What I like best about Katalon Platform is its all-in-one ecosystem that simplifies test automation across Web, API, Mobile, and Desktop in a single environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited debugging flexibility compared to traditional IDEs like IntelliJ or Eclipse — especially when dealing with complex Groovy scripting or third-party libraries. Also, while the object repository is helpful, it can get cluttered quickly, and managing large numbers of test objects sometimes feels less intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 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.

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.

It's quite difficult, and there are many obstacles to running with iOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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.
