Invaluable tool for RESTful APIs

  • September 09, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Repeatable tests can be run in a sequential order without needing to write a script in a programming language and are easily imported and exported and results are logged for each test run and the resource utilization in the machine is low so several instances can be run in parallel. The collection runner has easily saved me half of my work week for the last 2 years giving me more free time to actually code since the tests are run so easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love Postman but as useful as it is it doesn't catch all bugs some problems are browser-related and unless you test directly on a browser even with postman interceptor. Having a plugin for each browser would make postman even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dealing with API calls after modifications and unit testing before a new feature goes live.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
By reading the documentation you can save yourself a few hours at worst I know I didn't and wished that I did it in time.

Great software for API testing and developing but with a few bugs

  • September 07, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is a lot better than any other testing tool when interfacing with any API that interfaces with Databases in any way, you write your tests and they are highly reusable unless a new feature is introduced that changes the way you are using the API that makes the old version obsolete, it is a few minutes worth of testing instead of a few hours of writing tests (or finding them in old files) and then testing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know if my test cases are too exotic or if my operating system is broken or what is the issue but I have broken it several times to the point that I actually need to delete the program and reinstall it from scratch so it works as expected again. I have several PCs so not a real issue when I'm short of time but still a little annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
API development and testing are faster when you can immediately test if what you are trying to do works as expected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you work with APIs, try this you won't regret it

Postman for basic API Testing

  • September 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman is a cross platform solution, available on Windows, Mac OS, or Linux distributions. You can login to your Postman account from an instance of the program running on any platform, and instantly sync settings, updates and changes that were made previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
A downside of Postman is that it can occasionally get into a bad state after running for sometime, where previous Request setups will no longer function as expected
( For example a POST parameter will continually fail to be included),
where you need to force kill the Postman process and any processes associated with it before restarting it.
A good idea is to periodically shutdown Postman, and to have a couple benchmark Request tests, that are known to be stable, to use as tests against Postman itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman is great at performing direct HTTP API Endpoint tests,
where you are mainly concerned with whether the proper response is given for a request and it parameters.
This can be much faster than spooling up some executable to run the HTTP requests on the API with a debugger, and you have full control over any headers, cookies, or additional data sent along with requests, unlike with most browsers.

Incredible platform to test APIs

  • September 05, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman allows me to save my collections freely, it allows me to create an account on its website and be able to synchronize my APIs, I like it a lot because it helps me to test APIs to be able to carry out my developments. It also allows you to create several workspaces. It is very practical because it can generate the code in various programming languages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphical interface is not the best, at first it cost me a lot to be able to save a request in a collection because the scroll was never seen and the request could not be saved. The space to place the variables is visually very small, which makes it very difficult to see if a mistake was made without the request failing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to test my REST APIs without the need to develop a REST client, this makes software development faster when REST APIs are programmed, you only need to have the endpoints of each API, and with POSTMAN you can test in a way quick and easy, saving the developer a lot of time. It also allows you to see the properties of the API, and helps to correct errors in case they exist
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very good program, you just have to be clear about the concepts of REST services and APIs in general, otherwise it will be very difficult to use it and understand how it works.

Great tool for testing APIs

  • September 03, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I work a lot with meraki and webex APIs and without Postman my life would be significantly more miserable, writing test cases with postman is easy and quick and I don't need to remember all the methods nor type the full type of request, just write the first 2 or 3 letters and use the drop down to autocomplete, this is really important when doing tests of malformed request to make sure we catch all errors, it is possible to remember all type of requests but my life is much better knowing that I don't need to.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love Postman since it makes my life easier but it also brings a lot of new developers that don't know what they are actually doing, you should always learn the theory first and then use the tools to make your life easier and now a lot skip that part.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating API requests mainly, it is faster than doing it with an editor
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn how to use and write request before using Postman your coworkers will thank you for that

Post for API testing

  • August 28, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
API Requests/Responses can be submitted without the need of Browser.
Parameters can be modified easily.
API can be stored in a library that can used as per need
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited features are available in the tool to support API automation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Postman for API Request Response validation. Tool is so easy to validate both JSON and XML requests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Postman have been a wonderful tool for us in all aspects. using this we can easily create multiple environments, which can be changed with a single click. History and collections are another wonderful features provided where we can revisit out previously executed API's.

POSTMAN.

  • August 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Postman was quite simple to get around and helps one can build libraries and handle multiple web services. Postman often offers code samples for users who would use whatever language in their choosing for download results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Service for GraphQL can indeed be upgraded in Postman.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Postman tool helps in the Development of APIs as well as Testing of API's for various applications in our project.

Great software for testing APIs

  • August 27, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All the tests created in Postman can be easily reutilized in different projects without tinkering a lot, some just need to change the URL of the server to test it in a real environment but even the tests can be the same in vastly different APIs. It can be batch processed to check for several elements with one click to only focus on the failed tests.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it has improved vastly in the last few years, some queries with GraphQL and REST fail in postman and work correctly in the browser but that is normal since it is a testing environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing APIs, mainly dealing with NETCONF and REST based APIs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A lot better than using curl or using a browser to test APIs
