We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and Perfecto 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."It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"The tool has a good record and playback feature for functionality, which saves time when creating automated tests."
"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."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"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 most valuable aspect of the solution is that it covers all types of devices on the market allowing you to test different versions of an operating system."
"We're working in Agile and we need results ASAP. The fact that the lab provides same-day access to new devices is extremely important to us."
"One of the good things about Perfecto is the scalability that it provides."
"The number one feature, which if we didn't have out-of-the-box would be missed, is the fact that we have video execution. That gives us the ability to view errors or defects in the progression, from beginning to the end of the video."
"There are a whole bunch of things that I like about the solution, but I really love the interaction it has with mobile devices, the testing capabilities, as well as reporting capabilities that we get from the application. The reports are very detailed."
"Mobile testing is the most valuable feature as it has reduced dependency on physical devices. We are located offshore and we don't have the physical devices, and shipping physical devices after every new release would be a difficult task. But with Perfecto, it is easy."
"The quality of our software has improved since we implemented this solution."
"The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable."
"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."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"It would be nice if there were some kind of AI to compile a list of available devices. Currently, we have to look at the web interface to see the available devices, but the pipelines can't do it on their own there. We always need to do this manually, so it would be better if this feature were automated."
"I'm hoping that Perfecto will come up with browser testing as well because it would be easier to access it."
"I'm hoping they can support on-premises instances. We have been working on a JIRA integration with Perfecto—and I'm extremely impressed that they have that—but at this time they're not supporting onsite JIRA instances, which is what we have."
"When using devices on the cloud, it lags quite a bit at times. I know that these are real devices that are being projected on our laptop screens and monitors, but if the speed could be improved, that would be good."
"It does well for mobile testing, but when it comes to the web aspect, it is lagging a little bit in terms of execution."
"Its performance should be improved. Anything to speed up the user interface would be a great help. We've had a lot of pain with their migration from a product UI that was based on Adobe Flash to the new product that is based on HTML5. Migrations like that seemed to be very painful and not a real smooth process. We're still sort of recovering from that migration from old technology to new, and we haven't got all the functionality ported over that we used to have on the old UI."
"It would be ideal if there was a complete integration with other test management tools and other applications like HPLM, Micro Focus, or Microsoft Azure."
"We've had a couple of issues lately with videos not loading or browsers dying after some execution, although that happens very rarely."
