What do you like best about Postman?

I am using postman from last 3 years and this is the best for Callouts, to check the APIs of any aplication to change the data of the particular apps.

Like I am working as a Salesforce Developer, So It helps to integrate any software with Salesforce to check which Outh that app using to run the apis smoothlt also we can change the data using POST callout.

In Postman there are several pre defined API which you can use to intergrate something or to make callouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

The only Dislike which i face is the Application history is not showing older than 4 months in the app but showing when we use in the browser. Which I want that that should give us the filter to fetch the particular date history, this will help massively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

This helps me to integrate around 20+ platforms with salesforce using REST API as well as Graphql API. Also it helps me to delete no used webhooks of any platform. Postman has ability to direclty change any record of Salesforce using Autorization and login.

Postman helps me to easy my work when I have to intergrate any platfrom I just google and run those APIs into Postman and tried to retireve data according to my requirements, and postman always helps me in those situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

Postman is a powerful tool that simplifies API development includinf testing making it the indispensable resourse for a Backend developer. It's quite easy to undersand which makes the set up and testing quite easy. It is easy for non developers to understand as well.

My favourite part is the feature-rich environment it provide, including automated testing, mock servers, and the ability to save API into different collections make it very organised. Also the collaboration part is nice as it allows all the team members to share API's and update seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

While postman is highly functional, it has few drawbacks. The learning curve for advance features like scripting in pre request features, while useful seem little overpriced, especially for small teams or solo developers.

The lack of offline capabalities for certain features also feels limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the primary problems it solves is building, testing, and documenting API's so that developers don't have to juggle between multiple tools for testing , debugging and collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Postman?

There are certain features in Postman that look really good to me : 1.) Response formatting (can format the API response in JSON etc.) 2.) Environment setup (I can create and switch to a new environment which is very helpful to test the API response either in Quality or Production) 3.) I can easily get the code snippets for the provided API integration in the desired coding language, which is very helpful and time saving. 4.) I can also create my team, where all the members can perform testing simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

There is not much to dislike in Postman, but few are: 1.) I can add only limited member in a team with a basic/free plan. 2.) Sometimes, I get 429 for repeated API calls. 3.) Sometimes I also feel like Postman should also allow the user to manage workspace as code blocks rather limiting it to endpoints only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postman solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides various features that solve common problems faced during API development and interaction:

1.) Simplifies API Testing and Debugging : Simplifies API testing by providing a visual interface for interacting with APIs, making it easy for developers and testers to debug requests and responses.

2.) Collaborative API Development : Increases productivity by providing a shared environment for developers, testers, and stakeholders to collaborate on APIs.
