"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"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."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"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."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"Tricentis Tosca is well integrated with other products like Jira."
"This solution is easy to use for everybody, including those who are not IT-educated."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"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 integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"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."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"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."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"It is quite difficult to integrate the solution with other tools."
"It can be quite expensive."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"You need to spend much more time learning the tool and how to use it, compared to others."
"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."
