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.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

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

"Clean and peaceful user interface"
5/5
What do you like best about Kong Insomnia?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

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.

"It is an excellent lightweight API Rest and GraphQL client"
5/5
What do you like best about Kong Insomnia?

It is lightweight, and the user interface is very clean, and not as crowded as user interfaces in other API clients. I have liked it since I watched it for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

It would be cool if it has automatic API testing or a better Documentation module. The current Docs tab is just a Description field. It would be cool if it were similar to Postman or Readme.io. In the company where I am working, this was the problem of why the company decided not to continue with Insomnia. It was nice to share collections, but we needed documentation.

"Review for insomnia"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Kong Insomnia?

I used insomnia last 2 years and I love to use this tool as a rest API test and call API. I can easily and quickly send REST, and SOAP requests within these tools. UI of this tool is built as an easy to understand what I have to do next. I get what is expected from the API tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

The dislike part about insomnia is this tool is used by some software developers only. Several times I had to send another tool proof to my client as they did not use insomnia. The community is small and taking time to get the answer from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent, lightweight, beautiful and feature rich API Client"
5/5
What do you like best about Kong Insomnia?

I have been using it for approx three (3) years. It has a beautiful UI that is feature-rich. It supports REST and GraphQL. It even has a feature to filter the results received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

It fulfills my requirements. There is not much to dislike. The only issue is that not too many people use it, so if I share the APIs with new team members, I also need to tell them about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
