My company’s product is an API and Postman has been a key tool to test it, collaborate internally on requests and share it to the external world. Our ecosystem is also very API intensive and we also use Postman to discover other companies APIs.
We use all those features:
- HTTP requests
- Mock servers (to test async requests which call back a webhook endpoint)
- Workspaces: private and public
- Monitors, alerts and integrations
I’m excited by the direction Postman has been taking over the years.
Most of commenters in the thread seem to think that Postman is still in the “lightweight cURL replacement GUI” market, like so many of the alternatives mentioned. I think this is wrong - Postman has now has moved to an upper market where requirements are more advanced and complex.
Btw - we use both Postman & cURL
