What do you like best about Kong Insomnia?

I have been using it for approx three (3) years. It has a beautiful UI that is feature-rich. It supports REST and GraphQL. It even has a feature to filter the results received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

It fulfills my requirements. There is not much to dislike. The only issue is that not too many people use it, so if I share the APIs with new team members, I also need to tell them about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kong Insomnia solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is an API client. I use it to test my APIs; therefore, dependency on front-end developers is removed. I can independently code and debug my API. If a new team member joins, I can easily export the APIs and share them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
