Overall Satisfaction with Postman

The regular use case Postman is fine as it's helpful to manage multiple APIs belonging to various projects. but for our case, Postman is a big relief, especially because we often have to communicate with non-conventional clients who have their own custom API-consuming mechanisms. i.e SAP service; those guys do not possess familiarity with convention REST APIs. this is where Postman proved to be a big help. all we needed from our side was just give a link and they'll get the whole API collection.
  • bundling of APIs into collection
  • allow to create a globally accessible link
  • great UI/UX to interact with APIs
  • desktop version is process heavy
  • same is the case with extention
  • it would be better if they produce a slim minimal version with only essentials packed in
  • generate link for sharing to others
  • authorization to limit rights in organization
  • flexibility to have App or extention
  • certainly free version is pocket frinedly
  • pro version is better to work with organizations and for the charges, it really deliveres above average
  • unseen ROI is also received in the form of increased productivity
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

if you have a small number of APIs to work with, it's probably an overkill
it is very efficient when it comes to manage large number of APIs, one can manage APIs per project as well.
very good authentication testing UI. makes it pretty easy to work with all kinds of available AUTH practices.
allows to ingest multiple types of data like FORMDATA/JSON
