User Testimonials
	Katalon	Tricentis Tosca
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tricentis Tosca is well suited for packaged applications like SAP, Salesforce, Workday, etc. It also works well with API testing and Web UI testing. Tosca is highly suited for Projects which require a high level of collaboration between team members across different locations. It's less suited for mobile automation, Reporting, and test scenarios with high input data. Incentivized Vinayak Bandewar Test Architect Read full review
Pros	Easy to setup and quick to get started: As Katalon comes with built-in features a new automation tester can automate easily. Script creation time is quick. Test Analytics: Katalon also provides analytics which tells you the pattern of your automated tests at a different instance of time. Third Party Integration: Katalon provides amazing integration with 3rd party tools like JIRA, ALM, GIT, JENKINS, etc. Image-based testing: Katalon also provides inbuilt image based test automation. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tosca provides a one-stop solution for your test-automation needs. One can use it to automate testing of desktop (web/stand-alone) applications, Mobile(Native as well as Web) applications etc. It is a great tool since it not only helps in test automation but also in maintaining a suite for Manual testing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	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	Documentation - struggled multiple times with features not explained very well, or not explained at all The only support is on Tricentis Forums, where, sometimes, based on 'luck' - you will open a support case, and wait few days until you get the chance to speak with someone from Tricentis and show case your issue Incentivized AI Alexandru Cristian Ion QA Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We aim to renew Tosca for our organization. What we lose in license cost is gained by having employee that do not need programming background. We also recoup a lot of the cost on the rapidity of automation. Only the support we might not use as much. I believe Tosca is here to stay at our organization Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Due to the slowness, there is an intermediate timeout. There is no other problem. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It can be a challenge for new users who have never used an automation tool. For example, it is hard to understand the layout of the screen and where to find how to update the data. The interface can be overwhelming at first.

Support Rating	I love the support. They have provided answers and solutions for most of our questions or doubts that could come up. They also have provided basic tutorials on how to get familiarized with the program. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tricentis team was very supportive. Support is expensive but they helped us at many level. Setting up timeline, implementation, precise questions on automation challenges. We had an account manager and technical people we could as to talk to. Support was generally timely and helping. They often proposed to come on site to help us which would cost more but could be helpful Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Initially, our oragnization had to integrate Katalon tests with the Jenkins to schedule the test runs. The reports were stored in company local database. To identify test flakiness or product issue one had to dig deep into the reports. This issue was all solved by Katalon TestOps. Katalon TestOps provides report history in one place and also helps in easy triage of the report by pointing out script flakiness Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	User friendly interface is key to any tool usage. If the features supported by tool is enormous but the interface is not easy to use, then the product will not reach its optimal usage. Tosca scores high numbers with this regard. The documentations and KB articles it supports are very helpful and allows us to solve our issues independently. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	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	It really had a very good impact on our ROI. We were able to automate most of the apps and layers with in it and get a very short execution time which led to increased releases with in short span of time. Time to market really improved and efficiency of developing scripts was not too bad. With built in test dashboards, it was easy to pull metrics and share the insights with management.
