Overall Satisfaction with Postman

I am a software developer working for an enterprise-level company. I work on developing software using Java and Kotlin for developing restful web services. In order to test those web services, we use Postman for testing the behavior of services. In my organization, most of the developers use Postman for testing purposes. It is a very good tool to use, as it can be understood very easily and supports different formats like JSON XML.
  • It has a group environment through which different teams can integrate and work together.
  • Easy to switch between different modes i.e JSON XML. Authenticating using different protocols is easy.
  • Pricing is also very comfortable.
  • Enterprise version is easy to setup and use but the number of requests is limited. I feel it would be great if there were more requests.
  • Pricing for enterprise should be less.
  • I don't have any more complaints as it is very good tool.
  • Development time has significantly reduced due to usage of Postman.
  • It is easy to install and use.
  • Enterprise edition pricing should be reduced.
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.
I barely got a chance to interact with customer care because I've never had any problem with it.

Do you think Postman delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Postman's feature set?

Yes

Did Postman live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Postman go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Postman again?

Yes

I don't think there are very good alternates to Postman, as of now at least. It is the industry-standard tool and is very easy to use. I recommend every developer start using Postman because it will reduce development time significantly. I don't have complaints apart from that.
