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."It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"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."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The tool has a good record and playback feature for functionality, which saves time when creating automated tests."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The tool is easy to use. The product gives me the flexibility to use Selenium. I can also use my Java capabilities in the solution."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"It has low productivity."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"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."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
