Katalon True Platform Reviews & Product Details

I am Selenium guy and learnt to code in traditional way. Recently started exploring some other tool which can reduce my maintenance over the time and also designing an automation for new use case is easy. That's where I find Katalon very useful. Its super easy to automate new scenarios, and maintain the existing one if there are changes in the application. Not just that, It's super easy to start with, you can start using it quickly without a deep learning. The community support is great, It works with our existing continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like in katalon studio still i noticed personally it's very speed execution with best quality and it's saving our more time and efficiency , over all great experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For example : I have noticed one thing during running test cases in between failed the specific test cases there showing in logs only elements not found but actual why that case failed details logs and video attachment is missing , i suggest better add video attachment too it will help to understand the where test case failed and why test case failed.

Katalon platform free version is useful to start with, however, has limited features. Self healing capability is really helpful but sometime it does not work properly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Katalon Platform's low code automation because I don't need to be a full programmer to create test cases, which speeds up test creation. The interface is easy to use, making it more accessible. Setting it up is also easy compared to other tools, as we can run a setup file or download the release from Git. Katalon Platform supports mobile automation and API testing, which was a key reason for switching from Playwright and Cypress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Katalon should let you open multiple projects, just like developers do with different windows. The code merge feature should work perfectly, and the Git integration could use some improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Katalon offers great features, it does have a few feature which still need to improve. The self-healing capability is useful, but sometimes it fails to handle elements accurately. Handling large test suites may lead to slower execution speeds sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Katalon is a great testing tool nowadays because it has everything a quality engineers need for complete automation projects, even the free version is having very useful features.

It's super easy to pick up, you can start using it quickly without a deep learning curve. The community support is excellent, so getting help with any problem is fast and simple. It works seamlessly with our existing continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am hoping that a few more key features would be included in the free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked that it automatically captures the data we enter in the testing window. It auto-captures everything required, including the XPaths and the input data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It becomes difficult to check results when I have to go through each test case one by one, and I disliked this about Katalon, especially when there is a very high number of test cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Katalon Studio provides everything I need for automation testing in one platform. I use it mainly for web automation and regression testing, and I really like how easy it is to create, maintain, and reuse test cases. It integrates well with Git/Bitbucket, BrowserStack, and Jenkins, which helps in managing CI/CD pipelines smoothly. The UI is simple to understand, even for someone transitioning from manual to automation testing. The built-in keywords, reports, and object repository save a lot of effort.

Sometimes the IDE becomes a bit slow when opening large projects or when too many browser drivers are configured. The documentation could be improved for advanced configurations, and the new releases sometimes require plugin re-installation. But overall, the product remains stable and reliable.

I was a Selenium user since a long time. While exploring the Katalon features, I found it very easy to use with almost no maintenance effort. Below are few benefits which I have noticed while using Katalan so far.

1. It provides complete ecosystem (Web, API, Mobile, Desktop) for having automation solutions for complex enterprise application.

2. Unlike other automation solutions, with Katalon, we don’t need to integrate multiple other tools for automation.

3. Having codeless feature in place, it makes easy for new comers to start with automation. At the same time it also accommodates teams with mixed skill levels. Even I started exploring this with codeless feature :)

4. With Katalon we design less flaky script as it has build-in smart waits.

5. Minimal setup time and lower maintenance overhead compare to any other automation tool.

6. Seemless integration with CI/CD pileline

7. Free training program are there along with global community which makes it easy to start with Katalon platform & easy of implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has many important benefits compare to any other automation tool available in the market. However, Free versions has limited features, and it’s not free for enterprise uses. So, team find it difficult to switch from other free tool to Katalon. So may be more features can be included in free version for more effective use for small teams.
