We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Katalon Studio 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 most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."
"MetaBots are useful when connecting to websites or to forms with objects that need to be captured."
"They have a credential vault, which is 256-bit encrypted. That is the highest security that can be provided when it comes to credential maintenance. With a credential vault, other than the user who is entering the password, no one else knows what the password is."
"It has definitely helped automating a lot of processes, but it is very difficult to build resilient bots. It is very difficult to find skilled developers in the market, who actually build resilient bots with appropriate error handling. Maintaining the bots is another challenge as the applications keep changing."
"I love its reliability, ease of use, and the vast customer support that are always present to help us."
"The best part about Automation Anywhere is the easy to use UI. It's very user-friendly. You have everything that you want in front of your eyes. You just have to drag and drop, then build your logic accordingly."
"One very useful feature is the IQ Bot, which is helpful in the operation of the data input process to all of their applications."
"We saw a 70 percent decrease in manual steps. If something took 10 steps to do, we are doing it in three steps today."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"We are now performing automated testing in 15 minutes, which were previously taking a long time when doing it manually."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The scalability of the product is good."
"We have trouble with large volumes of data in Excel and are not getting good results."
"It would be helpful if Device Credentials can sync with Active Directory so that for the IT policy case that requires periodic password resetting, there is no need for a human to input manually into each Bot Runner machine."
"One of the things that the product should have is to add more advanced level developer capabilities into the platform. I know it is easy for business, non-technical people. However, for the developers, there should be some more features within the product so they can build advanced level use cases much faster."
"I would like to see extensive OCR capabilities in the next release."
"Blue Prism is more secure than Automation Anywhere. E.g., Blue Prism has a system that is difficult to penetrate. You can't simply go into their system and make any changes."
"We would like to see the scalability improve from a local perspective."
"Intelligent automation is currently a buzz and I would love to see more innovation in this segment."
"When I change the name of a variable in the Variable Manager, I would really like it to change in the code."
"Its stability needs improvement."
"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."
"Katalon doesn't support testing of hybrid applications. It's a limitation."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"The free version of the solution is not user friendly at all."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
