Postman Reviews & Product Details

Postman makes API development and testing simple and efficient. I mainly use it to test REST APIs in my Spring Boot applications, and it lets me quickly send requests, manage headers, and validate responses without having to write extra code. The Collections feature is especially helpful for keeping APIs organized, and environment variables make it easy to switch between different setups, such as development and production. I also appreciate the built-in testing scripts and the authentication support (JWT, OAuth 2.0), which saves me a lot of time during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside is that Postman can feel slow or heavy when I’m working with large collections or keeping multiple tabs open. At times, syncing with the cloud workspace takes a while, which can get in the way of smooth collaboration. I’ve also found that some helpful features—like advanced monitoring and stronger team collaboration options—are limited in the free version, and that can be a real constraint for growing teams.

Best thing i like about postman as a developer is it helps a lot to check the current status and response of api's to test and it gives proper response with code which helps a developer to find the route cause if any problem arises,

Most of the time, rather than checking the whole code, i check API in postman first to check wheather data is coming or not, if its api fault chhecking code is of no use, postman saves this time.

I usually use it more for SMS Service api test, to check the 3rd party api's wheather they are getting proper data or not.

at the end Its an very blessing software for developers, dosent depend you are a web dev or an app, same thing works for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface ban be improved, during run only the user interface iseems like complex. when i ask my Jr Developers to use the same, most of them gets confused with the UI, moreover for some config,its not fast, company should provide LITE Version for other users also who have low config machine.

Advance Team colabs are fully paid which limits user to a certain extent, this thing needs to be improved, and inteface should be very simple.

For experienced Developers its very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me test my APIs without writing any code. It also helps me save my APIs, and it allows me to group related APIs together. On top of that, it lets me validate my responses by writing test scripts in JS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it gets slow because of heavy APIs. Also, to use a few features I need to purchase the paid version. For large projects, maintaining the APIs is a bit hard as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Postman is how easy it makes testing APIs. I don't have to write a script or set up anything complicated. I just put in the URL, select the method, add my body or params, and send the request, seeing the response clearly on the same screen helps a lot. It feels very simple and fast, especially when I'm debugging something in the backend. I also like that I can save my request in a collection, so I don't need to rewrite everything again. It helps me work faster without overthinking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don't like is that sometimes it feels heavy when too many tabs or collections are open. It can slow down a bit. Also, a few features are hidden behind menus, so it takes time to find them when I'm in a hurry. Syncing across devices works, but occasionally I feel it takes time to update. The desktop app also needs to be updated frequently, which interrupts my work for a minute or two. These are small things, but I notice them in my daily use.

Postman’s environment variables and collection runner are indispensable for backend development. I specifically appreciate how easily I can switch between local, staging, and production environments without changing the request body. The ability to write Pre-request and Test scripts in JavaScript allows me to automate authentication flows (like capturing a JWT and setting it as a global variable), which saves hours during recursive domain testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The desktop application can become quite resource-heavy (RAM consumption) when working with massive collections or multiple workspaces open. Additionally, the transition from the 'Scratchpad' to the forced Cloud Sync can be a hurdle for developers working on strictly local or offline environments, though the collaboration features partially make up for it.

What I like most about Postman is how it brings everything related to API development into one place. Creating, testing, and documenting APIs is very intuitive, and the UI makes it easy to quickly inspect requests, responses, headers, and errors. Features like environments, collections, and pre-request/test scripts save a lot of time when working across multiple APIs or stages (dev, staging, prod). It’s especially useful for collaboration, as teams can share collections and stay aligned without extra setup. Overall, it significantly improves productivity and confidence while working with APIs.

One minor downside is that some advanced features can feel overwhelming for new users, especially when first exploring environments, scripting, or collaboration tools. The desktop app can also be a bit heavy on resources when working with very large collections. That said, these are small trade-offs considering how powerful and feature-rich Postman is, and the learning curve pays off quickly once you start using it regularly.

Postman makes API development feel simple and efficient. The interface is clean and intuitive, so it’s easy to create, test, and manage APIs without a steep learning curve. Features such as collections, environments, variables, and pre-request scripts help streamline my workflow and cut down on repetitive tasks. I also really appreciate how straightforward it is to collaborate with teammates by sharing collections and documentation, which keeps everyone aligned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman is a powerful tool, but it can feel resource-heavy when I’m working with large collections or juggling multiple workspaces. I also find it limiting that some of the more advanced collaboration and monitoring features are locked behind paid plans, which isn’t always ideal for small teams or individual developers. On top of that, I occasionally run into sync issues between cloud and local workspaces, and those hiccups can be pretty frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman makes working with APIs much easier and more organized. I like how simple it is to create, test, and debug API requests in one place. Features like collections, environments, and variables help manage complex APIs efficiently. It’s also very useful for collaboration, as teams can share collections and documentation easily, which speeds up development and testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the tool has grown, it can sometimes feel a bit heavy, especially for simple API testing needs. Some advanced features have a learning curve for new users. Additionally, certain useful features are limited to paid plans, which may not be ideal for small teams or individual developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Postman for making and testing APIs, which I love doing. As a full-stack developer, my work heavily depends on APIs. Postman makes creating and testing them easy and efficient, which I find invaluable. I really appreciate its user-friendly nature, allowing me to access APIs effortlessly and conduct tests smoothly. I also like the saving feature in Postman, which I think is fantastic for future tasks and something I truly enjoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel API testing is a bit slow and could be improved. Also, there's no team sharing project feature, which makes me sad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. I love how I can chain complex requests by programmatically capturing tokens from one response and passing them into the headers of the next. It makes multi-step API workflows, like authenticated user journeys, completely effortless to verify. The environment variable toggling is also incredibly smooth, allowing me to flip from local dev to production with a single click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The desktop application has become increasingly resource-heavy over the years, sometimes leading to noticeable lag when working with large collections or long JSON responses. I also find the interface occasionally cluttered with "cloud" features and team collaboration prompts that I don't always need for quick local debugging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
