"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"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 most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"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."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"Its stability needs improvement."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."

"Reporting facilities can be better."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."
