Postman is basically the industry standard, so the best part is just how familiar the UI is for everyone on the team. It makes onboarding new devs way easier because there’s zero learning curve for the basics. The collection sharing and environment variables are huge for our workflow since they keep everything organized and stop us from mixing up staging and production keys. It’s just a reliable tool for quick debugging and seeing exactly what the backend is doing without any guesswork. I’ve also messed around with the new AI features like Postbot a bit. It’s actually pretty decent for quickly generating test scripts and boilerplate code that usually takes forever to type out manually. It’s not perfect, but it definitely helps speed up the boring parts of setting up new collections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has become incredibly bloated over the last couple of years. It takes forever to load, and it eats up way too much RAM just to send a few simple requests. It feels like it's trying to do too many things at once now, which just makes the whole experience feel sluggish and cluttered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman aids in enhancing my work process in developing because it helps me check my APIs very fast. It saves time during debugging and makes the work communication easier between the front-end and back-end developers. It helps in maintaining the quality of the APIs.

Postman can be very resource-heavy in occasion, especially in relation to large data sets. Also, some of Postman's advanced features require user to subscribe to premium versions of the platform. While Postman uses more t memory on your computer than API testing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I like most about Postman is its simplicity and powerful API testing. It allows me to build APIs quickly, test and debug in an intuitive interface. Collections, environment variables, and team collaboration features make development faster, more organised, and efficient for a variety of projects and teams.

One thing I hate about Postman is that it can get slow and use a lot of resources when you are dealing with big collections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Honestly, I love the Collections feature. I just group my requests project-wise and it keeps everything clean and easy to find. Sharing collections with the team is super simple too - no back and forth, everyone's on the same page instantly. What I also really like is the Collection Runner. Being able to run requests with multiple iterations is really handy, I've actually used it to test server load through the API which worked way better than I expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing that really bothers me is how slow it is to load. It takes much longer to open than other tools, and sometimes it just feels heavier than it needs to be for what it is. On days when I need to jump in and test something quickly, having to wait for it to load gets pretty frustrating. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s definitely something they should improve.

It provides a very user friendly interface and provides efficient api testing and basically supports all the http methods. Also it is very easy to create postman collection and share it with team. Also it supports api spec yaml to create endpoint for testing. It is very easy to implement. I use it every day for my code testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very heavy machine sometimes it slow down the machine.

With lot of collection and environments it gets cluttered and very confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Postman for API automation scripts because it saves my time with its AI-powered services to create pre and post scripts for my API requests. What I like most about Postman is its best performance, even when the team is involved, as it builds trust on the application. The efficient synchronization is particularly valuable, as it updates each user's changes in a shared workspace for API automations, making them visible and accessible to everyone in the team. The initial setup was smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that does not work is that sometimes Postman does not update the environment variable changes. It makes all variables go to null. This occurs frequently when we relogin or reopen the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very user-friendly, so even complex requests can be created and tested quickly without much setup. I really appreciate features like collections and environment variables, which help organize requests and make testing across different environments much easier. The ability to automate tests and share APIs with team members also saves a lot of time and improves collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman can sometimes be slow and use a lot of system resources, especially with large projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about postman is I can quickly build the code of the request I have called, and then integrate it in my application code. The code copy/export feature is just awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing which I don't like about postman is that I can't do interception of browser requests for tracking of what's wrong with the APIs being called in my application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Postman for the past three years, and it's a great tool with a clean UI and lots of features. My favorite feature is the runner facility, which allows me to test a lot of scenarios by automating requests with a single click. It's super useful for testing APIs with multiple parameters and saves me a lot of time. The environment enforcement feature is excellent too, enabling easy switching between different stages without reconfiguring values every time. I appreciate how Postman stores the requests I've sent, making it easy to review errors and saved duplicates. The history feature is great for keeping track of previous responses and payloads, making it easier to revisit and compare data. I find it very easy to collaborate between team members using Postman, as changes made by one person are directly visible to another. The console is another useful tool for verifying requests and headers. I prefer the Postman web version as it performs wonderfully compared to the desktop version.

The Postman desktop version is having some issues. It slows down your entire system and takes a lot of RAM. The computational power is reduced when running Postman on the device, which is not ideal for multitasking or switching between different apps. It makes the system slow, particularly the desktop version. It can be a bad experience when multitasking, affecting overall performance. I would rate the desktop app a 3.5 out of 5 mainly due to the performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
