Postman Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love Postman for its intuitive interface, which makes it quick to create and send requests without confusion. The organized collections help me group and reuse requests, keeping projects structured. I appreciate the powerful features like environment variables, automated tests, and response visualization, which save time and enhance my workflow. Being able to switch between setups easily with environment variables reduces manual changes and errors. Automated tests and response visualization allow me to validate APIs quickly, catch issues early, and understand data more effectively. The initial setup was very easy, facilitating a smooth transition from manual API testing and basic HTTP clients. Postman allows me to test endpoints quickly in one place, catch errors early, and debug responses easily while ensuring APIs work correctly. It also helps me validate endpoints quickly, automate tests, and collaborate easily with my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that could be improved in Postman is its caching behavior. Sometimes, responses or environment changes don't update immediately, and I have to restart Postman to get successful runs, which can interrupt workflow and slow down testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Postman for keeping our API documented as a collection. I like that it's very easy to be onboarded, and we can import and export collections and fork them. I appreciate the real-time update feature because if my teammate updates the API, it reflects on my system, so I don't use outdated changes. Postman has more features, and many things can be easily configured, which made us switch from Swagger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially for the first-time user, it's a little tricky to be onboarded. As a new user, I want to know exactly how to add API or collections, or how import and export work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most is how quickly I can go from an idea to a real request and a runnable test suite. The app feels straightforward: I open a collection, choose an environment, and I’m immediately running calls without a bunch of setup. I use it a few times a week, and it never feels like a chore to get going. The layout is intuitive, and the console makes debugging a bad request a lot less painful. Collections keep my projects organized, and the runner lets me kick off an entire flow when I need to verify a change end to end. It sounds simple, but that smooth start is what keeps me coming back.

The biggest game changer for me has been scripting. Pre-request scripts and the Tests tab make it easy to chain calls, pull a token from one response, store it, and feed it into the next request without manual copy-paste. I can extract values from JSON, set environment or collection variables, and parameterize inputs so the same suite runs cleanly across dev and staging. That saves a ton of time and cuts down on avoidable mistakes. Environments are a lifesaver too: I can switch context and all my base URLs, keys, and flags flip over, so I’m not hunting for hidden settings. After you’ve done it a couple of times, it feels natural—even if you’re not a heavy coder.

On the integration side, it fits well into how teams work. Shared collections and workspaces keep everyone aligned, and generated docs from a collection make handoffs to teammates or clients much smoother. I also like that I can export and run the same tests from the command line through our pipeline, so what passes on my desk is the same thing that runs in automation later. Mock servers and examples help me test front-end flows when a backend is still being wired up, which means I’m not blocked waiting on another team. The learning curve is gentle; the docs and community answers have been enough whenever I’ve gotten stuck, and the updates over time have felt practical rather than gimmicky. Overall, it reduces friction in my week, helps me automate the boring parts, and keeps my API work clean and consistent without wrestling with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Postman a lot, but a few things still slow me down. The app can feel heavy when collections get large or responses are big; tabs pile up, and the runner starts to drag. At times, search or the console gets flaky, and I end up restarting just to clear whatever state it seems to get stuck in. Updates are frequent, which I appreciate, but every so often they shuffle things around and I lose a bit of muscle memory. The first day after an update, I’m hunting for simple actions that used to be right where I expected them.

Integrations have a couple of rough edges too. The split between the older command-line route and the newer one can be confusing, and the newer option often needs extra setup and auth that doesn’t always play nicely behind corporate proxies. Some extensions also make the app sluggish, so I keep my setup lean, but that comes at the cost of convenience. Support-wise, the docs are generally helpful, but when I hit a weird bug, the answers are hit or miss and it can take a while to track down a workable workaround. None of these are deal breakers for me since I use it a few times a week, but they’re the parts I like least—and where I feel the time loss most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Postman is how powerful and flexible it is for API testing. It supports multiple authentication methods—such as Bearer token, Basic Auth, OAuth, and API keys—which makes it straightforward to test secured APIs. I also find environments with shared variables really helpful for managing different setups like dev, staging, and production without having to constantly modify individual requests.

Postman also includes schema validation, pre-request scripts, and test scripts, which are useful for checking response structure, data types, and business logic. Collections make it easy to organize APIs, reuse requests, and run automated test flows. Overall, it cuts down on manual effort, improves testing coverage, and makes API testing faster and more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman works really well for functional and exploratory API testing. However, it can be limiting when you get into very complex automation scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really value Postman for the wide range of API request options it offers, including numerous parameters and support for WebSocket, Socket.IO, and GraphQL. The platform is quick, dependable, and free, which I find especially appealing. I appreciate not having to create a frontend or rely on command-line tools like cURL to test APIs; Postman also allows me to convert API requests into code, which I find very helpful. The ability to easily share my workspace and requests adds even more convenience. Getting started was straightforward—just a simple sign-up and I was ready to begin.

The product could benefit from additional AI features, such as suggestions for improving APIs and implementing faster methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Postman helps in testing the APIs during the course of development. This helps in analyzing the responses as well as authentication processes before features are put into production. Collections assist in arranging endpoints for various projects or environments. Workspaces enable collaboration between various developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Large collections need to have a good structure to maintain a manageable and team-ready system. Some features related to collaboration and monitoring are only available to premium users. Performance degradation is possible when handling a large number of request interactions and environments. The system interface might be steep for new team members to learn.

I use Postman to manage my API collection and build and test RESTful APIs for our client apps. It makes it really easy for me to share request and response data with developers and show how the API architecture works. I love the impressive and easy-to-use user interface for setting API parameters. What I like most is the user interface, ease of use, collection sharing, and real-time API collection saving features. The predefined variables are a cherry on top to avoid redundant URL exposure. It's extremely easy to set up, and switching from manual API testing to Postman has brought better features and content sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing for now from the existing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its Powerful User Interface and ability to build MCP servers. Also we can create mock servers as well in postman to make it easy for frontend developers. Also have a steep learning curve, means digging deep feels good ( personal fav). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its is resource heavy and eats up a lot of RAM and CPU. Also free tiers are amazing, but as long as you're working for a company and it pays for it, its the best. One more dislike is one can only use JavaScript to write custom Scripts. As I am python developer, I would prefer Python in testing as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
