We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and Ranorex Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"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."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is intuitive and pretty self-sustaining. You don't need a lot of help with it in terms of setup or assistance."
"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."
"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."
"Object identification is good."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"We have been seeing some error pop-ups that are difficult to understand why they were triggered."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"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've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"I would like to be able to customize the data grids. They are currently written in Visual Basic and we are unable to get down to the cell level without hard-code."
"There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman."
"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."
"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."
"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."
"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."
"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."
"Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful."
