HackerOne vs Postman: What are the differences?

What is HackerOne? The Vulnerability Management & Bug Bounty Platform. Someone has found a potential security issue with your technology. What happens next? Making certain this discovery leads to a positive outcome for everyone involved is crucial. Replacing an antiquated security@ mailbox with the HackerOne platform brings order and control to an otherwise chaotic process.

What is Postman? Only complete API development environment. Postman is the only complete API development environment, used by nearly five million developers and more than 100,000 companies worldwide.

HackerOne and Postman are primarily classified as "Bug Bounty as a Service" and "API" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by HackerOne are:

  • Vulnerability Handling
  • Multi-Party Coordination
  • Flexible Integration

On the other hand, Postman provides the following key features:

  • Compact layout
  • HTTP requests with file upload support
  • Formatted API responses for JSON and XML

"Security Response" is the primary reason why developers consider HackerOne over the competitors, whereas "Easy to use" was stated as the key factor in picking Postman.

According to the StackShare community, Postman has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1753 company stacks & 2234 developers stacks; compared to HackerOne, which is listed in 15 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.

Swagger UISwagger UI

From a StackShare Community member: "I just started working for a start-up and we are in desperate need of better documentation for our API. Currently our API docs is in a README.md file. We are evaluating Postman and Swagger UI. Since there are many options and I was wondering what other StackSharers would recommend?"

I use Postman because of the ease of team-management, using workspaces and teams, runner, collections, environment variables, test-scripts (post execution), variable management (pre and post execution), folders (inside collections, for better management of APIs), newman, easy-ci-integration (and probably a few more things that I am not able to recall right now).

I use Swagger UI because it's an easy tool for end-consumers to visualize and test our APIs. It focuses on that ! And it's directly embedded and delivered with the APIs. Postman's built-in tools aren't bad, but their main focus isn't the documentation and also, they are hosted outside the project.

Insomnia REST ClientInsomnia REST Client

Postman supports automation and organization in a way that Insomnia just doesn't. Admittedly, Insomnia makes it slightly easy to query the data that you get back (in a very MongoDB-esque query language) but Postman sets you up to develop the code that you would use in development/testing right in the editor.
