Fiddler one among the best tool to debug your web application.

This tool will help you to understand the input and the output received to your web services. And also the traffic on your application server.

Best thing about fiddler is it will easily capture all web service that got failure and what is the response your received.

This will also help you to understand what are all the services that are fired on click of any event object.

The way it track URL navigation is accurate and fast.

It also helps to debug the application directly from fiddler.

We can also use for security testing.

We get the output from various source., if there is any error on page we can easily track from fiddler.

There are many different features which you can use, like Get Post method to do different changes.

There is a feature where if the link go down, UI shows in red this is good indication to track any issue on web page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best friend for HTTP Request Developers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Progress Telerik Fiddler?

The Traffic Capturing is awesome. We can track the http requests of a specific website that we'd like to create a web automation bot. The https decode function allows to see what is happening in the background and provides a full view of the cookies, requests and the http response along with all stuff sent by the web server, such as JSON, XML, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Telerik Fiddler?

When the response body is very big, the frame doesn't show up everything. It's frustrating sometimes we need to export it to a notepad to see and analyse the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fully Test Your Web Application With Fiddler!"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Progress Telerik Fiddler?

I like how simplistic the application is. I don't really have to do many setting changes in order to get started. Once I get my phone to connect properly to Fiddler, it's pretty easy from there. I like how you can filter out processes based on what you want. I tend to filter out the processes so that it only shows the urls that I'm browsing on my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Telerik Fiddler?

However, I wouldn't necessarily call this application intuitive. I definitely had to ask for guidance/help both online and offline. To be honest, I'm still not entirely sure how it all works. I feel like this application would be a bit better if there was more documentation on how it worked. I did find an instructional guide on how to use Fiddler with my phone. However, the instructional guide was pretty straight-forward. I would've liked it ab it more if it was more in-depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
