"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"One of the features that I like is Object Recognition. It worked very well, and it allowed me to create a dynamic expert based on my requirements."
"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."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. 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."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"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."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"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."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"Katalon Studio could improve having visual testing, but I think they're launching that feature very soon. We would like to see an increase in the usage of AI."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
