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."One of the most valuable features is the error handler, as this command has helped me design bots that can handle multiple errors and exceptions."
"I love its reliability, ease of use, and the vast customer support that are always present to help us."
"It has drag-and-drop features, which makes it very fast for us to gather the required data."
"We are getting massive efficiencies across our back office, internally."
"The turnaround time of building bots is quick. We are deploying around four bots per month. The turnaround time to get a design, build, and deploy is very fast. This is very good for us. It has helped us out when scaling up in a better manner."
"I love the Bot Store. I encourage a lot of my staff to use it, because it changes the game and the time that it takes to build automation. It has a lot of reusable things that you can use off the bat."
"In 2018, we looked at some other products on the market, but Automation Anywhere was a perfect fit. We didn't have any issues that Automation Anywhere couldn't solve. The critical factor for us was its ease of use. We liked the drag-and-drop interface and the low-code capabilities."
"Simply tagging variables used in the bot, can provide automated real-time dashboards that are presentable to management showing them a complete view of how the bots are performing."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"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."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"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."
"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 scalability of the product is good."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"We have a challenge in our front office automation where capturing details from a table within a table does not happen in the existing AA Enterprise client version 11.3.4. The AA team tries various methods like using an Excel spreadsheet to capture the tables."
"Right now, we are using a VM with Automation Anywhere installed inside it, but it would be nice if the solution could be used on macOS."
"Automation Anywhere will sometimes announce releases or updates in their roadmap, and we wait for them, but they do not happen on time or at all."
"[They] should add more Analytics and Intelligence related capabilities."
"Automation Anywhere can include database commands like insert row, bold row, etc commands in 11.x"
"I would like to see integration better integration with Excel and SAP."
"Automation Anywhere is easy to use, even if you lack technical skills. People without deep technical expertise can easily develop scenarios."
"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"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."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
