"API testing made easy with Postman"
What do you like best about Postman?

You don't really need to be a programmer or a Computer Science major to understand how to develop a test for an API with Postman in sharp contrast with doing that by a normal text editor or by CLI, it makes it approachable to understand each of the values and parameters in an API. If you know what you are doing it can cut your time trying to write tests and executing them in half. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

It is not an issue with the program itself, since it fulfills the role really well, but the way how some people use it to test APIs, it isn't a magic wand, if a parameter isn't in the API then even if you set it on Postman and looks like a valid parameter it won't work since it is not a valid input even if the syntax looks ok.

"Streamlined API Testing with Great Scripting Capabilities"
What do you like best about Postman?

I use Postman to test APIs and debug them. It tells me if an API works or if it has any issues and gives reasons why it fails, which makes debugging faster. I like its very clean UI that helps keep APIs well organized. It's also very powerful with built-in scripting and tests. This helps in automating repetitive tasks like validating responses, catching breaking changes early without manual testing, and saving a lot of time. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

I find Postman's pricing to be expensive and I think it could be reduced. Sometimes the app feels heavy or slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick API Testing but Slow at Times"
What do you like best about Postman?

I like using Postman because it helps me quickly verify my API endpoints without having to write extra frontend code, making debugging requests and responses much faster and more reliable. The ability to send requests and inspect responses all in one place is what I like most about it. This feature speeds up API testing and makes debugging straightforward. I can quickly see headers, status codes, and response data, which helps me catch issues early and makes development more efficient without additional setup. Plus, it was wonderfully easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Postman can feel heavy and slow at times, especially when I only need to test simple endpoints. A lighter or faster mode for basic API checks would improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A huge time-saver for API testing and debugging"
What do you like best about Postman?

Postman saves me a lot of time when working with APIs. It’s quick to set up requests, handle auth, and switch between environments using variables. Collections make it easy to stay organized, and sharing them with teammates helps everyone test the same endpoints consistently. The built-in tests and pre-request scripts are also very handy for validating responses without writing extra code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Sometimes the desktop app feels a bit heavy, especially with very large collections or many workspaces. A few collaboration and advanced features are tied to paid plans, and managing multiple environments can get a little cluttered. That said, these are minor issues compared to how useful the tool is overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Postman makes API testing fast and teamwork simple."
What do you like best about Postman?

I really appreciate how easy it is to organize and share API collections with my team. The interface is intuitive, and testing different endpoints feels smooth and fast. Also it does not force you to buy a paid plan ,it basic plan is free which really helped me to learn various tech . And also its easy to learn how to work with this. And one more thing i would like to add once i reported a bug to their customer support and it was removed within 10 days so that was their plus point according to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

The thing which i dislike about postman is sometimes Postman uses too much of my computer memory and slow it down especially when I am working with big API collections. Also, many useful features that are used to be free are now paid, which makes it hard for small teams or beginners to work with . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive API Workflow and Powerful Mock Server Features"
What do you like best about Postman?

Creating and chaining API requests is fast, and the UI feels intuitive even for complex flows. Collections, environments, and variables make it easy to switch between staging, QA, and production without breaking anything.

The Mock Server feature is extremely useful when backend APIs are not ready, I can simulate realistic responses and continue frontend or integration testing without waiting. Mocks help validate request contracts early, which reduces last-minute surprises during integration. Pre-request scripts and tests allow quick validations without writing a full automation framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Mock server response management could be more flexible, especially for dynamic scenarios. And large collections can become slow to load and harder to manage over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Sometimes postman becomes slow, especially when i have multiple collections loaded. it occasionally needs to be restarted because, after being idle for long time, certain requests don't execute properly and get stuck in a continuous loading state. the ui can also feel slightly complex for new users, and sharing collections with teammates can be a bit confusing for someone using it for the first time.
