    Katalon Studio is above both the tools is due to its codeless test automation feature and having API, desktop, web, and mobile automation in one place but obviously there is room for improvement when desktop automation is of primary importance in the automation.

    I've used the Selenium IDE before. According to Katalon Studio, it is very slow and has little functionality.

    Katalon TestOps is well suited for an oraganization who want to organize their automation collections and have everything in one place. It provides good insight on test runs, failures and also helps in defect tracking. It is extremely easy to schedule and run test suites automatically. With the help of test history, it becomes easier to triage the report and identify if it is a product issue or a test flakiness. Also with the automation run scheduling features with custom options, user do not have to manually trigger the runs and just run the scheduler to do the job.

    Cons
    Katalon Inc
    • Integration with Azure is painstakingly slow as it takes too much time to upload reports to Azure. When raised with the support team i was advised to contact Microsoft who promptly and correctly replied that its an issue with the katalon plugin.
    • Non Responsive Customer Support. Several mails were replied late.
    • The Desktop app uses too much memory when booting up and running tests even on a 16gb RAM.

    Due to the slowness, there is an intermediate timeout. There is no other problem.

    Return on Investment
    Katalon Inc
    • 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.
