We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and Katalon Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"The solution is a stable one."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"Good text reading ability."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"It has low productivity."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
