We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and OpenText UFT One 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."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."
"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 initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"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."
"UFT has improved our ability to regression test."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus UFT One is you are able to use it with many other technologies. I have not had an instance where the solution was not able to automate or execute automation. I was able to use COBOL to manage some automation."
"With frequent releases, using automation to perform regression testing can save us huge amount of time and resources."
"It's easy to use for beginners and non-technical people."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"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."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"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."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"Sometimes it appears that UFT takes a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected. Also, UFT uses a lot of memory. On this note, if you are running UFT on a virtual server I would add more RAM memory than the minimum requirements especially when using multiple add-ins. HP is pretty good about coming out with new patches to fix known issues and it pays for the user to check for new patches and updates on a regular basis."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"Perhaps more coverage as far as different languages go. I'm talking more about object identification."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
"The solution is expensive."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
