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."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."
"It is easy for a non-technical person to use and adopt."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The most valuable features of Katalon Studio are its user-friendliness and the AI smart healing capabilities."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"The production and the efficiency of making your test cases can be very high."
"The interface is fine and there is nothing else to add in terms of enhancement."
"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."
"We have used it for the web and Windows-based applications. It is very productive in terms of execution."
"UFT is very strongly built. It's widely used, so there's a lot of support."
"It is very simple to use, and the scripting language is even easier."
"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."
"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."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"Object Spy is brittle. When I try to capture objects, I have to proceed multiple times before it works."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"We have had some issues when it comes to stability, which is something that needs to be improved."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"The artificial intelligence functionality is applicable only on the web, and it should be expanded to cover non-web applications as well."
"Micro Focus UFT One could benefit from creating modules that are more accessible to non-technical users. Without a developer background or at least basic knowledge of VBScript, using Micro Focus UFT One may not be feasible for everyone. This is something that Micro Focus, now owned by OpenText, should consider in order to cater to business professionals as well. While Micro Focus UFT One does have a recording function, it still requires a certain level of IT proficiency to create effective automation, which may be challenging for those outside of the technical field."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"They should include AI-based testing features."
"[Tech support is] not a 10 because what happens with some of our issues is that we might not get a patch quickly and we have to hold on to an application until we get a proper solution."
"Sometimes UFT can take a while to open and sometimes will run slower than expected."
