We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and ReadyAPI Test 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."I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"This solution is very user-friendly to learn and implement, and less technical knowledge is required to handle automation."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"The solution scales well."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"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."
"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 Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"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."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
