Postman Demo - API Design
You can design your API specifications in Postman using OpenAPI, RAML, GraphQL, or SOAP formats. Postman’s schema editor makes it easy to work with specification files of any size, and it validates specifications with a built-in linting engine.
Postman Demo - API Documentation
Postman automatically generates documentation and supports markdown-enabled and machine-readable documentation. Docs automatically include request details and sample code. Share the docs with your team, in a public workspace, or in a dedicated portal.
Postman Demo - Public Workspaces
Public workspaces allow you to share your APIs publicly with anyone. You can use public workspaces to gather feedback on your APIs, onboard developers quickly, or just showcase your work.
Postman Demo - API Testing
Build and run functional, integration, and regression tests directly in Postman or as part of your CI/CD pipeline with Newman (Postman’s a command-line Collection Runner that enables you to run and test a collection directly from the command line).

"Postman’s Intuitive UI and Powerful Integrations Make API Testing Effortless"
What do you like best about Postman?

I like most about postman is its clean and intuitive UI, which makes API testing real quick and super easy even for complex flow. It offers us strong integration with tools like CI/CD and git. Performance and pricing is so reliable, even with large collections and automated tests. Support and onboarding are smooth with good documentation and its growing AI features helps us to automate testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

what I dislike about postman is that it can feel heavy and slow when we are working with large collections, which impacts performance. The UI can sometimes become cluttered and overwhelming for new users. Sometimes integration with other platform feel complex. Also support can be slower on lower tiers, and the newer ai features still feel a bit limited in real world use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Postman Made API Testing Easy During My Internship"
What do you like best about Postman?

I use Postman to test APIs, and it has been a big help because I can run different types of HTTP requests all in one place. The interface is easy to use, and the charges are nominal, or you can simply use the free version. It also includes a wide range of features, which makes it convenient for day-to-day testing. With Postman, we can validate backend logic without needing a frontend implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

For me, script testing and automation were very difficult features to understand during my initial internship. Sometimes it also lags when I use multiple tabs at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, Powerful Postman for Efficient API Development and Testing"
What do you like best about Postman?

Postman is very easy to use and makes working with APIs much more efficient. The interface is intuitive, allowing you to quickly create, organize, and test requests. Features like collections and environments help structure API workflows and make it easy to manage different configurations across development, staging, and production.

I also like the ability to write automated tests, use pre-request scripts, and chain requests together. This makes it a powerful tool not just for testing APIs, but also for validating and automating workflows. Collaboration features are also useful, as teams can share collections and documentation easily. Overall, it’s a very complete tool for API development and testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

As projects grow, collections can become difficult to manage and organize without clear structure. The interface can feel a bit heavy at times, especially when working with large collections or multiple environments. Additionally, some advanced collaboration and governance features are tied to paid plans, which can limit functionality for larger teams unless upgraded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, Organized API Testing with Collections and the Collection Runner"
What do you like best about Postman?

What I like about Postman is how easy and organised it makes API testing. As a QA, I can group APIs into collections, which keeps everything clean and easy to implement and manage.

The Collection runner is very useful for running automation tests where I can run multiple APIs together and add simple tests in post and pre scripts, and quickly check if anything is failing. It significantly reduces manual effort and helps ensure consistent regression testing across modules.

API documentation is also very helpful in understanding the API contracts and helps in the ease of setting up the testing process and checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

There is just one thing, which is more like a feature request from my side to Postman to implement to help us testers in one major use case to run end-to-end testing of a complete user flow through a master collection.

For example, if I want to test a full journey like user signup > login > subscription > gameplay, where these APIs usually belong to different collections (Auth, Payments, Game APIs).

If a master collection were available, I could group all these related collections in one place and run the entire flow in sequence. It would make end-to-end testing easier, reduce duplication of tests and help in running full regression checks in one go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Postman Streamlines API Testing with Collections, Environments, and Powerful Automation"
What do you like best about Postman?

