This enables me to produce accurate API docs independently. > > **Cons**: There is a steep learning curve with some parts of the UI that feel technical for those who are unfamiliar. I considered myself to be in that group early on but with some persistence it is possible to self-teach. > > I use it as part of my process for writing and verifying API documentation for our SaaS software. I use it to test how it works, including authorization and then actual functionality. Finally I use it to validate my documentation with little to no extermnal input needed from collegues. ----- ### "Budding dev finds it useful" — 5.0/5 > **Stuart** | *9 July 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a budding developer I can try my endpoints without having to build any UI, saving me time and effort. > > **Cons**: Sometimes authentication can be a little frustrating for a beginner - bearer token implementation especially. > > Used on and off for about 7 years, from testing other people's end points, testing integrations and starting my own journey in developement. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Useful and reliable for API testing" — 4.0/5 > **Hrithik** | *13 July 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Postman makes it quick to test APIs, change request payloads, headers, and authentication, and inspect responses without writing a separate script each time. Collections and environments are also useful when testing the same endpoints across different setups. > > **Cons**: The interface can feel cluttered once there are many collections, tabs, and environments open. Syncing or keeping shared collections organized can also become confusing, and for very simple checks I sometimes find curl easier. > > Overall, Postman is a reliable tool for developing and testing APIs. I use it to validate endpoints, troubleshoot request and response issues, and repeat common test flows. It saves time for more involved requests, although the UI can feel heavier than necessary for basic calls. ----- Page: 1 / 22\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/188497/postman?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
