I like that Postman is easy to use and allows us to effortlessly create collections for microservices in any quantity we need. The ability to extract curl commands from Postman collections and use them wherever necessary is very convenient. Most of my team has moved to Postman from soapUI because its user experience and functionality are much better. Additionally, setting up Postman isn't overly complicated; we simply install the software, create a user profile, and start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman uses a lot of system resources while running, and it takes a long time to load the application. It's slow to launch and access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work as a software engineer at a mid-sized tech company, and my day-to-day heavily involves building and maintaining REST APIs using Python Flask and PHP. I use Postman constantly to test my endpoints locally, debug JSON responses, and manage authorization headers before any code gets pushed to staging. It is essentially my primary workspace for anything related to backend API interaction and documentation.The user interface is incredibly intuitive, making it easy to jump right in and start testing. My absolute favorite feature is the ability to set up different environments for local, staging, and production. It saves an enormous amount of time because I can just flip a dropdown switch to change my environment variables instead of manually rewriting base URLs or copying and pasting new bearer tokens every single time. I also heavily rely on Collections. Being able to organize all the endpoints for our various systems into neat, shareable folders means that when a new developer joins the team, they can just import the collection and start firing off requests immediately without having to dig through backend code to figure out the routing.

On the downside, the application has become noticeably bloated over the past few years. What used to be a super lightweight desktop client now consumes a heavy amount of RAM. If I have my IDE, a few virtual machines or containers running, and Postman open at the same time, my system resources definitely take a hit. I also find the aggressive push towards cloud syncing and enterprise workspace features a bit frustrating. Sometimes I just want to quickly test a local endpoint on the fly without needing to log in, sync everything to a cloud workspace, or dismiss pop-ups about team collaboration limits.

I use Postman mainly for testing APIs and checking whether backend services are working correctly. I like its simple and user-friendly interface, which makes API testing fast and easy, even for complex requests. Features like collections, environment variables, authentication handling, and automated testing are very useful during development. It helps me save time by allowing me to quickly send requests and check responses in one place, and makes debugging easier by helping me identify issues with endpoints, authentication, headers, or request data. The ability to organize API collections and easily share them with teammates for collaboration is also great. The initial setup of Postman was very easy, and installing the application and sending my first API request only took a few minutes. The interface is beginner-friendly, and most features are easy to understand without much setup or configuration. Overall, it improves productivity in API development and testing.

One thing that could be improved in Postman is performance, especially when working with large collections or many tabs open at the same time. Sometimes the app feels slow or uses a lot of memory. The interface can also feel overwhelming for beginners because there are many features and settings. Better lightweight performance and a simpler onboarding experience would make it even better.

I use Postman mainly for testing APIs and mocking different versions, which is really helpful. I like that Postman connects everyone in the tech team, providing a single source of truth, so there's no need to ask where the documentation is or who has worked on it. I also appreciate that Postman shows API usage and performance, which is very helpful. The API documentation is the best feature for me, as it helps me easily find the right API and integrate it quickly. In a fast-paced workflow, knowing which API to use and when is crucial, and Postman's API documentation really makes it valuable to me. The initial setup was very easy, with minimal to no setup needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I feel the Postman desktop app is quite heavy to run and consumes lots of memory so that can be optimized to make it run smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Postman for quick endpoint testing, organizing collections, environment switching, and handling auth tokens. It saves hours of work by organizing API routes into reusable collections and automatically handling environment variables and authentication tokens. I love that it removes all the guesswork from API development by letting me visually send requests to localhost, view formatted JSON responses, and easily switch environments with a single click. Postman's unified workflow replaces unorganized scripting with easy, shareable API collections and dynamic environment switching. The initial setup is incredibly easy; you just download the desktop app and you're ready to send your first API request within two minutes. It's easy to use, an industry standard, and handles complex API testing perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman has become bloated and slow to load because it tries to be all in one enterprise platform rather than a lightweight tool. It also constantly nags you with aggressive cloud syncing pop-ups and account login requirements just to test a quick local endpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Postman for my daily API testing as a software engineer, and it helps set up environments to call and execute APIs before integrating with UI applications. I really like the simple UI because of its easy navigation. I also appreciate the ability to export and import API collections quickly, which makes my work faster and allows me to share a working model with testing teams without redoing the setup.

When working with huge API tabs open, the UI hangs up, and I have to close the app many times. Sometimes it's confusing with all the tabs open, and navigation is a bit poor. Also, the initial setup has a lot of signing pages, which can be irritating. 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.

With Postman, I can easily create, organize, and test API requests in a clear, structured way. The interface is user-friendly and makes it simple to send requests, review and analyze responses, and debug issues quickly. Features such as collections, environments, and automated testing have noticeably improved my workflow and helped me stay more organized while working with APIs.

When I was a beginner, I sometimes couldn't find the API paths using Postman. There's also an issue where sometimes an API works, but other times it fails in real-time. 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.

I really like Postman because the API response is displayed clearly whenever an API is triggered. One thing I especially like at my company is that we have three environments; depending on the environment, we can set variables, and those variables are then used automatically when we trigger an API.

In the post, let’s consider that there are many collections. Right now, it doesn’t differentiate between the collections. If there were a color difference, it would be easier to quickly find a particular collection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
