Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a software engineer and lead a developers team at my organization. In my organization, we develop lots of APIs and web services on a daily basis for APIs and web services testing. We use Postman to test small APIs for individuals especially. I like it because it makes the development of APIs and web services easy and fast.

Pros and Cons

Powerful user interface
Easy to use
Transparent processes: we can see what happens throughout from management to executive level.
In my team, everyone is accountable for their deliveries.

We can't test WSDL. Postman needs further improvement in this field too.
I don't see any other cons in the Postman.

Return on Investment

To be honest, I use the free version of Postman.
In the free version, Postman helps me a lot with the testing and debugging of APIs and web services.

Alternatives Considered

SoapUI NG Pro

I also use SoapUI for testing and debugging but SoapUI uses lots of memory and processor space. That's why I mostly use Postman and for WDSL services I use SoapUI. If in the future we going to purchase any one of them we would recommend Postman because Postman is cheaper than SoapUI.

Other Software Used

SoapUI NG Pro, FileZilla, Bitrix24

Likelihood to Recommend

Postman helped me to create dummy backends for my web app without having to worry about having an actual backend while working on my front-end. It helps in creating API structures by allowing us to save responses for a callout request and debug all my APIs via postman smoothly and easily.
