- G2 users highlight Postman's ease of use with a score of 9.1, stating that its intuitive interface and user-friendly design make it accessible for both beginners and experienced developers. Conversely, Swagger UI scores 8.8, with some users reporting a steeper learning curve due to its more technical setup.

Swagger UI, while functional, scores lower at 8.6, with reviewers mentioning that collaboration tools are less integrated.
- Reviewers say that Postman’s API Discovery feature is highly rated at 9.0, making it easier for teams to find and utilize existing APIs. Swagger UI does not have a dedicated discovery feature, which users report can lead to challenges in managing multiple APIs effectively.
