We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and LambdaTest 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."The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"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."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"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."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."
"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"Without a doubt, LambdaTest is one of the big reasons behind our faster deployment and better team collaboration."
"In case something goes wrong at LambdaTest end, the Support team is extremely responsive to analyze any platform-related issues."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"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."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"It would be much easier for us to read the test if they provided dashboard analytics."
"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
