Performance Tester/QA at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Network Emulation allows for performance testing of geographically-distributed users.
It is a great performance testing tool. The most valuable feature of the tool is its Avatar technology. Scripting is really fast, compared to other tools. It works for almost all major protocols, platforms and browsers. It makes complex scenarios simple, and we need minimal custom coding. It also provides features for Network Emulation, which is quite helpful in testing the performance for geographically-distributed users. Appvance can provide information from end to end (back-end and front-end), which makes it surpass other tools. The tool provides protocol level as well as browser level response time. And it can be integrated with major monitoring tools. As it is a web-based tool, it makes it easy to access anywhere anytime. All the team members can access the common information easily.

Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort
I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

Senior Software Engineer 2 at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Automation test development becomes accessible and effective for functional testers
Tricentis Tosca is a codeless tool, making it easy for everyone to understand the transition of how to develop scenarios or test cases. In Tricentis Tosca, analyzing failures is straightforward because every time it fails somewhere, I get the screenshot, which helps me analyze how and why it failed. It has all the modules, including some pre-built ones that can be reused efficiently. Compared to other code tools such as Selenium, where I used to develop one script in one day, with Tricentis Tosca I can easily develop one script in four hours or three hours, saving four to five hours in a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great performance testing tool."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The solution is a stable one."
"It has enabled true end-to-end testing."
"The OCR (Optical Character Cognition) is a very useful feature."
"The best feature of Eggplant Test is that it's very easy to use; you just capture those pictures of the objects in your application and it's easy to automate."
"Prior to using the product, all regression testing was done manually for our POS system, and now regression test packs are 70% automated."
"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"I would definitely recommend this product to my colleagues or my friends because it is very useful if they are using the Tosca Query Language (TQL)."
"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are the ease of use, you do not need to program if you do not want to."
"Scriptless SW QA automation provides a very quick on ramp to test automation with little maintenance."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."
"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"Reporting features can be improved to provide more flexibility, collation, exporting in different formats, etc."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results."
"The biggest issue I had was the crashing. You could be in the middle of setting up and writing up a nice little script and then it would crash."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application, it almost gives you the impression that the application was written in Java Swing."
"It has low productivity."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"At the time I was using the product, the reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"If you need to improve one of the Tosca engines, you have to develop it in the same language, such as C# and Java, so you need more technical experts to help you."
"Do not buy this tool if you simply need a driver for your automation, as open source solutions (e.g. Selenium), or technology specific solutions are more suitable here."
"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Exploratory testing engine needs improved element recognition (at lease in JAVA Swing)"
"Needs a UI to visualize the test case development."
"I personally feel like the pricing is a little bit on the high end."
"The solution needs to improve its simulation of mobile environments. Right now, that aspect is really lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."
"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
"There are different types of licenses: enterprise or professional. The cost varies."
"Tricentis Tosca is not expensive at all."
"Tricentis Tosca should improve its pricing. It is expensive."
"It is expensive. There is also the training cost, but it does speed up the process. So, you get a return on investment."
"The licensing cost for Tricentis Tosca is expensive. It has multiple features, but to use all of its features, you have to pay for additional licenses."
"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."
