We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and OpenText UFT One 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."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."
"It is a good tool and provides all the essential features for our business requirements."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"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."
"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"The basic framework and project organization is very good."
"With certainty, the best feature of UFT is its compatibility with so many products, tools and technologies. It is a challenge currently to find a single tool on the market besides UFT that will successfully work for so many projects and environments. For example, UFT supports GUI testing of Oracle, PeopleSoft, PowerBuilder, SAP (v7.20), Siebel, Stingray, Terminal Emulator, Putty, and Windows Objects (particularly Dialog Boxes). Furthermore, UFT has the built-in functionality to import Excel input files."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"The shared repositories can be used throughout all testing which makes jobs easier."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it works on multiple platforms and technologies."
"I find UFT One to be very good for thick clients, which are non-browser applications."
"I like the Help feature in UFT One. For example, if you are navigating a particular window, where there are different options. One wouldn’t know the purpose of every option, but there is no need to search because that window contains a Help button. If you click on that Help button, it directly navigates to the respective help needed. VBScript is very easy to understand and easy to prepare scripts with minimal learning curve."
"It's not only web-based but also for backend applications; you can also do the integration of the applications."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"Now we are having difficulties in using it and had to limit our automation experts to the features that Katalon allows us to use for free. It was free access and they claimed that it would be free for all time."
"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."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"It should start working on Silverlight automation."
"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."
"It doesn't support Telerik UI controls and we are currently looking for a patch for this."
"You have to deal with issues such as the firewall and how can the tool talk with the application, i.e., if the application is on a company network and so on. That, of course, is important to figure out."
"The price is very high. They should work to lower the costs for their clients."
"I am not sure if they have a vision of how they want to position the leads in the market, because if you look at Tosca, Tosca is one of the automation tools that have a strategy, and it recently updated its strategy with SAP. They are positioning them as a type of continuous testing automation tool. And if you notice Worksoft, particularly the one tool for your enterprise application, your Worksoft is positioning. I am not sure if Micro Focus UFT has a solid strategy in place. They must differentiate themselves so that people recognize Micro Focus UFT for that reason."
"Scripting has become more complex from a maintenance standpoint to support additional browsers."
"The product doesn't provide free training for the basic features."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