I like how Postman simplifies API testing with features like Collections and Environment variables, which save a lot of time during repeated testing across different environments. The ability to run multiple APIs using the Collection Runner makes regression testing much faster. I also use test scripts to validate responses and chain APIs, which helps in covering end-to-end flows without relying on UI. Overall, it has made my workflow more efficient and structured, especially when handling multiple APIs and frequent builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

One limitation I’ve noticed is that Postman can become slow and heavy when working with large collections or multiple environments, which affects performance. Managing test scripts across multiple requests can also get repetitive, as reusability is somewhat limited without proper structuring. Additionally, version control and collaboration features are not as seamless compared to code-based tools, making it slightly challenging to track changes in larger teams.

"Postman Simplifies REST API Testing with Collections"
What do you like best about Postman?

Postman makes API development and testing simple and efficient. I mainly use it to test REST APIs in my Spring Boot applications, and it lets me quickly send requests, manage headers, and validate responses without having to write extra code. The Collections feature is especially helpful for keeping APIs organized, and environment variables make it easy to switch between different setups, such as development and production. I also appreciate the built-in testing scripts and the authentication support (JWT, OAuth 2.0), which saves me a lot of time during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

One downside is that Postman can feel slow or heavy when I’m working with large collections or keeping multiple tabs open. At times, syncing with the cloud workspace takes a while, which can get in the way of smooth collaboration. I’ve also found that some helpful features—like advanced monitoring and stronger team collaboration options—are limited in the free version, and that can be a real constraint for growing teams.

"A Developer’s Blessing for Fast, Reliable API Testing"
What do you like best about Postman?

Best thing i like about postman as a developer is it helps a lot to check the current status and response of api's to test and it gives proper response with code which helps a developer to find the route cause if any problem arises,

Most of the time, rather than checking the whole code, i check API in postman first to check wheather data is coming or not, if its api fault chhecking code is of no use, postman saves this time.

I usually use it more for SMS Service api test, to check the 3rd party api's wheather they are getting proper data or not.

at the end Its an very blessing software for developers, dosent depend you are a web dev or an app, same thing works for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Interface ban be improved, during run only the user interface iseems like complex. when i ask my Jr Developers to use the same, most of them gets confused with the UI, moreover for some config,its not fast, company should provide LITE Version for other users also who have low config machine.

Advance Team colabs are fully paid which limits user to a certain extent, this thing needs to be improved, and inteface should be very simple.

For experienced Developers its very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No-Code API Testing with Organized Collections and JS Validation"
What do you like best about Postman?

It helps me test my APIs without writing any code. It also helps me save my APIs, and it allows me to group related APIs together. On top of that, it lets me validate my responses by writing test scripts in JS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Sometimes it gets slow because of heavy APIs. Also, to use a few features I need to purchase the paid version. For large projects, maintaining the APIs is a bit hard as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beginner-Friendly Tool for Testing APIs Quickly"
What do you like best about Postman?

With Postman, I can easily create, organize, and test API requests in a clear, structured way. The interface is user-friendly and makes it simple to send requests, review and analyze responses, and debug issues quickly. Features such as collections, environments, and automated testing have noticeably improved my workflow and helped me stay more organized while working with APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

When I was a beginner, I sometimes couldn't find the API paths using Postman. There's also an issue where sometimes an API works, but other times it fails in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Postman Makes API Testing Fast, Simple, and Effortless"
What do you like best about Postman?

What I like most about Postman is how easy it makes testing APIs. I don't have to write a script or set up anything complicated. I just put in the URL, select the method, add my body or params, and send the request, seeing the response clearly on the same screen helps a lot. It feels very simple and fast, especially when I'm debugging something in the backend. I also like that I can save my request in a collection, so I don't need to rewrite everything again. It helps me work faster without overthinking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

One thing I don't like is that sometimes it feels heavy when too many tabs or collections are open. It can slow down a bit. Also, a few features are hidden behind menus, so it takes time to find them when I'm in a hurry. Syncing across devices works, but occasionally I feel it takes time to update. The desktop app also needs to be updated frequently, which interrupts my work for a minute or two. These are small things, but I notice them in my daily use.
