We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and Worksoft Certify 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 functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"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 scalability of the product is good."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"We are now trying to automate all our applications: SAP, web, third-party, and legacy. Instead of multiple tools, we have been able to have Worksoft handle a lot of our applications. This has saved us a lot of time and effort."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automate quickly and to maintain and update scripts."
"One of the bigger value-adds that we had was extracting data from our warning systems to be inputted into our new learning system."
"The ability to work with the data, with recordsets, and plug those into the scripts is very easy and very powerful. We use it extensively."
"If we write a new test that's 80 percent the same as an existing test, it is pretty straightforward to reuse the steps from existing tests for our new tests and build upon them."
"With autotesting, we have been able to eliminate duplication of test cases across those four areas. This has helped us knock down our number of test cases. Our test cases are also running more optimally. Therefore, it has very much helped in that sense, so we were able to eliminate a lot of test cases and get out of manual silos by running on autotesting, which is more efficient."
"The scripting methodology is easy to learn. It is easy to maintain because it is presented in a simple, narrative way. You don't need to know programming." "It has reduced our test maintenance time by more than 50 percent because we don't have to do manual test processes. We have saved over 150 man-hours monthly. It has increased our delivery times. We went from 200 man-hours down (three weeks work time frame) to approximately 40 man-hours (three days work time frame)."
"Certify's web UI testing abilities for testing of modern applications like SAP Fiori was good when we started and they developed it to be even better. We all know that web applications can change objects in DOM quite fast and it breaks tests. To counter it Certify has made object recognition more flexible and generic, so we don't have any troubles."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"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."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"Certify is integrated with Solution Manager, but this integration could be easier."
"Pricing is a bit high and we would like to have the availability of a trail environment for beginners and training would be great to have and easier to expand and use by more and more consultants."
"Our interactions with technical support has not been the best always and there is room for improvement especially with respect to the time taken to respond to cases. However, with the right contacts and reasonable escalations we have always managed to get quick attention on our cases."
"For Execution Manager, I would like it to be more robust interface and be able to view the remote machines full screen instead of a little window."
"I would like BPP to have more filtering options during the report creation. This would make our customers happy."
"An area that I would like to see improved is how the permissions are applied. If you're applying permissions groups to a user, one of the options is to delete the group entirely and lose the entire permission group, rather than just deleting the permission from the user, which seems a little silly. In my opinion, that whole module of permissions is very confusing and lends itself to common errors."
"The technical support has been good, but sometimes there are little delays. A lot of times when we need support, it's an emergency situation."
"We're really hopeful for the mobile testing in Worksoft Certify going forward."
