia is great for multiple reasons. Most of them are open source, security and flawless functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some UI elements and components can not be collapsed, which limits user navigation on smaller screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use and collaboration in Kong Insomnia. I find it very agile and it has shortcuts that make it efficient for testing internal APIs or when I'm doing an integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price is a bit high for what they offer, which is just sharing; there are no open-source options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best platform to do testing of APIs and check the error logs against request Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is bit different the other platforms so new user getting difficulties Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not anything in particular comes to mind Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Way too limited org options

- Continously logged out and forced to reenable various crap

- Error messages are terrible and clearly not thought of - e.g. json parse errors in requests

- Bad UI

- Bad and cumbersome git integrations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to use for the Fresher and learn about Rest APIs

Some times Postman is confusing while using for Pre Test and Tests No extra steps or confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We cannot create Automation suite or write tests like we can do it on Postman.

kong insomnia is not very much scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is open source and it is well documented.

Has good coverage of different authentication modes, and environment variables. One of the best things is the code generation for the calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To unlock some features, like team collaboration, you need to have a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it very easy to use like for create and save workspace , import and export requests and to debug requests.And Insomnia supported a wide range of features, including REST, GraphQL, and SOAP requests, which made it a versatile tool that I could use for a variety of projects.

I think the documentation is not as comprehensive as I would like so that is too difficult to find information I need.And the application's performance can be slow when i working with l requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I most like about Insomnia is its user interface. You don't feel burdened by hundreds of options or buttons. Most things are easy to find, and the distribution of Request's List, Request Body, and Response Body are lovely and understandable, especially on small screens.

What I dislike about Insomnia is that it doesn't have a free tier and doesn't support as much automation as Postman. Apart from that, it is an excellent REST client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
