We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and Katalon Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"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."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"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."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"It has low productivity."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"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."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"One improvement would be if it could support more programming languages such as JavaScript or Python. Right now, it is only on Groovy, which I think is not a too popular language."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
