We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and Zeenyx AscentialTest 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 initial setup of Katalon Studio was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"The best feature is the split up between test cases and the test object. This allows us to easily change an error."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"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."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"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."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"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."
"I can say that in my company, we struggle a lot with iOS automation."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"Its stability needs improvement."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
