Katalon vs. SyntraFlow

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.

SyntraFlow has contributed to the following to ensure this outcome: 1. Automating processes that felt more repetitive. 2. Adding visibility into how tasks are managed across the team. 3. Reducing time spent on manual follow-ups. 4. Easier task handling across teams. As a result, workflows became more streamlined, and our teams can now focus on more strategic tasks and tangible results.

• 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.

• SyntraFlow is particularly useful for us because it consistently helps us simplify our apps and workflows in real time.
• Teams can now focus their efforts on what matters rather than resolving repetitive issues.

• 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.

• Based on our workflows, the initial process was slow because it needed more alignment.
• Our team also needed time to adapt to their work ethos, and it is now well coordinated.

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

I'm giving full rating to SyntraFlow because of it's service and kind of work completed by them is really appreciated.

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.

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 selected syntraFlow because the service offering is most ideal for companies that already have familiarity with an oracle fusion environment.

• 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.

• For us, Syntraflow's ROI is high because it has saved us hours on workflow management and testing.
• It has also helped us manage bugs more easily, which adds significant operational value to our company.
