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.

I like how quickly Postman allows me to validate APIs and troubleshoot issues without needing a UI. It simplifies API testing and speeds up troubleshooting. I enjoy creating collections for different API workflows, which makes it easy to execute and maintain regression tests. This saves significant time compared to manually running individual requests. The initial setup of Postman was super easy.

Postman has genuinely transformed the way our team handles API development, and I mean that in the most practical sense — not just as a buzzword. UI/UX is where Postman first won me over. The interface feels intuitive without being dumbed down. I remember the first time I set up a request chain using pre-request scripts — something that sounds complicated — and it just clicked naturally. The sidebar organization, tabs, and the way collections are structured make navigating even large projects feel manageable. Integrations have been a pleasant surprise. We plugged Postman into our CI/CD pipeline using Newman (Postman's CLI tool), and now our API tests run automatically on every deployment. It also connects smoothly with GitHub, Slack, and Jira, which means fewer context switches during the day. Performance is decent for most tasks, though I'll be honest — the desktop app can feel a little slow to load when you have a lot of collections open. Once it's running, though, it's smooth. Pricing/ROI is where it gets interesting. The free tier is surprisingly generous for individual developers. For teams, the paid plan does add up, but when I think about the hours saved on debugging, documentation, and onboarding — it pays for itself pretty quickly. Support/Onboarding is solid. Their documentation is some of the best I've seen for a dev tool, and the learning center helped our junior developers get productive fast. AI features are newer but promising — the AI-assisted test generation has already caught a few edge cases I would have missed writing tests manually.
