Postman vs Insomnia (Or vs other tools)

Hi,

 

Just started my job in a new company, and we're using Insomnia. It's a new API testing tool for me, but I would like to hear why Postman (which used to be the go-to tool) is no longer a first-choice?

 

Would also love to hear about other tools I found from other articles if applicable:

  • Swagger
  • Bruno
  • Apidog

We can no longer use Postman, have you had success with Insomnia?

@walterstedneir @Lon Landry4 I am using Insomnia for quite some time now because postman doesnt comply to my org security standards hence got uninstalled,

Insomnia  is working as expected. I am able to test my ServiceNow REST endpoints, save them for future use, group the saved requests into folders for easy of use and management.

Overall I dont miss postman, insomnia is able to get the job done.
