We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and UiPath Test Suite 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."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 important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"The functionality of the data is very good. You can upload and disperse data using the solution."
"In terms of integration with other lifecycle tools and applications, UiPath Test Suite works very well because of the basis of RPA, and how RPA and automation can handle different applications and different areas of expertise."
"It's useful for automating tasks."
"We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."
"The detailed logging is invaluable."
"Test Suite has multiple tools that are fully integrated. It has everything you need to record your test cases, generate your documentation, and integrate synthetic data with your Orchestrator. I like the integrated aspect of it. The biggest advantage of UiPath is that it not only tests but also integrates with all the other services to offer a complete package."
"We are finding bugs and defects much faster."
"UiPath's most valuable features are reusability and low-code aspects. It works across both desktop and web applications."
"UiPath's tools are generally designed for business users, so they can be as simple or as complex as needed."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"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."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"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."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."
"The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better."
"Orchestrator is not easy to use or understand."
"UiPath could further enhance its functionality by simplifying the test case creation process within Test Suite."
"We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks."
"Storing the test scripts is what needs to improve in the UiPath Test Suite, as it's currently a challenge to some extent. Maintaining the files is a bit challenging, especially when you need to keep those locally."
"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."
"Our primary application is built on Windows, so we've faced no significant challenges. However, I think mobile automation is one area where the solution still needs some work."
