Functional automation features and the recording functionality saves time but the performance and script execution is slow
I would like to see improvements in how Katalon Studio works with iOS applications, especially with React Native applications. The speed is very slow. It takes time. Katalon Studio also takes my laptop memory, and execution becomes slow for the script. There are parallel execution options. I'm sure their online cloud version must be very fast, but as a service-based company, we are under NDA with our clients and can't run their code on our servers. I would like to see iOS improve and see a more capable recording feature. Katalon Studio has released an AI version, and I have a demo scheduled to see the new features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform's most valuable features include its recorder, which allows users to create test cases with minimal effort, significantly simplifying the process."
"The best thing about the solution is that there is a record and playback functionality."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"User-friendly and a good solution."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is the ease of use of the solution."
"The recording feature of this product is very valuable for our testing purposes."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"It has been good so far for API testing on Mac. It is not that hard to learn and use. There is so much support out there, so if anyone wants to start using it, there is enough help."
 

Cons

"The solution currently does not support mobile applications. It would significantly improve its versatility."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"It would be helpful to have an automatic save feature."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"Katalon Studio's pricing is expensive."
"Its stability needs improvement."
"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."
"We would like to see improved integration with various reporting tools; this would make our testing data more complete."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product helps reduce overall costs by decreasing reliance on manual testers and speeding up testing cycles."
"The product is expensive."
"We are using the free version. We plan on getting a paid version because there is a limitation in terms of the number of users. We want to maximize it."
"Its pricing is quite reasonable. If you require their help in getting started, then there is a professional services fee on top of the product license cost."
"The prices are very high."
"The solution is more affordable than other vendors."
"In terms of pricing, Katalon, Selenium, and Cypress all represent a similar level of investment. The software for these tools are either true open source or almost open source (because they charge a small fee), so pricing is a neutral point for me."
"There is a free version of the tool to use and support is available through the community forums, but there is a licensed version as well."
"There is no cost for setup or licensing."
