Verdict
Postman has evolved from a testing tool to a full API platform that excels at the design, documentation, and collaborative testing stages of the API lifecycle.
What customers praise
The collaborative workspaces and built-in mocking, documentation, and test generation tools create an exceptional inner-loop experience for developers building APIs.
What customers criticise
Its API gateway is a newer and less mature offering, lacking the performance and advanced policy features of dedicated gateways like Kong or Apigee.
Best for
Development teams prioritizing the 'design-first' approach to APIs and collaboration during the development and testing lifecycle.
