Postman has the ability for an end to end development of API. Others apps available don't have this ability. They lack in one or more cases. But Postman here is developed itself by an IT engineer working in Banglore, the IT city of india. He understands the issues faced by the developers hence it solves all the issues.

- ReadyAPI, SoapUI Open Source and supported by SmartBear
There isn't much between them, really we just picked Postman as it was slightly better but the others are still good. We also had a few people that had a good experience of using Postman join the team when we were looking at what tools to use and with them using Postman before it allowed for us to get started much quicker.

NGL first of all was word of mouth. my teammates were already using Postman so I was told to use it as well. I tried exploring other alternatives but most of them seem to provide a particular service. On the other hand, Postman is a whole bundle to manage almost everything related to APIs

Everyone is familiar with Postman as being a helpful tool for testing APIs.

Sharing across teams is very robust in Postman than SoapUI.
Adding APIs/ managing collections is very user friendly in Postman.

A must-have tool for API development
Postman is a lot more affordable and maintainable than its competitors. Also, it is easy to use and deployment takes less amount of time. So, we selected Postman as it best fits our requirements.

Postman, a solid addition to your toolbox
ReadyAPI is a nightmare for source control integration but gives you a huge plethora more tools to create automated tests for APIs. With Visual Studio you can use a unit test framework to create test cases that can instantiate a WebClient class and make API calls. It takes more development-specific knowledge, and the setup is much more involved than the abstraction offered through postman. A postman falls somewhere in the middle, you give up on some things in favor of others.

Any API request quick'n'easy
Before using Postman it was a big issue when we had to study and understand how a new API works. Even if we have all documentation from the 3rd party, doing requests (POST/GET/etc.) was always a problem since it was needed to develop a small code by the back-end team and asks for the data returned. It took a long time! Postback came to speedup the process and let me do it by myself.

Postman - A Beautiful coded API Testing App.
It is used by the for testing live and offline api's.
We deploy refined code to production with the help of postman so that our front-end developers get rid of errors. In comparison with other's postman is well designed and handle calls very perfectly.

Postman Delivers
Postman is a great out-of-the-box tool for API testing. SwaggerHub is also good but requires a bit more configuration to integrate with the API you're going to test (if the API isn't set up for it, you probably won't get much out of SwaggerHub).

My review on Postman
It is a tool like Insomnia. I used it for some time but all the developers are addicted to using Postman. Soap UI also came up with testing the rest of the services. Before they only offered soap services testing but the soap UI is also not that great when compared to Postman.

Great API testing tool
I did not use SoapUI and can't compare them. But, Postman gave results my team needed, that's why we did not test any other software. Runs simple, gives instant and exact results.

Postman: A tool to develop and test your API's with ease!
Chrome DevTools doesn't compare to Postman. One supplements the other. I haven't used or evaluated any other software compared to Postman. I have used PowerShell to make HTTP calls against our API's, though that is all command-line based and doesn't stack up nearly as high as Postman.

Easy API testing using Postman
Postman is NOT an API management tool, it is an API testing tool. If you're expecting to use Postman to manage API requests stats and usage stats, read no further: Postman is NOT for you. If you want to see the JSON output of a RESTful API, you're in the right place. There are other tools like Insomnia and SoapUI that I know of, but I haven't tested directly. Once I found out about Postman I downloaded, used it, and haven't looked back since. Postman really hits all the features you could use if you're testing an API in a nice, elegant package.

Postman: organize and improve efficiency of API development.
I have used curl command which pretty much does the same in an unordered fashion. Postman has organization to it, with an ability to store commands in a fashion where it just becomes easy to use it.

My Postman Delivers...
- SoapUI Pro and JMeter
Postman has pros and cons both and keeping them in mind we are using multiple tools to leverage our Services, integration, automation, and testing needs.
Some of the above mentioned tools have better automation or complete framework implementation capabilities. Having all the tools including Postman available to the organization is making us more efficient.

A great tool that should never be out of developers list of apps to use when developing web apps.
Although Apigee Edge platforms Trace UI does the same job as Postman. Postman is the most advanced of the two. Browser extensions I know of that does the same thing as Postman are too bad of apps to use even to have a mention here. Either they are limited in features or the user interface is very hard to use.

Postman is my preferred tool for API and web service testing
Other tools I have used include LINQPad which allows coding to call APIs and while not as friendly as Postman, is one of my go-to tools for development and templating. Swagger for C# APIs generates web pages that can show the required parameters for a GET/POST call and allow testing. This can be useful in generating classes for API calls and also executing the API calls but Postman is preferred for its collections, history, and functionality.

Postman is the best utility to test APIs
I did not consider any other products. Postman is the standard-bearer.

Postman - Web Service Tool Useful Facts

A must API tool in modern IT
I used ARC (advances rest client). ARC does not provide rich features like Postman. Postman is easy to use and import features are far better.

Postman is a powerful API development tool
Postman has a very easy interface to build your requests, it is better than others in every aspect of API development.
Previous to using Postman, I would either use browser tools directly, or write an in-house tool to send requests. Postman eliminates that need while providing a much better experience and more features. At the base level, Postman is as simple as typing in the address as you would in a browser. Authentication can be provided simply as well.

Life changer for API developers
I used Fiddler before, and while it does a lot, it's not as good as Postman. Postman is so unique, and helps you test specific API calls with specific tokens, etc. You can modify it in a way that Fiddler can't. It is definitely a more secure tool to test API calls than many others out there.
