They get into the meeting, understand the problem, and try to provide a solution quickly.
Support should be free, especially for product-related issues.
I would rate UiPath's support neutrally at a five.

Katalon Studio has very good scalability.
Proper knowledge of Orchestrator and CI/CD processes makes the product truly scalable.
Scaling with UiPath Test Cloud is supported; they have the infrastructure to scale automation to meet business needs.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
UiPath Test Cloud is generally stable with occasional performance issues, earning user ratings between seven and nine out of ten.
It needs more stability when test cases are executed.
In my experience, Katalon Studio is stable, but sometimes I encounter lag and crash issues.
I have not encountered any major bugs or crashes.
UiPath Test Suite has matured over the years and is now quite stable.
It is performing better than two to three years back; significant improvements have been made for complete project delivery.
 

Room For Improvement

Katalon Studio struggles with stability, scripting diversity, integration, documentation, and requires better support, pricing, and functionality enhancements.
Enhancements are needed in mobile automation, integration, reporting, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness for improved UiPath Test Cloud workflows.
Parallel execution is available, but not with the free version.
Providing clearer guidance during the trial period for certification and training modules would also help.
There is significant competition, so providing a good offer with extra features could be beneficial.
If they could add defect management, it could work independently without needing Jira.
UiPath should introduce compatibility so existing processes in Selenium or other tools can work seamlessly with UiPath Test automation.
I've noticed that adding more users impacts the speed, although nothing stops entirely.
 

Setup Cost

Katalon Studio offers free and paid versions, with varied opinions on affordability and competitiveness against similar tools.
UiPath Test Cloud is seen as valuable yet costly, with prices perceived higher than competitors but justified by features.
The approximate cost is around $8,000.
Although there are free automation software options available, Katalon Studio offers everything in a single hub for a fee.
The pricing of Katalon Studio is affordable, making it a sensible option for those looking for an affordable range.
Our customers usually pay around 30K to 35K for five licenses, which is priced per year.
The pricing of UiPath tends to be on the higher side, which can restrict smaller companies from adopting it.
 

Valuable Features

Katalon Studio is renowned for its flexibility, ease of use, and comprehensive support for various testing and automation tasks.
UiPath Test Cloud integrates with tools, offers low-code, customized tests, AI features, and saves costs on testing processes.
We can schedule our test cases, and the report which we get can be shared with higher-level management.
Katalon Studio has positively impacted my organization because I have noticed that I can save more than 50% of our time automating test cases.
Now, using Katalon Studio, we have a 50% increase in velocity in the test and create automatic tests.
What I really like about UiPath Test Suite is its ability to ensure that any changes made do not affect other functionalities.
The most valuable feature of UiPath Test Cloud that I have found is the TestManager dashboard, which integrates with Jira through Planview Tasktop.
The ability of the test suite to automate tests across a wide range of technologies is great since UiPath's background in RPA is specifically designed to automate basically any and all technologies.

Featured Reviews

Ramanagowda Hullur - PeerSpot reviewer
Recording limitations and remote access challenges have affected desktop application testing
Katalon Studio has proven effective in our deliverables, particularly in designing the framework where other tools typically require coding in client libraries such as Python or Java. With Katalon Studio, there is no such complexity, allowing us to organize projects modularly based on folder structures without needing to write separate code. The self-healing feature for web application automation and its built-in CI/CD ecosystem integration eliminates the need for external tools for pipeline setup. Katalon Studio excels in CI/CD integration, providing an inbuilt ecosystem without the need for external setup, and it features a postings structure along with keyword and library availability. Newcomers to the team can easily adapt to the setup or project structure, which contributes to its popularity, along with its low-code or no-code capability that allows for a comprehensive platform supporting web, mobile, API, and desktop automation. The self-healing mechanism for test cases autonomously identifies issues with locators and ensures they continue functioning, which is impressive, along with the robust object repository. Katalon Studio has significantly aided our team, especially when clients expect deliveries for CI/CD integration that requires automation test scripts to run on a daily schedule. The self-healing feature automatically identifies available locators for elements in the DOM, ensuring that test cases remain functional. Katalon Studio has positively impacted our organization by facilitating faster delivery when clients have urgent requirements. We can deliver quickly based on urgency due to the features Katalon Studio provides. This has led to significant reductions in time spent on framework configuration, designing, and training individuals who are unfamiliar with the tool, helping us save both time and costs.
Manigandan Rajavelu - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive, good value for money, and a lot of time savings
I discovered a lot of bugs in UiPath Test Suite. If I publish a test case in Test Manager as well as in Orchestrator, the existing test case does not get replaced. It is appending the test case but not replacing it. We want to replace the existing test case, but this functionality is not available. In Test Manager, there are a lot of defects in the ROI report that we provide to the operations team on a monthly basis. It is not very clear and detailed. There is no detailed explanation of every test case. There is only a high-level overview. We cannot download the report from Test Manager. We have to use some other tool, such as Power BI, to view the data.
