Pros

Very good, great customer support. It is easy to implement and the results are great.
The ease of use is fantastic and the amount you can test. Definitely helped with my learning of developing with QA in mind.
It is super easy to spin up any device you want in a matter of a few minutes, be it iOS, Android, Windows, Mac or even Windows Phone.

Pros

It's been really awesome for people on test automation teams. The coverage it provides with respect to the platforms is superb.
The community in katalon is great, its a small yet growing community with lots of willing and helpful users. I myself have become an avid user of the tool and the forum.
It is available free of cost, being an open source application, and also a great interface to use. It provides relatively good features for mobile automation.

Cons

Main Problem for testing apps is Limited set of devices in inventory. BrowserStack removes this hurdle by providing developers, testers a platform where they can test apps on multiple devices.
It was very difficult to have different sets of iOS devices as they are very expensive and also their simulators are working on only mac machines.
There are no Linux/Ubuntu devices available for testing. Also, it is a bit expensive for small companies that don't use it that often, but only once in a while.

Cons

Also, tests are always failing in the headless browser and there isn't enough information to investigate what the problem is.
Updates for the software could be with errors when tests couldn't be executed.
Difficult with the backend testing and doesnt support all languages.

Katalon Studio

Great feature rich automation tool for beginners to advanced level testers

Reviewed 6 years ago

We're trying to grown a test automation department, from a non-technical manual QA team. Katalon Studio is allowing our manual testers to contribute to the automation effort, while allowing automation testers to utilise their Java and Webdriver skills.

Pros

Recorder and Playback for beginners, Keyword Driven for intermediates, or Java/Selenium Webdriver for advanced usage. Direct Integration with Git, Jira, Browserstack, Docker, Kobiton, Jenkins, and a console mode allowing Integration with Azure Build pipelines, or anything supporting command line execution. Supports Page Object Model, full Java , Groovy, and Selenium Webdriver syntax directly Based on Eclipse IDE which some will find familiar. Cucumber support for BDD /ATDD Extendable with external with java package imports API testing facility rivalling Postman built in Fully documented features Developers listen to the community

Cons

Growing community, but still in its infancy Analytics tool but still in Beta Support for many integrations, but requires a lot of research to get these working properly Lack of support for .NET languages (although hardly a compromise)
