"All-in-One API Development Hub That Boosts Productivity and Team Collaboration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Postman?

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.

What do you dislike about Postman?

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.

"Essential Tool for Streamlined API Workflow"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Postman?

I like the ease of use combined with powerful features that Postman offers for API testing and development. The clean and intuitive interface makes it simple to create and send requests without needing a complex setup. I appreciate its ability to organize requests into collections and use environments, which helps manage multiple projects and switch between setups efficiently. The automated testing capabilities are very useful, allowing me to write test scripts directly within Postman to validate responses and improve reliability. I also find the API documentation and sharing feature valuable for generating and sharing structured API documentation with clients or team members. Features like authentication handling, pre-request scripts, and quick debugging tools make Postman a complete solution for working with APIs. Overall, it provides a well-balanced combination of simplicity and advanced functionality that significantly improves my development workflow and productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

While Postman is a powerful tool, there are a few areas that could be improved. One issue I’ve noticed is that the application can become slow or resource-heavy, especially when working with large collections or multiple environments. This can affect performance during extended usage. Another limitation is the learning curve for advanced features. While basic usage is straightforward, features like scripting, automation, and test writing can take time to fully understand, especially for beginners. Collaboration features, although useful, can sometimes feel limited compared to dedicated team management tools. Managing shared workspaces and version control for collections could be more seamless, particularly in larger teams. Additionally, the UI can occasionally feel cluttered when handling complex workflows with many requests and folders, making navigation slightly less efficient.

"Clean, Intuitive API Development That Streamlines Testing and Team Collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about Postman?

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.

What do you dislike about Postman?

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.

"Streamlined API Development with Robust Automation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Postman?

I primarily use Postman for API development and testing, and it makes it really easy to send requests, inspect responses, and debug issues quickly without needing to write a lot of code upfront. I like how I can organize requests into collections and reuse them across projects, which saves time. The automation features, like test scripts and the Collection Runner, ensure everything works as expected. I appreciate the environment variables for switching between development, staging, and production setups. Postman's interface is intuitive, making it easy to create and send requests without a steep learning curve. The combination of ease of use, organization through Collections, and powerful testing capabilities is very beneficial to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

While Postman is very powerful, there are a few areas where I think it could improve. Sometimes the app can feel a bit heavy, especially when working with large collections or multiple environments. It may slow down or take longer to load, which can interrupt the workflow. Collaboration features are useful, but they can be a bit confusing at times—especially when managing shared workspaces, permissions, or version control. A more streamlined experience there would make teamwork even smoother. Another area is test scripting. While it’s flexible, it does require some JavaScript knowledge, which can be a barrier for beginners. A more guided or visual approach to creating tests could make it more accessible. Lastly, debugging complex test scripts or chained requests can sometimes be tricky. Better debugging tools or clearer error messages would really help in identifying issues faster. Overall, these aren’t deal-breakers, but improving performance, collaboration clarity, and ease of use for testing would make the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Chaining Complex API Workflows with Scripting and Environment-Driven Testing"
5/5
What do you like best about Postman?

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.

What do you dislike about Postman?

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.

"Easy-to-Use Interface and Collections Make API Testing Smooth"
4/5
What do you like best about Postman?

First, I want to talk about the Postman interface. It’s very easy to use for API testing and development, and I mostly use it for client-side testing. With support for multiple methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, I can work smoothly and test different requests without any hassle. Another helpful feature is the ability to create Collections, which makes it easier to organize APIs in a clear, structured way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

The main issue is that the free version offers only limited access to the advanced features. There’s also a learning curve, especially when it comes to more complex scripting and automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
