Katalon Likes & Dislikes
Support is readily available when needed
The ability to record tests is useful, and the element library is handy. I can apply my front-end knowledge to update selectors and it's easy to create tests as a team an share them via a repo.
Ease of use - it intuitive and easy to manage and create test suites without deep programming skills. Flexibility - ability to switch between from low code to using groovy for more advanced tasks is great Modularity - strong support for modularity with the use of reusuable test objects, test cases and parameters
The UI is not great, settings are scattered around the application (project > settings can be hard to navigate before you are familiar with it). I'm not a fan of the UI in general and I'd rather use the code instead, using the application only for specific tasks. Web drivers updates are also problematic, it mostly fails most of the time at least in my environment. I often need to update it manually whenever there is a release. This is not an issue if you are using their docker image
The product feels dated. It's been updated, but still comes across as an old product with a new skin.
- Object Repository Management can become difficult when not maintaining strict naming conventions - Debugging is sometimes frustrating, when cases fail, id appreciate a one liner highlighting the issue rather than only providing the long stack trace - combo of both would be great - Running test suite collections (10 suites) can sometimes cause issues and fail - whereas running the suites individually will not fail.

Very capable products, just clean up some of the tech debt.
Overall the experience has been positive. Documentation is good, Product ease of use is good, Sales support is primarily positive. Sometimes it is difficult to get in touch with personnel. Some nagging IDE bugs that never seem to get resolved.
