I can group all my API requests together and switch between dev, staging, and production with just one click. Writing test scripts is simple, execution is fast, and the Collection Runner saves a lot of time during regression testing. > > **Cons**: It gets slow when your workspace has too many collections. The free plan is limited and paid plans are a bit expensive for small teams. Also, team collaboration on shared collections can get confusing when multiple people are editing at the same time. > > As a QA engineer, Postman has made API testing much simpler. Easy to set up, clean UI, and great for managing and automating tests. Integrating it with CI/CD using Newman was really useful. A few performance and pricing concerns, but overall it's the go-to tool for API testing and well worth it. ----- ### "A Reliable All-in-One Tool for Modern API Development" — 5.0/5 > **Jamsly** | *12 December 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Postman is an effective all-in-one tool for API development, supporting REST, GraphQL, and gRPC in a single interface. It streamlines the entire API workflow from building and testing requests to documentation and automation without requiring multiple tools. Environment management, scripting, and collaboration features make it efficient for both individual developers and teams. > > **Cons**: The main limitation in for me is the lack of a fully functional offline mode. Many features depend on an active internet connection, which can be restrictive in low-connectivity environments or when working offline. > > My overall experience with Postman has been very positive. After more than three years of regular use, it has proven to be a reliable and efficient tool for developing and testing multiple REST APIs, and more recently, a GraphQL API. Its consistency, versatility, and maturity make it a dependable part of my daily development workflow. ----- ### "The go-to API tool for testing, environment management, and team collaboration" — 5.0/5 > **Kaynan** | *23 April 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Postman makes it extremely easy to build, test, and manage API collections. The environment management feature is excellent — switching between dev, staging, and production with a single click saves a lot of time. The team workspace allows everyone to share collections and stay in sync without duplicating work. The built-in test scripts with JavaScript support are powerful for writing integration tests directly in the tool. > > **Cons**: The free plan has limitations on the number of requests per month that can be a constraint for teams with heavy usage. The UI can feel a bit cluttered when managing large collections with many nested folders. Some advanced features like monitors and mock servers are only available on paid plans. > > Postman is an indispensable tool for our engineering team at NextDay. We use it to manage all our API collections, organize requests by environment, and run integration tests before deploying. The ability to have shared team workspaces means everyone has access to the latest collection versions. The environment variable management is one of the best features — it lets us switch between dev, AT, and production configurations instantly. The test scripting capabilities have helped us automate validation and catch regressions early in development. ----- ### "FRUSTRATING, Mandatory registration \!" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 July 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a good software, provides quick results for testing APIs and debugging things. Somewhat easy to use. I didn't need to read any documentation to use it. > > **Cons**: FORCED ACCOUNT CREATION \! For testing a simple API they want to track your account. ONE OF THE WORST USER EXPERIENCE \!\!\!\!\! I have been looking for a replacement for a long long time. > > FRUSTRATING experience \! I would never ever recommend anyone to create an account to test something as simple as API. My usage is about once a month in last 12 months and forcing me to login is something I DO NOT WANT. Since they DO not have any feedback system, I am wasting so time to find a place to send them a message. POSTMAN used to be great please remove mandatory registration. ----- ### "An Essential Tool for Any Developer Working with APIs" — 4.0/5 > **Tyler** | *31 August 2025* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It completely eliminates the guesswork in API development. I can test endpoints, debug responses, and automate entire workflows without ever leaving the app. The collaboration features are a lifesaver – sharing a collection with a teammate is instant, and everyone always has the latest version. It’s made working with APIs faster and way more reliable. > > **Cons**: The app can be a serious memory hog, especially with large workspace or long-running sessions. I also miss the simplicity of the older versions sometimes; the constant push toward the web app and new features can make it feel bloated. The learning curve for advanced scripting is also pretty steep. > > Extremely positive. It’s one of those tools that feels indispensable once you’re used to it. Despite some performance quirks, it’s the gold standard for API work for a reason. It just works. ----- Page: 1 / 22\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/188497/postman?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/188497/postman) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
