Saves time and effort, is user-friendly, and has a free version

Pros

"In Postman, we have an option to directly import a call, make it a Postman collection, and execute it in a batch. This feature is very useful. It saves a lot of time. The manual effort is also reduced when we can just pick it in a Postman collection and then run and execute it to get the results."

Cons

"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."

Centralized collections improve collaboration with remote login capabilities and helpful support

Pros

"One of the biggest advantages of Postman is its user-base approach."

Cons

"One of the features that is missing in Postman is reporting; it's very basic."

Easy API development and testing that's fast and user-friendly

Pros

"Postman helps us to automate the API testing in the team."

Cons

"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs. "

Useful for API testing and allows users to share multiple workspaces with developers

Pros

"Postman is useful for API testing."

Cons

"The scalability of the solution can be improved."

Lightweight, flexible, and easy to use and learn

Pros

"We use it for REST API testing. Feature-wise, it is pretty lightweight. It is pretty fast, and we don't have to do a lot of things. We can just simply go and post our endpoint, and it gives different kinds of authorizations. We usually use authentication 2.0, which is the most common industry practice. So, it has the support for authorization through 2.0."

Cons

"The request encryption could be one thing on which they can work a little bit. If we don't want to expose our production data but we still want to test our APIs on the production data, there should be a way to do that. It is not only with Postman. I think no tool in the market is doing that right now."

Testing multiple endpoints seamlessly with versatile environment setups

Pros

" I can use multiple environments, which allows me to create environment variables for each endpoint."

Cons

"It would be beneficial to expand functionality with additional testing options."
