We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and Ranorex Studio 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."The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."
"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."
"The solution is stable."
"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."
"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."
"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."
"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"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."
"One aspect that can be improved is testing for desktop applications. I would like to see them support more technologies in this area."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."
"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls)."
"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."
"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."
"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."
"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."
"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."
"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."
