"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and user-friendly."
"The scalability is good."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"It's user-friendly. Anybody can learn it within five to seven minutes."
"The user-interface is very good."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"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."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"One thing which Postman needs to improve is the documentation. The documentation of Postman is not that great when compared to other tools."
"I have recently noticed that, for some reason, I am not able to import collections in JSON. It is weird because I was able to do it before. When you create a new collection and documentation, in tests, you usually have to click Save. If you don't click Save, your collections don't sync with other devices, which is something I don't like. It is not clear for the users in a shared workspace, and I usually forget to click Save and end up losing all the collections that I created. I create a lot of routes, and clicking Save all the time isn't efficient. Instead of clicking Save all the time, there should be an option to save everything in one go."
"We have previously used Tosca which allowed us to verify information using authentications. It would be useful if this was also possible using Postman. In a future release, Postman should connect to DB."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"The request encryption could be one thing on which they can work a little bit. If we don't want to expose our production data but we still want to test our APIs on the production data, there should be a way to do that. It is not only with Postman. I think no tool in the market is doing that right now."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"Postman needs more advanced data-driven testing."
