We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and Perfecto 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."We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
"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."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"We are continuously doing testing on different environments, devices, and platforms. It executes seamlessly on multiple devices without having any connectivity issues. It has been really helpful for us to test on cloud devices."
"Mobile testing is the most valuable feature as it has reduced dependency on physical devices. We are located offshore and we don't have the physical devices, and shipping physical devices after every new release would be a difficult task. But with Perfecto, it is easy."
"In terms of cross-platform testing, they offer all of it, every device available in the market. It covers real scenarios that mimic production so that we don't miss out on any devices that our clients might be using to run the applications we develop. It's been great and very helpful."
"The automation piece is the most valuable feature. Every time we had a new version of either OS or an application, we found that being able to automate the testing across different devices is very valuable."
"We're working in Agile and we need results ASAP. The fact that the lab provides same-day access to new devices is extremely important to us."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is that it covers all types of devices on the market allowing you to test different versions of an operating system."
"It creates a faster production cycle and is quick to market. Things get deployed earlier because the testing happens on time. We can do a lot of panelization, so a lot of test phases can happen in a panel. People don't have to wait for a device to come to them. They can access multiple devices at the same time and do testing at the same time."
"In terms of Perfecto's ability to perform cross-platform testing, I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"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 integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"We have had some issues with performance, which is something that should be improved."
"Its performance should be improved. Anything to speed up the user interface would be a great help. We've had a lot of pain with their migration from a product UI that was based on Adobe Flash to the new product that is based on HTML5. Migrations like that seemed to be very painful and not a real smooth process. We're still sort of recovering from that migration from old technology to new, and we haven't got all the functionality ported over that we used to have on the old UI."
"It would be nice if there were some kind of AI to compile a list of available devices. Currently, we have to look at the web interface to see the available devices, but the pipelines can't do it on their own there. We always need to do this manually, so it would be better if this feature were automated."
"When using devices on the cloud, it lags quite a bit at times. I know that these are real devices that are being projected on our laptop screens and monitors, but if the speed could be improved, that would be good."
"One improvement would be speed of execution. If it is an iOS native app, we have noticed that the speed is a bit slower. Perfecto might need to make some improvements in this area."
"The flakiness, or the accuracy, of the test execution can be improved. Also, the responsiveness of their cloud lab could be improved as well."
"We feel that Perfecto is a little slow. If they could improve on that slowness in accessing the app, when we want to click a button, that would be great because we feel the difference. An improvement in the connectivity speed is required."
"We don't use Perforce's BlazeMeter with Perfecto. From my perspective, it's not really relevant."
