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 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.

"Makes API Testing Simple and Efficient"
What do you like best about Postman?

I like how easy it is to quickly test APIs without setting up much. The collections and environment variables make it really convenient to manage different endpoints. Also, the UI is pretty straightforward, so it saves a lot of time while debugging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

Sometimes it feels a bit heavy and slow, especially when you have large collections open. Also, managing environments and variables can get messy if the project grows. And a few features are locked behind the paid version, which can be limiting. 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.

"Clear API Responses and Easy Multi-Environment Variables in Postman"
What do you like best about Postman?

I really like Postman because the API response is displayed clearly whenever an API is triggered. One thing I especially like at my company is that we have three environments; depending on the environment, we can set variables, and those variables are then used automatically when we trigger an API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

In the post, let’s consider that there are many collections. Right now, it doesn’t differentiate between the collections. If there were a color difference, it would be easier to quickly find a particular collection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I like most about Postman is its simplicity and powerful API testing. It allows me to build APIs quickly, test and debug in an intuitive interface. Collections, environment variables, and team collaboration features make development faster, more organised, and efficient for a variety of projects and teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

One thing I hate about Postman is that it can get slow and use a lot of resources when you are dealing with big collections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Industry Standard for Scalable API Development & Testing"
What do you like best about Postman?

Postman’s environment variables and collection runner are indispensable for backend development. I specifically appreciate how easily I can switch between local, staging, and production environments without changing the request body. The ability to write Pre-request and Test scripts in JavaScript allows me to automate authentication flows (like capturing a JWT and setting it as a global variable), which saves hours during recursive domain testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

The desktop application can become quite resource-heavy (RAM consumption) when working with massive collections or multiple workspaces open. Additionally, the transition from the 'Scratchpad' to the forced Cloud Sync can be a hurdle for developers working on strictly local or offline environments, though the collaboration features partially make up for it.

"Collections and Collection Runner Make API Testing Fast and Organized"
What do you like best about Postman?

Honestly, I love the Collections feature. I just group my requests project-wise and it keeps everything clean and easy to find. Sharing collections with the team is super simple too - no back and forth, everyone's on the same page instantly. What I also really like is the Collection Runner. Being able to run requests with multiple iterations is really handy, I've actually used it to test server load through the API which worked way better than I expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postman?

The main thing that really bothers me is how slow it is to load. It takes much longer to open than other tools, and sometimes it just feels heavier than it needs to be for what it is. On days when I need to jump in and test something quickly, having to wait for it to load gets pretty frustrating. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s definitely something they should improve.
