Pynt makes API security testing easy by working directly with tools like Postman. It’s simple to set up and works well in our CI/CD pipeline. The Slack community is helpful and quick to respond to any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is challenging. As a beginner, it’s hard for me to set up Postman. I recommend making it more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pynt is a remarkable no-code security scanning tool that fills a significant gap in API testing. While many companies rely on Postman for API execution and testing, Postman lacks the capability to validate security vulnerabilities within collections. Pynt steps in to provide that crucial functionality, enabling seamless verification of existing Postman collections to uncover potential vulnerabilities.

One of the standout features of Pynt is its ease of use. Being Docker-based, it requires minimal setup, allowing users to get started quickly. The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it accessible to both technical and non-technical users. I highly recommend Pynt for anyone looking to enhance their API security testing.

At present, I don't see any significant drawbacks with the Pynt tool. I had previously provided feedback on improving the HTML reporting feature, and I'm impressed by how swiftly the Pynt team, especially Ofer and Tzvika, addressed it. Their responsiveness to user feedback and commitment to continuous improvement is commendable. Pynt is a tool that evolves with its users' needs, and I look forward to seeing more enhancements in the future.

Pynt created a very easy approach to DAST scanning by proxying network calls. This approach helps circumvent the hardest part of setting up DAST - getting authentication working in a test account. Using in CICD pipeline, we are frequently using this tool for our day to day uses. Also it provides slack community support, which caters to resolving issues faster.
