Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can integration with other APIs, which is a good thing. This helps us with our database integration. For example, we have done an SAP integration, which is great, since SAP has a lot of manual work."
"Manual efforts have been reduced and the accuracy has increased. In the processes I have done, the accuracy has reached 100 percent, and manual load and time has been reduced."
"The RPA automation itself is valuable."
"The valuable features that I see for automation with enterprise RPA are IQ Bot and Bot Insights. If you do anything, Bot Insight will provide the dashboard. It starts from the developer with artificial intelligence and the dashboard, which will provide the visibility of business-level metrics as well as operational-level metrics. Those are the good things I see in automation."
"With Automation Anywhere, what used to take us two days now takes us twenty minutes."
"It doesn't require any coding knowledge. Any business person can automate this process."
"The support team responds quickly."
"A user can easily adopt this technology and utilize it, when compared to the other available resources in the market."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"The tool is easy to use. The product gives me the flexibility to use Selenium. I can also use my Java capabilities in the solution."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"In high-availability, we have two Control Rooms acting as a cluster so if one fails the other one will take over. But that's not our environment operationally, and the latest information we have is that they identified another product bug."
"Technical support is not very good and they sometimes promise what they cannot deliver. They promised us that they would implement multitrigger and according to sources delivery of that functionality is not in their plans."
"[They] should add more Analytics and Intelligence related capabilities."
"The product needs to catch up to the promise of known technology and apply more intelligent behaviors concerning AI or unstructured learning."
"We could use more accuracy with IQ Bot."
"The installation piece was sort of complicated because we are new to the business. We are new to installing Automation Anywhere services and the services that they are providing. So, we are sort of expected some kind of installation engineer to come onto our premises and provide the support, rather than remotely."
"We did use quite a bit of Citrix automation. Of course, AI Sense helps you through that. There are two big challenges that I can think of with Citrix automation. Your making multiple hops into end-to-end systems. As you are rating the screen, which is a screen within a screen, which is what Citrix automation is, the complexity increases. That is where the two things will come in: the tool's functionality and the beauty of design. These two have to come in together to make it work. If you don't have one or the other, it's not going to work."
"The Help menu/description can be provided while hovering over actions so that it can help us better to know them."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
