When Does It Make Sense to Move Beyond Postman?

Postman is still a great tool for testing APIs, but I’ve started wondering if an API client is enough for a modern development workflow.

As projects grow, we often need to:

Run API tests in CI/CD
Manage multiple environments
Keep API documentation in sync
Share test scenarios between developers and QA
Move from manual testing to repeatable workflows

That’s what led me to explore Apidog as a possible Postman alternative.

What I find interesting is that it combines API design, testing, documentation, mocking, and automation instead of treating them as separate workflows.

I know tools like Bruno, Insomnia, and Hoppscotch are also popular alternatives, so I’m curious what other developers here prefer.

Are you still using Postman, or have you moved to something else?
