We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and Katalon Studio 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."GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"It is easy to set up."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"The tool has a good record and playback feature for functionality, which saves time when creating automated tests."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"The tool is easy to use. The product gives me the flexibility to use Selenium. I can also use my Java capabilities in the solution."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"Now we are having difficulties in using it and had to limit our automation experts to the features that Katalon allows us to use for free. It was free access and they claimed that it would be free for all time."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
