Ability to execute large test suites remotely on TestCloud, leaving Studio free for scripting & running individual test cases.

Katalon Studio is easy to learn and gives beginner to advanced automation testers an arena to execute basic to complex test scenarios.

Katalon TestOps offers the reporting and analysis we need to identify issues on our products and manage our automation setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Visual Testing part of the platform could use some improvements - such as being able to manage baseline collections a bit easier and making the screenshot mechanism a bit more stable.

We cannot currently use the API offerings of the tool as we store our projects in Gitlab and there is no way to encrypt API tokens as variables so this isn't good from a security perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Katalon Studio is easy to set up and ideal for both beginners and experienced testers. Its integration with TestOps helps track results and reports efficiently. The built-in keywords and no-code/low-code options save a lot of time. Katalon’s frequent updates and responsive support team are a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While powerful, Katalon can be resource-heavy on low-end machines. Debugging custom keywords can be tricky at times, and updating plugins sometimes causes unexpected issues. A built-in smart wait feature for dynamic elements would also improve test stability across various web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Katalon is the ease of use when it comes to automation.

I didn’t find it difficult to follow courses provided by Katalon or tutorials on YouTube. Even though I don’t come from an IT background and have limited coding knowledge, Katalon has been very helpful throughout my three years of work. It also played a big role in helping me transition from a manual tester to an automation tester. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don’t like about Katalon is the mobile integration.

I’ve found it quite difficult to use Katalon for mobile automation, whether it's for Android or iOS, especially when it's assigned by my supervisor. I’ve faced many challenges working with mobile testing. On top of that, since I’m based in Indonesia, most local tutorials are focused on web automation, not mobile. Even when I do find mobile-related learning resources, I often struggle to follow them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I prefer Katalon for several reasons:

User-Friendly Interface: Katalon offers an intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, making it accessible for users of all skill levels.

Automated Framework Creation: The platform automatically generates testing frameworks, streamlining the setup process and saving valuable time.

Extensive Keyword Library: Katalon provides a comprehensive set of keywords, enhancing the flexibility and capability of test scripts.

Parallel Test Executions: It supports parallel test executions, significantly reducing the overall testing time.

Test Cloud Options: Katalon offers cloud-based testing options, enabling scalable and efficient test management.

Mobile Testing: The platform includes robust mobile testing features, ensuring comprehensive test coverage across various devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited Scripting Languages: Katalon only supports Groovy as a scripting language, which can be restrictive for users who prefer other languages1.

Performance Issues: Some users have reported performance problems, such as the tool freezing or lagging during tests1.

Mobile Testing Challenges: Mobile testing can be slower and more cumbersome, requiring additional effort to capture and write code1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Throughout my experience with Katalon, the one thing that stood out to me was the low code nature of it where its record and capture feature made it simple to capture page objects without the need to specifically write xpaths or other web locators for it. The amount of time that is essentially saved by being able to capture page objects with a simple click followed by replicating a users actions through the record button and then convert that into a test case is remarkable. Katalon essentially enables you to focus on the bigger picture while reducing the efforts taken in setting up complex page classes and validating plus writing up page objects.

Although the benefits outweigh the negatives, if any, I would say a useful addition to Katalon Studio would be making the the Studio Assist AI provide suggestions to the code on its own instead of the user having to specifically highlight a section of the code and have it provide the output. Much like Amazons code whisperer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Katalon platform is very user freindly. easy to work, and the implementation of test cases is easy. I use the studio daily to run my scripts, and it works very smoothly. It has so many built-in features that make the scripting easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I Mostly use the Katalon platform for API Testing and it is helpful if it can call the HTTP request, but for some cases, we use TCP lister instead of HTTP and we cannot automate the TCP requests in the katlaon. so I see only this downside from the Katalon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like using the Katalon studio why because it's uses of more flexible and very easy to understand. In this platform more advantage is record and playback and xpath will automatically picked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Katalon studio disadvantage is sometime Xpath will be chaged or not working , that time will manually chage the Xpath and while recording the script Katalon platform is very slow or hanged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
