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."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."
"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 most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"The initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would give OpenText UFT One a 10 because it is a reliable product, it works, it's as good or better than similar solutions especially because you get technical support from real people. Additionally, upgrades are always provided on a consistent basis."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"Hidden among the kitchen sink of features is a new Data Generation tool called the Test Combinations Generator."
"It's simple to set up."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."
"The entire framework is very useful. It's easily integrable with Excel."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"Its stability needs improvement."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to friction-free continuous testing across the software life cycle, as a local installation is required to run UFT."
"It could work with more browsers other than Internet Explorer, and could better handle new things like Ext JS."
"I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason."
"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."
"We have had some issues with stability, where it crashes sometimes."
"I would like to have detailed description provided to test the cloud-based applications."
"I'd like to see UFT integrated more with some of the open source tools like Selenium, where web is involved."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
