Great for beginners, but setup is a hassle for Mobile Testing
What do you like best about the product?
Katalon is beginner friendly for desktop testing but has a complex setup for mobile
What do you dislike about the product?
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

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company was looking for a tool to automate website testing across different environments, and Katalon solved the hassle of running tests manually
This is a complete end to end test automation solution for web and api testing needs.

Ease of access to various features of the tool is commendable. Integration to commonly used features like Git, Jenkins, docker images is really helpful. Manual and script mode is great to use for beginners.

What great journey it has been for 4 years
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of starting automation with Katalon is amazing: during an internal course we were able to quickly make it work and have 10 users internally split worldwide script their first Web UI automated scenario with no technical issue or limitation like third party software install / library install / machine configuration...
The fact that a Docker image is provided for remote run with ease and all the capabilities which come with katalon Platform are great comapred to other tools: TestOps website to upload / centralize all tests results with screenshots and video records, visual testing simplified, etc...
Also Katalon does not stand idle and keeps innovating, bringing new features or product, and has both a very active and professional support in addition of a supportive forum community.
Last but not least Katalon still provides a free unlimited version of their studio, with less feature than paying version of course, but it's a clear advantage comapred to competition where often only full version 30 days trial are proposed which can be complicated for demo / training / PoC etc...

What do you dislike about the product?
Perfect for Web UI clearly, whereas not so great for Desktop App test automation...
I guess all this hard work to make Katalon such a great tool comes with a price, explaining why license prices increased significantly over the years and are now close to competition. Yet it is somthing to keep in mind that Katalon is not as affordable as it used to be.
