"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."
"Smart Wait and XPath healing are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"The most valuable of this solution is the no code option. It offers drag and drop when it comes to development and removes the need for a developer."
"It provides automated testing. Instead of us doing manual testing, we can utilize Leapwork, and it tests most of our critical processes. In the next phase, we also plan to do some process work with it, such as using Leapwork to create reports or provide certain extracts of data."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"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."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"There could potentially be more reporting within the solution. We need more issue reports, for example."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"This solution could be improved by offering better reporting related to the integration into Azure DevOps."
"The only thing that I don't like about the product is the need to deploy agents on the laptops of people doing the testing. So, you have an agent on a server, then you have an agent on the laptop of the person who is doing the testing, and that seems like a lot of stuff and a kind of anti-cloud. Why do I have to deploy agents on people's machines in order to do something in the cloud? I'm sure they're doing that so they can monitor their licensing and all that stuff, but it is not necessarily a friendly process."
"The initial setup is difficult."
"It is a very comprehensive tool, and there is a significant learning curve to being able to adopt the tool. Because it does so much, there is only so much that you can learn. You can, however, do some simpler things right away. They do have a kind of boot camp where some of their experts engage with you, and during that time, you can work on the top initiatives that you want to do, and that's a good process. After you start using the tool, there is a lot more that you would want to do."
