User Testimonials
	ACCELQ	Katalon
Likelihood to Recommend	ACCELQ can support multiple technologies such as web, mobile, API, and mainframe. It’s also suited for SAAS solutions such as Salesforce and addresses challenges such as dynamic HTML. It’s easy to set up, and onboarding is easy, and overall lead time is comparatively less. The overall execution results are captured with screenshots, and it’s easy to debug errors. It has integrations with leading cloud-based desktop and mobile farm services such as Saucelabs, browser stack, etc.; ACCELQ is not developer friendly, and hence the overall adoption for a continuous integration scenario is very limited. If you are using a different test management solution, the integration between accelQ and that tool needs ti to be built and hence requires additional development effort, and it’s buggy too. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Free trial version is fine but you don't get the adequate support and VFM for the licensed version. Customer service needs to be improved a lot and any QA's with less technical background or less time to troubleshoot issues in the software on their own would find it difficult to use.

Pros	Scriptless and hence coding is easy. Maintenance of the scripts are easy. Learning curve is small. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Easy to setup and quick to get started: As Katalon comes with built-in features a new automation tester can automate easily.

Cons	Visual regression features Test generation from UI and UX platforms like Figma Manual test tools can be more integrated with AutoPilot Incentivized Kuman Kothiya Test Lead Read full review	Katalon Studio supports only grovvy language for now. It will be nice to see support for other scripting languages. Performance issues; sudden crash of the tool. Debug button is provided only to licensed owner since Katalon 7+ version. New tool, few resources available to learn. So there is a mild learning curve here. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	50% improvement in test efficiency of a team member 40% overall cost cutting for the project 40% team members are being AI focused tool users Incentivized Kuman Kothiya Test Lead Read full review	Support can be better: As mentioned before, katlon community is still growing but is currently a small community. If you are stuck, its hard to find help in the community and one has to reach out to the support for help. This takes a while before you can get solution to your problem. Result upload takes little longer time: It is been observed that uploading tests results takes little longer. Sometimes it gets hard to integrate: Since this is fairly a new tool, requires lot of learning curve to get the job done effectively. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
