We performed a comparison between Katalon Studio and LambdaTest based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Katalon Studio's biggest advantage is its price. It's a good tool for the price, albeit with some limitations when you compare it with tools like Tricentis Tosca."
"The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"It provides us daily feedback on the status (failing/working) of the core features of our websites."
"I like the feature where you can define a model that represents your website and then reuse the components from the model. It makes creating more test cases easy."
"Our test execution time was reduced to 16 mins from five hours when executed in parallel on multiple VMs. This has been extremely helpful!"
"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."
"The support docs are precise and you can get started with them easily."
"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."
"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"The most valuable features are that it's essentially on-demand, and you only focus on getting the code that needs to be executed without having to worry about the OS, hardware, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"During parallel execution, some reports are randomly switched."
"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."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"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."
"Katalon Studio should improve its usability, it still needs some improvement where users can easily use it to build their automation suite. It requires some initial work to set it up. There should be more keywords in the library to limit the coding requirements, this will allow a non-technical person easily start using it, which would be better."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"I think Lambdatest is a valuable tool for our team and things that have room for improvement would be mobile app testing, as it can be an important addition to the tool."
"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."
"Their smart testing module needs improvement."
"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."
"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"Load flow compared to other stacks needs improvement."
"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."
