"Review for insomnia"
Product Reviewed: Kong Insomnia
What do you like best about Kong Insomnia?

I used insomnia last 2 years and I love to use this tool as a rest API test and call API. I can easily and quickly send REST, and SOAP requests within these tools. UI of this tool is built as an easy to understand what I have to do next. I get what is expected from the API tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kong Insomnia?

The dislike part about insomnia is this tool is used by some software developers only. Several times I had to send another tool proof to my client as they did not use insomnia. The community is small and taking time to get the answer from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
