A great user interface for creating and managing different testing environments
Pros and Cons
- "The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
- "The solution is a great tool for managing APIs and should be used by developers and QA teams."
- "Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
- "Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream subtype which provides responses in chunks for files that can be downloaded and viewed."
What is our primary use case?
Our company uses the solution as a developer platform for testing APIs. Our backend team develops APIs which are then pushed to the solution for QA testing and configuration.
What is most valuable?
It is very easy to create and manage different environments for testing. We can plug in different URLs and variables to test in a local environment before going to production.
The solution has a great user interface and collection of features.
What needs improvement?
Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream subtype which provides responses in chunks for files that can be downloaded and viewed. We had an issue with multi-part requests recently and had to fix it.

I have not escalated questions to support. One time I experienced an issue switching URLs in our environment, but haven't experienced it since. The solution's developers and QA team are continuously improving the product.
How was the initial setup?
The setup was really easy and was accomplished by configuring our email.
Different projects automatically sync to the solution upon login so we are able to import files and configure API setups for other team members.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented the solution in-house and there is no maintenance because continuous updates are provided.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I use the solution and other team members use Swagger.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

A user-friendly API client with a useful automation feature
Pros and Cons
- "I like that it is very easy to use, and I also like the automation feature."
- "It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly."
What is our primary use case?
I use Postman for API testing. I use this solution for UI or automation purposes.
What is most valuable?
I like that it is very easy to use. I also like the automation feature.
What needs improvement?
It would be better if we could integrate programming languages like .NET, Java, and JavaScript. It could also be more user-friendly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Postman for three to four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Postman is a stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Postman is a scalable product. We have two or three users using Postman in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward because we are IT professionals.
On a scale from one to five, I would give the initial setup a 5.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am using the free option.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
ReadyAPI is very good, but you have to pay for it. Postman has a free option, and that is why I am using it. ReadyAPI is more user-friendly. For example, its features elaborate on what happened. You can right-click on the thing and add the features. In Postman, we have to find things from the inside and then get it into the project. The main difference with Postman is the ability to connect with different application tools integrated with Jira and database connectivity.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Postman a nine.

An easy-to-use solution for API testing but it requires additional tools for UI testing
Pros and Cons
- "The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
- "UI testing needs to be added to the solution."
What is our primary use case?
Our company uses the solution for API testing. We have forty users who are trained in-house for various projects.
What is most valuable?
The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time.
The solution's integration is useful for Jenkins or other tools.
What needs improvement?
UI testing needs to be added to the solution. The solution does not compare UI testing and API testing or API testing and database testing. To check data, additional tools are required for the comparisons.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable for API testing but requires additional tools for UI testing or database testing.

Automation Tester at HSBC Software Development
Automation solution that is stable, scalable and offers an easy to use Chrome extension
Pros and Cons
- "The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."

What is our primary use case?
We use this solution to create multiple automations for a number of different users.
What needs improvement?
We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB.

Test Engineer at Innoppl
Simple setup and scalable
Pros and Cons
- "One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
- "We do the implementation of Postman and give support. We had to use two engineers for the implementation, one senior and one junior for the process."
What is our primary use case?
The main reason we are using Postman is for checking and validating the API whether it works fine or not. When they send a request, we will receive the response with a successful code or we will be monitoring the code number for the latest number record.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Postman for six to eight months.
