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."The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The solution is a stable one."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"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."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"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 valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"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."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"There was no free trial in it."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"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."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
