AI features and automation save time and enhance test quality
Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually. It can integrate with different applications and is user-friendly. One notable AI feature is the self-healing capability, which automatically corrects failed scripts, solving problems in less than five minutes and improving the quality of code.

StuartBarker - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that provides effective test management and real-time reporting capabilities
I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira where the status of tests is not displayed (in Jira) due to I suspect security settings on the browser. In a large corporate environment, it is not easily changed. The support wasn't particularly helpful. It would be great if I could create custom reports, ideally with a tool designed specifically for that.

Cons

"There are stability troubles. My area does not have a good connection. That's why sometimes I face issues."
"The free version is limited."
"The execution module of Katalon Test Ops may need some improvement, especially when running a high volume of test scripts."
"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"The reports should be more user-friendly."
"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."
"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."
"The product is not much expensive."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
