"Katalon Studio: give it a try"
5/5
What do you like best about Katalon?

What I like most about Katalon Studio is that it is a very complete and versatile tool. It allows you to carry out various types of testing, it allows you to upload the results of the execution of a Test Suite to the cloud, specifically on the Katalon TestOps platform, where you can easily see how the execution of each Test Case turned out. It even has CI/CD! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

What I dislike about Katalon is that I cannot run the Test Suites in CLI format if because I use the free version without a KRE license, therefore I cannot perform Continuous Integration, which is one of the most frequently performed activities today for agile and large-scale projects. If it had this, it would be the ideal tool without a doubt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very user Friendly tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Katalon?

it has many features and has a good and easy UI to present them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

One of the challenges I find with Katalon Platform is that while it's very user-friendly for basic automation, some advanced customizations (like handling dynamic XPaths, complex API chaining, or deeply customized reporting) require more manual effort or scripting than expected. Additionally, test execution can sometimes feel slower compared to lighter frameworks, especially when running large test suites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for beginners, but setup is a hassle for Mobile Testing"
4/5
What do you like best about Katalon?

Katalon is beginner friendly for desktop testing but has a complex setup for mobile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Katalon?

The setup process is a bit lengthy and it was complex at times (particularly the mobile testing part).

To sum it up:

-You need to download large software packages like Android Studio (multiple GBs) and XCode for iOS (which alone takes around 12GB just for the simulator pack)

- The platform requires at least version 18 of Node to be compatible, and Katalon doesn’t manage/notify about this automatically. Without the correct version, even after installing everything, I ran into issues where tests simply don’t run.

- One of Katalon's biggest limitations is the lack of native real device testing support. It doesn’t offer real-device testing on its own unless you integrate it with a third-party service, and the only direct integration available is with BrowserStack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
