We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and ReadyAPI Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"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."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"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."
"Now we are having difficulties in using it and had to limit our automation experts to the features that Katalon allows us to use for free. It was free access and they claimed that it would be free for all time."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"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."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
"The UI should be improved."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."
"There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases."
