Overall Satisfaction with Postman

Being an IT Company, our organization was in need of an API testing and management tool. It had been a lot of hard to maintain APIs that connect the backend and frontend of our applications. Postman helped our company to manage and test the existing APIs as well as has been helping us to create new APIs. With the help of API documentation feature of Postman, it has been easy to provide guide to our clients within few clicks.
  • Managing the created APIs in a flexible way
  • Testing the APIs with GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE any many more requests
  • Creating API documentations for future reference
  • Disk usage of Postman is a lot high, sometimes it causes computer to flicker
  • The UI of Postman can be made more cleaner
  • API deployment services can also be added
  • Flexible
  • Scalable
  • Maintainable
  • Increase in testing speed of APIs
  • Production yield
  • Overall impact on enhancing the company revenue
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.

Integrating Postman

Postman is easy to integrate into any organization. Just a basic documentation is enough for the users to start making use of this product.
  • Django Rest Framework
  • GraphQL
  • Graphqlgen
Integrating Django Rest Framework was fair enough easy as compared to GrahQL and Graphqlgen APIs as they are a lot more complex than REST APIs. However, they are faster, powerful and more efficient than REST APIs.
  • Docker
  • Redis
  • MySQL
I think that vendors do not support this integration as Postman doesn't include database and their servers setup till now.
  • File import/export
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
I advise to follow proper documentation and if any problems persist contact the customer support of Postman. The customer helpline is so much responsive and helpful to solve any problems.
