We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The platform contributes to faster test release cycles."

More ACCELQ Automate Pros →

"The cost is the most important factor in this tool.""The most valuable feature for me is the number of protocols that can be tested. It not only tests Web, but also SAP, Siebel, .Net, and even pdf.""The most valuable feature is the automation of test cases.""This tool is really good. We don't need to write any code, but it writes the code itself, only record and play. And it is simple, and it is not heavy; I mean, it doesn't have a large footprint, and it works well for us.""The most valuable feature for UFT is the ability to test a desktop application.""The recording feature is quite good as it helps us to find out how things are working.""The most valuable feature is stability.""The solution is very scalable."

Cons
"The platform's reporting aspects can be broader and include more granular details."

More ACCELQ Automate Cons →

"It is unstable, expensive, inflexible, and has poor support.""It would be improved by adding a drag-and-drop interface to help alleviate the coding.""The parallel execution of the tests needs improvement. When we are running tests in LeanFT, there are some limitations in terms of running the same tests simultaneously across different browsers. If I'm running a test, let's say to log in, I should be able to execute it through IE, through Microsoft Edge, through Chrome, through Mozilla, etc. This capability doesn't exist in LeanFT. Parallel execution of the test cases across different browsers need to be added.""The support from Micro Focus needs a lot of improvement.""Integration with other tools can become a costly exercise.""With Smart Bear products generally, you can have only one instance of the tool running on a machine.""The support for .NET Framework and Visual Studio in Micro Focus UFT Developer is currently limited. At present, only Visual Studio 2019 is supported, despite the release of a newer version (2022). Similarly, the tool only supports up to .NET Framework version 4.3.8, while there have been six newer versions released. This is an area that could be improved upon, particularly in the Windows environment.""The tool could be a little easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. It can be optimized."
  • More ACCELQ Automate Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is quite expensive and is priced per seat or in concurrent (or floating) licenses over a period of months."
  • "The pricing is quite high compared to the competition."
  • "The cost of this solution is a little bit high and we are considering moving to another solution."
  • "When we compare in the market with other tools that have similar features, it may be a little bit extra, but the cost is ten times less."
  • "It is cheap, but if you take the enterprise license, it is valid for both software items."
  • "The licensing is very expensive, so often, we don't have enough VMs to run all of our tests."
  • "Its cost is a bit high. From the licensing perspective, I am using a concurrent license. It is not a seed license. It is something that I can use in our network. It can also be used by other users."
  • "The price of the solution could be lowered. The cost is approximately $25 per year for a subscription-based license."
