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 solution is a stable one."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"It is easy to set up."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"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."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"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."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"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."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
