"The feature that allows you to import an API collection or a project is valuable."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"When we are doing API testing we have found it to be very efficient to receive results. Additionally, you are able to do tests directly from the API."

"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the drag-and-drop options and the integration with versioning tool solutions, such as Git."

"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"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."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"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 reporting in ReadyAPI could be better. It can become sloppy, sometimes it works and other times it does not."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"What needs improvement in ReadyAPI is its load testing feature because there was a hiccup when my team performed some load testing on the tool. My team had meetings with the ReadyAPI team and tried to get that issue fixed, but it still hasn't improved. This is a shortcoming of the tool, especially when you compare it with HP LoadRunner."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"I don't like how they don't have a clear way to manage tests between multiple projects."
"It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."
