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."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"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."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"The UI should be improved."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
"I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
