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."There are many features that are valuable including Whatsapp messages, OCR, and image recognization, but I have not tried all of them."
"This RPA solution really stands out because of its functionality, scalability, and stability. It also offers very good technical support, and is always innovating with new features that speak to various operational use cases."
"We did not encounter any stability issues with Automation Anywhere during the time I worked with the solution."
"My clients have seen tremendous value when it comes to automating business processes. The robust nature of the application allows them to scale their business processes pretty quickly."
"Pulling data from web pages using Object Cloning has been an absolute delight."
"It has saved our HR department time since this process automatically happens without anybody's intervention. Our HR department is able to devote their time to more productive work or activities. It has also saved a lot of costs since every employee in the HR department is involved in the attendance and payroll process. Second, the process is now no more human dependent."
"Automation Anywhere has improved my organization by automating many rule-based and nonjudgmental processes in domains like telecommunications, human resources, financial services, and daily or monthly reporting."
"The OCR application is excellent and has helped resolve many issues that I had been facing."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"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."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"Going on-cloud comes with security hiccups and concerns."
"We are having trouble creating a reliable and stable situation in our environment."
"It could be improved in terms of the global analysis of all the issues caused by the dependency components. For example, if bots are running on virtual machines on Microsoft Windows 2019, sometimes an issue might come from the virtual machine. Automation Anywhere should work closely with Microsoft or any other editor with which there are some issues occurring and stopping the bots from running properly."
"The user interface should be enhanced to make things simpler for the user."
"The version that we are using has been difficult for us to code. As changes are very frequent, we have to make sure the code can be updated automatically so we don't have to make a change every time a user makes a change. Then, the user doesn't have to update us and we don't have to push a change to production. We have found a workaround with the help of the Automation Anywhere support people for this."
"We had a major issue when it came to single sign-on. We couldn't get it working. There was a bug in Automation Anywhere that eventually got solved just a few weeks back. However, we have not implemented it. We have had hiccups with the single sign-on, but otherwise it was a smooth setup. We are not using single sign-on because of this bug."
"AA sometimes poses compatibility problems with new web browser versions like Chrome."
"The cost of this solution can be improved."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"Support options need improvement. It is sometimes hard to find a solution to any given problem, thus you are forced to use another solution."
"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 price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"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."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
