Provides good scalability but needs a user-friendly coding language
We use the solution for screen-based navigation The solution has its advantages, as it supports virtual machines. Thus, we can integrate it with the DevOps processes and Jenkins server. Presently, the solution only supports Windows. It would be good if it also supports Ubuntu, as we have tools…

Has robust features that requires further development in certain areas such as Desk Manager
We develop regression automation test suites for this purpose We are still in the early phases of development, but there has been improvement. We now have a better understanding of the various scenarios and test cases involved. The Test Manager stands out as the most valuable component. It…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Object identification is good."
"Support is very quick. You can write to them and on the same day, they will respond. This is one of the best features."
"The solutions's regression testing is very important for our company, as is the continuous integration process."
"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."
"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."
"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."
"What I like most about UiPath Test Suite is that it's straightforward, and any user who knows how to use the UiPath Studio can learn how to create a test script in as fast as thirty minutes. There's nothing new you must learn to use UiPath Test Suite because it only has three sections: Given, Then, and When."
"It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels."
"It's effective at testing whatever automation we've built or making sure the automation we've built is working fine."
"We also don't develop test robots like typing codes; we program them with drag-and-drop features."
"We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."
"The document understanding is good."
"It is a very scalable product."
"It's useful for automating tasks."
 

Cons

"For our purposes it requires integration with other products to get out the results in the format we want them. Adding this to the product could improve it."
"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."
"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."
"Other OS Support, Ranorex Spy performance improvement (Especially for Silverlight controls)."
"Part of the challenge is that Ranorex's support is over in Europe, so we can't get responses on the same day. If we had support in the United States that was a bit more timely, that would be helpful."
"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."
"When Ranorex is upgraded, the compatibility with other projects, in version control, in-house or on-premise, fails on occasion. However, overall, the stability is good."
"Ranorex is used in Windows while other solutions, for example, Katalon Studio, are cross-platform. (But in my opinion, overall, Ranorex is better)."
"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."
"Our primary application is built on Windows, so we've faced no significant challenges. However, I think mobile automation is one area where the solution still needs some work."
"The product releases sometimes have issues."
"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."
"We'd like to see the solution integrate with more code or local frameworks."
"I'd like the solution to be even more automated."
"Orchestrator is not easy to use or understand."
"The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."
"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
"I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."
"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
"It represents good value for the investment."
"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
