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.

Postman makes API testing simple and convenient. I like how easily I can send GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests, check responses, and debug APIs. Its user-friendly interface saves time during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Postman can feel slow when working with large collections, some advanced features are difficult to understand, and certain useful features require a paid plan. The interface can also feel a little overwhelming at first. 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.

With daily integration of Postman to build and test REST API before connecting it with our front end interfaces. I love the environment variables system the most. I can switch any time between local development environment, staging and production without needing to copy and paste base urls or authorization tokens. It's extremely easy to work on a team, as well. I can make all my new endpoints in a neat and structured collection and give the workspace to our front end developers. Allows them to have a clear and interactive map of the exact JSON payloads they need to send, and the responses they can expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, for a few larger changes, the desktop application has begun to inevitably look more bloated. It uses an astounding amount of RAM as an API test tool, sometimes slowing my machine down when I'm having a number of Docker containers dolled up and an intensive IDE at the SAME TIME (recently). I also don't like the older versions of the software where you can really do a lot of things without the nagging feeling that you have to log into a cloud account or sync your local software workspaces to their servers.

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.

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.
